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.

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.

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.

NOW in Penzance and Truro! We are an exciting and interactive real-life escape game. With several themed rooms to choose from, you will have an unforgettable experience full of fun, adventure and intrigue. The goal is simple: race against time to find clues & solve puzzles. You have 60 minutes to escape the room using your mind, logic and teamwork. Every clue, key and code is there - just find them and use them!
We did the cold war room which was great fun and good for a large group. Clues came up on screen when requested which was better than someone having to come in. There were about 10 things you had to do to escape- much better than the ones which only have a few. This escape room involved more ‘exploring’ than some- lots of looking around and examining objects. Overall a great escape room with some clever clues.

Had a fabulous afternoon at Polgoon. Very welcoming and fun host, very knowledgeable about the wine making process and we just loved that it’s a family run business. Wine was amazing, and the fact that it’s all locally grown / sourced made it even more enjoyable. The tasting was informative and plenty of wine to taste. We had our dog with us who was also made very welcome. A brilliant place to visit if you’re in Cornwall.

Tremenheere Sculpture Gardens’ dramatic landscape, combined with large-scale exotic, sub-tropical planting, provides the backdrop to contemplative and inspiring art by internationally renowned artists. A major attraction near Penzance in West Cornwall, Tremenheere can be found in a beautiful sheltered valley, overlooking St Michael’s Mount, with woods and a stream, interwoven with an evolving programme of contemporary artwork. The creations of artists such as James Turrell, David Nash, Richard Long, Tim Shaw and Peter Randall-Page interact with the setting to create site-specific permanent work, which harmonises with the landscape.

A beautiful and very well-kept garden. It has many beautiful pieces of art and is both enjoyable for families, singles and couples alike. Apart from the beautiful plants and the great view of Mounts Bay, it is also a must to visit the very high-quality restaurant that is part of the garden which serves great food and really makes for a great ending after visiting the garden.
