A friend had suggested Cape Cornwall over Lands End for as good if not better views. I agree (as we did do a short stop at Lands End as well). This day was during the remnants of a hurricane so you got to see and feel nature right in your face. It is less accessible than Lands End, but there is not a tourist shop in sight, and that’s a good thing.

We walked from Mawgan Porth to Bedruthan Steps on a sunny November afternoon.It was quite an easy walk with spectacular views down to the sea below. However we were disappointed to find both the cafe and the steps down to the beach closed and there was no map which showed an alternative route (via the lane) back to Mawgan Porth where we were staying. We must return in the summer.

This preserved mining site features a museum, underground tour and visitor center all perched on the rugged cliffs of Penwith, offering magnificent coastal views high above the crashing surf below.

We were staying some way away, typical rainy weekend in the winter months and we were struggling to find somewhere to visit.
Absolutely fantastic, the ex miner guide was engaging and interesting, the locker rooms etc were a must see, like a time capsule!
Even the cafe was fairly priced with excellent food.

This was just the best day! The instructors give really clear precise instructions, and a fantastic relaxed fun atmosphere.You feel in really safe hands and with clear guidance, and constructive coaching , I was standing on my board by the end of my first session! My 11 year old loves it and now wants to surf every weekend. He found his passion, and as a mum I did too ! Being in the sea with a full work out is so restorative.I feel like a new person with all the stress of normal life washed away. Book yourself a session right now. You won’t regret it.

Just north of Land's End is England's most westerly beach, with good breaking surf for beginners.
Reviewed By Trewirgies - Redruth, England, United Kingdom
Very much an out of season visit - with only half a dozen cars in the huge car park. The tide was right out and we were surprised at how big the beach was.... but we had a great walk if blown by the wind and chilled by the showers. Great place to collect sea glass if you are a 'crafty-arty' beach goer. The scenery is quite different to our closer Beaches on the coast between Hayle and St Agnes and worth taking your camera!

Such a shame that cattle are grazing around this ancient monument. Poo everywhere, paths churned up and quite worrying if you have a dog. It was never like this before and so sad that the farmer needs money so badly to ruin this place.
7. Porthcurno

Reviewed By agill2407 - Bagshot, United Kingdom
You park by the Telegraph museum and then walk about 5 minutes down to the beach along some narrow steps onto this glorious beach. The water colour is like something from the Caribbean, except a damn site colder.
From memory there isn't any changing facilities but there is a beach cafe nearby. The beach is quite small, the other thing i should point out is that the beach drops away very sharply just a few feet out into the ocean so you will need to keep a lookout for little ones or not very strong swimmers
8. Minack Theatre

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 May to September.

A cold wet and windy March afternoon couldn't spoil the beauty of this place, an amazing story and a must see for anyone in the area, it's well worth the death defying drive and £5 entry fee1
9. Carn Euny Ancient Village

Reviewed By Rhiannon W - Worcester, United Kingdom
Mostly overlooked this well preserved village is brilliant to visit for anyone with a keen interest in history. The layout of the village is clear to see and the underground chamber can be easily reached by most people. The village can even be enjoyed in the mist!
I recommend sturdy footwear when visiting Carn Euny.

A local pub, well frequented by visitors too, with a good array of pub food on offer. Has been spruced up since my last visit two years ago but still a bit to do on décor inside. Once over that the food is well prepared and some of the specials are worth considering over the standard menu. It has all the quirkiness of a Cornish village pub and that has its own charm. We booked for a Sunday night meal, even though told it would not be a problem, to then be asked if we had booked when we arrived - get the drift. Staff pleasant and attentive particularly the young lad who waited on. Worth a visit for a drink to then decide if it is for you.
