Cornwall Tourist Attractions

With every type of attraction that you could think of, you'll never be short of interesting and exciting places to visit in Cornwall.

The unique and inspiring Minack Theatre on the cliff edge at Porthcurno in Cornwall has won the TravelMail award for the Best Day Out in the national Enjoy England Awards for Excellence 2009.

There are stunning historical sites maintained by the National Trust and English Heritage, such as Lanhydrock House and Pendennis Castle. Or if you're looking for somewhere for children to let off steam try Crealy Great Advenutre Park or Dairyland Farm World, which both have a wealth of outdoor attractions plus big indoor play areas should the weather take a turn for the worst.

Cornwall has some of the best to visit anywhere on the British mainland due to Cornwall's mild climate, plus the internationally renowned Eden Project.

We have national galleries and museums such as The Tate St Ives and the National Maritime Museum Cornwall at Falmouth. And with our coastal location, marine attractions such as the National Seal Sanctuary at Gweek and Blue Reef Aquarium at Newquay are well worth a visit.

Whatever your age and interests, you can find plenty of suitable places to visit in Cornwall.
