Jelberts Ices (3.5 miles)
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.

Portheras Beach (4.2 miles)
A wonderful sandy beach on the wild stretch of coast between Pendeen Lighthouse and Morvah. The walk down means it remains less crowded than many other beaches in the area and is a favourite with the locals. There are no amenities here so we recommend you pack a picnic. Park either at Pendeen Lighthouse at the western end of the beach, or continue through Pendeen and turn off just before the village of Morvah to park in the field carpark and walk down the path next to the farm. Both ways involve about a 25 minute walk, but it is well worth it.

Start at Pendeen Watch Lighthouse for a spectacular coastal walk through some of Cornwall's old mining district. The coast path hugs dramatic cliffs for about three miles to Cape Cornwall, England's only cape and the point at which the Atlantic currents split. If you're feeling energetic, extend your walk another four miles or so along the coast to the beautiful sandy beach at Sennen. Look out for seals and sea birds along your way.

Carn Euny Ancient Village (4.8 miles)
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.

St Michael's Mount (4.9 miles)
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.
