3. Gwennap Pit

Reviewed By Jellybellydancer - Burscough, United Kingdom
We love seeking out slightly less obvious attractions and Gwennap Pit was well worth negotiating the small country lanes to find. I knew the Visitor's Centre would be closed as we were visiting during October half term, but while we were reading the information boards outside, somebody came out of the indoor chapel and asked if we'd like to see inside before she locked up. It was absolutely charming, with only enough seating for about a dozen people, the tiniest chapel I've ever seen and still in use. Gwennap Pit itself is really unique; formed when an old mine collapsed, it now stands as a memorial to the Methodist movement after John Wesley preached there and declared it "The most magnificent spectacle this side of Heaven". We were the only visitors and took our time walking around each of the 12 'rings', apparently when full, it will hold 1500 people. It was a real highlight of our trip to Cornwall.

Most people travel to Cornwall for the beaches and coastline granted. Stithians however is a hidden gem. A lovely walk with or without the dogs. Water activities, a nice cafe, pub lunch, campsite , kids park ,something for everyone. Now I live in Glossop derbyshire close to the Woodhead, Snake pass and Peak district , with Derwent not far away. That said this is a beautiful location that has everything you could want , mother nature at it's best. Come visit, camp and enjoy. I visit this area three ,four times a year and when this dam Covid is behind us , I'll be back. Stay safe . Tom D from glossop

Since we first visited in 2012, we've been back on average twice a year for various presents for the wife, kids, friends etc. It's a lovely little "village" with a jewellery shop making fine jewellery, a pearl shop where you can pick your own oyster and retrieve the pearl within, a build-a-bear workshop, a craft shop, a museum, krazy golf, panning for "gold" for the kids and a cafe and a hamper shop full of locally produced goods. It's a lovely little place and enough there to keep you for at least half a day. The jewellery is lovely and we've bought lots of different pieces over the years, given some as presents and they are always warmly received. The fact that they are still wearing them 7yrs on is testament to the quality.
