Absolutely phenomenal value for money and wonderful way to spend a few hours. We visited the brewery on a rainy Tuesday with very little expectation and were delighted to find a warm and friendly staff to greet us with a pint awaiting. The quality of the beer is beyond reproach and both the tour guide Louise (the daughter of the CEO no less) and the barman, Jason were flawless. By far the best value for money of any distillery or brewery tour I have ever done. Cannot recommend enough.

My Little Sweet-pea offers a lovely service for 'Mums to be'. Come to My Little Sweet-pea for a 2-3 hour bump painting session where I will transform your beautiful bump into an amazing work of art. You can have any design you can think of. I will also take photographs and email them over to you.. or I work along side some very talented photographers who can extend your session into a professional shoot. I can travel within Cornwall or you can come to mine! I also paint at baby-showers and offer discounts if I paint more than one 'Mummy to be' at at time.

Philleigh Way is a cookery school based in south Cornwall that also offers unique dining experiences. Bordering the river Fal with the ocean a few miles away this balanced landscape of arable fields, pasture and ancient oak woodland is an inspirational place to learn about food and its provenance. The cookery school is run by brothers-in-law James Martin and chef George Pascoe who belongs to the fifth generation of Pascoes to hail from Court Farm, Philleigh, Cornwall. Their Next Generation Farmhouse Cookery style is inspired by recipes handed down over the generations, fantastic local produce and experience gained working in some of the top kitchens in Cornwall and around the globe. Their creativity, knowledge and enthusiasm make it the perfect place to reconnect with the land and sea, learn some old and new recipes and cook with some of the freshest seasonal ingredients Cornwall has to offer.
From the moment you arrive in unspoiled, beautiful, rural Philleigh you just know you are going to experience cooking with a difference. It is surrounded by an abundance of woodlands and the local produce is exceptional quality. When I drove up to cookery school, the smell of the outside smoking (catering size) bbq was such a welcome addition!!! I knew straight away that the south east asian cooking class was going to be a memorable one. Having recently done a cookery course with Jamie Oliver and Waitrose in central London, Philleigh Cookery School is up there with a wealth of modern dishes and incredible talent. Rupert is eager to share with you all his worldly culinary knowledge and give great tips that are game-changers in the kitchen. Rupert has an incredible range of knowledge not only about every food known to man, (galangal is now a staple at home) but also about Cornwall itself. I would highly recommend taking a weekend Philleigh Cookery Course, all the dishes I made there have somehow worked their magic into so many of my usual dishes too. I am now fully stocked with tips and new gadgets that are not just gathering dust!!!

Tregony Gallery is an artist-run gallery with an impressive roster of distinguished British and international contemporary artists. Based in the ancient village of Tregony, Cornwall, the gallery enjoys a fine reputation as both an established local landmark and a vibrant online space. Gallery owners Brian and Judi Green seek to celebrate distinctive observational painting and artists who possess something different in the way they see and interpret the world. Maintaining a close bridge between Cornwall and London, Brian and Judi share their vision of curating and collecting art through an exciting programme of on-site exhibitions, catalogues and featured works on their popular Instagram account. All the work is available to discover, choose and purchase in the gallery, online, via Instagram and the website. The gallery offers a bespoke service to individuals including art consultancy, curating, framing and shipping.
I’ve been following this wonderful gallery after seeing it on Facebook last year and I’m impressed by the quality and range of Artists they represent and how they show the artwork. Yesterday I received a fabulous self-portrait by the late artist Jason Bowyer, beautifully and securely packaged, after only 48 hours of purchasing. All at a distance of 323 miles. I was able to confidently order my first ever online piece of Fine Art due to the exceptional quality of the images on, and the layout of, their website. The entire experience was first class from start to finish and I would highly recommend the personal service of Brian and Judi online. I am making a visit to this gallery a high priority this coming summer.

We attempted the Nocturnal Alchemist and, by some quirk of fate managed to escape with 5 mins to spare (suspect luck played its part). Great location, superb set up and will mis-direct you at will; perfect! The team running the site are very friendly and helpful; decent price too.

This round stone artillery fortress was built for Henry the Eighth in 1542, using a cloverleaf plan with a four-storied round tower. Take the free audio tour to discover life at the castle during the Civil War and explore the castle and grounds with its stunning views out to sea. Child friendly and dog friendly.
Set just outside St Mawes this castle built on behalf of Henry VIII was intended to stop invaders and pirates from invading the upper reaches of the river estuary. Later the French and then Germans were the main threat and so this castle and Pendennis Castle on the other side of the Estuary controlled these waters with their artillery for many years. There are many steps and the castle is structured over a number of layers to provide gun platforms for controlling that side of estuary. Lots of hand rails and safety guards. Excellent toilet facilities and shop run by English Heritage. Lots of benches for sitting and admiring the views and ideal for picnics.
