Lamorna CoveJust 6 miles from Penzance, Lamorna Cove could be in a different country. This tiny quayside village is some way off the beaten track and has all the atmosphere of a Cornwall long gone. Found at the end of a deep, heavily wooded valley, Lamorna has long been a popular haunt for artists. Divers are drawn to the clear waters here, while those seeking a tranquil spot to enjoy the coastline will find that lovely, unspoilt Lamorna is just what they’ve been looking for. More »

Porthcurno Beach
Get to the bottom of the hit-and-miss path to Porthcurno, and you’ll feel as though you’ve stumbled into the Mediterranean - steeply shelving powder-fine sand, an almost luminous blue sea and cliffs sheltering you from the sea breezes. More »

Jelberts Ices
Jelberts has resisted the temptation to expand and remains a one-off, niche product - probably the nearest thing to homemade ice cream that you can buy in Cornwall. Based in Newlyn, it grew out of a dairy business run by Jim Glover's grandfather before the Second World War, which delivered local milk and other dairy products in and around the town. Relish Jelberts' ice cream while you can: Jim Glover may be the last generation to run this business. Open Easter - October. More »

St Michael's Mount
This local landmark looks like something straight out of a fairytale; a medieval castle perched on top of a little tidal island, complete with cobbled streets and even its own harbour and gardens. At low tide, 'the Mount' can easily be reached on foot from Marazion town by way of a man-made granite causeway. Wait for high tide to take the lazy option and go by ferry. If you've got time to kill while you wait, you can enjoy the view across Mount's Bay with a pint in hand at The Godolphin Arms near the ferry departure point. More »

Carn Euny Ancient Village
Imagine what life was like as an Iron Age villager. Budding archaeologists will love exploring this ancient, yet well-preserved settlement, which is thought to have thrived from the Iron Age until late Roman times. Carn Euny is probably best-known for its well-preserved fogou (Cornish for 'cave'), an underground passageway over 20 metres long. Fogous are intriguing structures and no one really knows what they were used for. Experts say they may have been used for storage, habitation or rituals, but their true purpose remains a mystery. Dare yourself to enter and make your own mind up. To get there, take the A30 past Penzance towards Land's End, turn right at Drift, then left before Sancreed, park at Brane and follow the footpath. Entry is free. More »
