Places To Visit in West Cornwall

Trebah Garden

16 August 2026

There's sub-tropical lushness around every corner at this stunning garden on the banks of the Helford River. The views from the 18th Century house across the garden to the river are not to be missed. Wend your way through camellia groves and chusan palms, woodlands and bamboo; meander alongside pools and streams, giant-leafed gunnera and hydrangeas, to emerge onto Trebah's private beach. Perfect for a swim and a picnic in summer. Not picnic weather? Head to the award-winning Trebah Kitchen or have a browse in the gift shop and plant centre. One of Cornwall's, if not England's, finest gardens.

St Michael's Mount

10 August 2026

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.

Minack Theatre

6 July 2025

The Cornish theatre with real wow' factor is the Minack. Perched on the cliffs at Porthcurno, the Minack is an open-air theatre-in-the-round – and a triumph of vision over reality.

Tremenheere Sculpture Gardens

25 June 2024

Welcome to one of Cornwall's newest major attractions. A fabulous place positioned in a sheltered valley with woodland and streams creating a backdrop to sub-tropical plants and contemporary art installations. The Lime Tree Cafe offers freshly prepared, homemade meals and is open all day for drinks, snacks and meals.

Cape Cornwall

5 August 2023

There is something truly magical about this place, the walk around the Cape has breathtaking views in all directions. In summer, there's a refreshment kiosk nearby, or pack up a picnic to enjoy at this stunning spot.

Roskilly's

20 October 2020

Taste life on a working organic Cornish farm. Walk the ponds, feed the ducks, watch the cows being milked and then indulge with some of the best ice cream in the county. The cream teas are pretty good too! During the summer months you can enjoy delicious pizza.

Carn Euny Ancient Village

18 September 2017

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.

Geevor Tin Mine

Up until 1990, Geevor was still a working mine. These days you can explore underground, visit mine buildings, walk around the area and see the museum.
