Got nothing but love for the guys at Cornish Rock Tors!…read more We undertook an introduction to Coasteering - all 15 of us - as part of my friend's stag weekend in Cornwall. Hungover, broken and nauseous, we arrived on Polzeath Beach to meet the reps. Wesuits, lifejackets and helmets were distributed and we hopped in the cars for a 15 min drive to our jump off point. If you've never been coasteering before, as I hadn't, I thoroughly recommend it! There guys were excellent with the safety details and encouraged to us to jump off huge cliffs into the swell and sea below. Sound fun? No? Well it is. A great adrenaline burst and impressive fun. We clambered across rocks, swam into rocky channels and floated as human rafts in the ocean. Highly Recommended.

My family and I recently completed a 4 day bespoke tour of Cornwall. We're Americans and this was…read moreour first time in Cornwall. I have to say, this was a terrific trip. The routes planned by Cornish Cycle Tours were spectacularly beautiful with scenery changing every 1/2 day so we were never bored. The proprietor, Lanyon, was super accommodating to our desires for a slightly shorter trip than the standard web offerings. The bikes for hire were of good quality for going up the hills and dales of Cornwall. Plenty of places to stop and tour or just grab some fuel to push onward. Luggage always successfully transferred. Having been on Backroads and Butterfield and Robinson trips before, the Cornish routes were the equal if not superior at far less the price (that said, the hotels are adequate-to-good).

This was a long…read moreanticipated family trip for my two children (ages 22 and 19), my husband and myself, and our first time to Cornwall. The countryside is beautiful, though a bit hillier than expected. Lanyon outfitted us with hybrid bicycles adjusted to our sizes, helmets and paniers with tools. He also gave us written directions and map. Even though Cornish Cycle Tours is a small outfit, Lanyon took good care of us. He worked with us to adjust our tour after we discovered how difficult the terrain is. We're fairly fit, and it took us 6-7 hours to cycle 25 miles. We were expecting that it would take us more like 3-4 hours. Once we explained our desire to do more on our vacation than just ride our bicycles, Lanyon was very accommodating. He picked us up with the luggage in the morning, and dropped us midway to ride. We also chose to hike some days rather than ride. You should be familiar with the area and/or be a good map reader. We were constantly referring to the directions and map. It would have been helpful if mileage and topography was included. At our request, Lanyon purchased tickets to the Minack Theater in Porthcurno. We thoroughly enjoyed seeing "Canterbury Tales" and would rank it one of the best experiences from our trip. Cornish Cycle Tour's prices are reasonable, service is great. You can customize your tour to make it what you want.

A true Gem of a place. My family come here a lot. My sister also got married at Carbis Bay and then afterwards came here for some amazing wedding shots. Here is more info about it - Godrevy is at the far north-eastern end of three miles of golden sand stretching from Hayle. Owned by the National Trust, it takes the brunt of the Atlantic swell and is one of the more exposed beaches of the North coast. From buckets and spades on sunny summer days to classic rugged Cornish splendour on a stormy winter's day, Godrevy offers the ultimate outdoor experience. The sandy beach at Godrevy is connected to Gwithian beach at lower tides to create an impressive stretch of sand. Remember to check the time of high water. as hundreds of metres of sand all but disappear at high tide so don't get caught out. The beach terminates with a low rocky headland and the famous Godrevy lighthouse (of Virginia Woolfe's To The Lighthouse fame) on an island just off the coast. Godrevy Cafe, hidden amongst the dunes, provides drinks and snacks.. Given the right conditions the waves can be epic - long walling lefts and rights. It is also capable of holding a fair sized swell, up 8ft. However this doesn't mean you'll have an easy paddle out! The break is at it's best on a low tide where it can produce a fast hollow wave. It does work through the tide but becomes increasingly slopey and bouncy.

This has to be one of my favourite places to go in Cornwall and holds a special place in my heart…read more If you're visiting the area by car, you turn off the B3301 just outside Gwithian, drive up a gravel track which becomes a narrow tarmac road to a lower car park. If you have a National Trust card, you can continue up to the top car park (and out of season there are no restrictions). And if you're on foot, it's on the coastal path. When the tide's out, you can walk along the beach from Hayle or Gwithian Towans. Gwithian Sands is a fantastic beach, popular with surfers. Walk towards the lighthouse. There are various ways up from the beach to the top of the cliffs and you get fantastic views from up there. Look across the bay to St Ives, which always seems bathed in sunlight and across to Godrevy Lighthouse, which inspired Virginia Woolf to write 'To the Lighthouse' on her holidays in St Ives. It can be very windy up there, being so exposed, so take a windbreaker or coat, depending on the weather. If you're lucky, you may spot a seal in the waves.

This club is owned by The Office's David Brent. But you can't have everything. First-Hand Experience: After visiting the stadium in 04 and liking it, I came to see Argyle play in 07 and 11. What a wonderful experience. Brilliant team, amazing fans. I love watching them and I love the spirit of this team. They are an absolute top notch 5 star team to me with 5 star fans. Southern and Westernmost team in England too. Way down by the sea. Absolutely love it here. I've always loved Plymouth Argyle, I'm not really sure why. My concert down here was mediocre, and outdoor actually, and I haven't found any amazing food in the city. It might be because they play in bright green, or are an old seafaring port city (which is so romantic) and the former capital of the British Naval Fleet (which isn't really a good thing but w/e), and also that they had Olly as their manager (Ian Holloway) which is super fun. He even had the accent to match it. But my fave thing is that they play in bright green and they call this park Home. Literally. They've really fallen from grace, as recently as a few years ago they were flirting with the possibility of promotion to the Premier League and now they're languishing all the way down in the lowest tier. They were formed back in 1886. Very impressive. I've visited this stadium several times over many years and it always looks like a bigger deal than you'd think, probably because the team is such a big deal regionally. The nickname "The Pilgrims" should resonate with Americans, although it's pretty, um, Grim. The city of Plymouth is the largest to have never hosted Premier League/top division football. They're also the most southern and the most western club in the league. I'll give them 5 stars in the hope that it inspires them to rise back up where they belong. With a 17k capacity, they belong in a much higher league.
