This open-air theatre is dramatically situated on the cliffs at Porthcumo, near Land's End, and hosts a season of plays and musicals from March to November.
Following a great scenic drive from St Ives past Zennor, St Just and Sennen Cove we arrived at the theatre. Luckily it was a stunning sunny day. The Covid precautions were well managed and the staff all had a friendly welcoming and positive attitude. The play was brilliant and the actors all very talented. The acoustics were amazing even when doing battle with a passing helicopter! The setting is magical - just make sure you have warm clothes and/or a rug as when the sun goes down, it does get a bit chilly.

Inspiring sea safari sailing trips aboard a ten metre catamaran, with the winners of the 2013 Responsible World Whale Watch Awards . A voyage on "Shearwater II" gives you the best opportunity to find the marine wildlife of south west Cornwall, including seals, porpoises, seabirds, dolphins, basking sharks and whales. All trips are fully guided with experienced and entertaining guides, who are trained educators. Shearwater II takes just 12 passengers and 2 crew, so you get a great view of the wildlife and the views without having to peer over other people. Please call or email to enquire. Fully licenced and insured NB please remember that sightings of specific species cannot be guaranteed and that we advertise this fact widely. Therefore the most useful and accurate reviews of our company rate us on the factors we can directly control e.g. customer service, politeness, ease of booking, quality of welcome and so on, rather than whether the reviewer saw the exact species they wanted. Marine Discovery is shut between November and March due to weather constraints and winter maintenance. If in doubt, call to check.

If you're visiting West Cornwall, be sure to come and take a tour with us! We are the UK's most westerly coasteering centre, and are spoilt with the awesome granite cliffs of the Lands End peninsula right on our doorstep. Come with Kernow Coasteering to explore the coastline up close and personal! Coasteering is the UK's fastest growing adventure activity and combines swimming, scrambling and jumping your way along the cliff-line, whilst exploring sheer ciffs, hidden caves and arches, as well as giving you a chance to see wildlife and experience the environment first hand. Coasteering is suitable for a wide range of abilities and ages, and is suitable for families, groups, individuals, parties, stage and hen dos and just about anyone else. So long as you can swim 50m in a swimming pool and have a reasonable level of fitness, you're ready to coasteer! Please note that children under 18 must be accompanied by an adult. Don't miss the chance to experience Cornwall in this truly unforgettable way!
Absolutely fantastic experience, Matt and his team were great and the route we took was superb. They made sure everyone was included regardless of ability and supported people who found coasteering a challenge enabling them to overcome their fears. My 15 year old who hates everything said it was the best thing he has done in years and by far and away the best thing about our holiday.

Opened in March 2016, Newlyn Filmhouse is becoming a popular place to visit. Positioned opposite the Coombe River, the building cuts into a steep granite bank, cleverly housing a two screen Cinema and spacious Cafe Bar. We recommend booking in advance for films, events and restaurant meals. The digital screens feature armchair and sofa style lumbar seating with a tiered layout. The top of the range projection equipment provides razor-sharp Barco DP2K8S digital viewing with audio via punchy 5.1 Dolby Sound Systems. As well as the best in mainstream and alternative cinema, offerings include live events, children's films and local titles. The fully licensed Cafe Bar upstairs is a great place to meet before or after a film, or pop into for a Monmouth coffee and a slice of cake. The seasonal menu provides freshly cooked delicious food, often chosen from the staff's favourite cookbooks. All fresh produce comes from within a half hour radius including fish from Newlyn Fish Company.
This is a small cinema with very high standards of comfort and service. We don't go often but always thoroughly enjoy the visit. Highly recommended.
