Cornwall is not just about beaches and coastline, although there is plenty on offer to walk along, sail around or walk along. Newquay is a surfer's paradise and a trendy resort for those looking to chill out rather than wipe out! At Tate Modern St Ives, wander amongst the cool galleries ofadmiring art works infused with the clear Cornish light so prized by artists.

Cornwall's rich relationship with the sea is celebrated in the Maritime Museum at Falmouth,and you can gaze across the water to America from Land's End, the far west point of the UK. Ever since Rick Stein opened his restaurants in Padstow, this quaint fishing port has been a haven for seafood lovers, but book any hotel in Cornwall and you'll never be far from a good fish restaurant. The surprise success story of Cornwall in recent years has been the fabulous Eden Project, a series of geodome environments set in a disused china clay pit. It is a fascinating and astounding achievement, and an absolute must-see on your visit to Cornwall.
