Places to Visit near Cornwall Breaks 

A short break in Cornwall means you’re never far from breathtaking landscapes, charming villages, and iconic landmarks.  

If you are looking for something more tranquil, the picturesque fishing villages of Mousehole and Port Isaac provide narrow cobbled streets, harbour views, and fresh seafood delights. 

For history and legend lovers, Tintagel Castle is must-see. Perched on the rugged cliffs, this dramatic ruin is steeped in Arthurian myths and offers stunning views over the coastline. This is the perfect attraction to visit with the whole family during your Cornwall weekend break.  

Make St Ives a stop on your list, wander through the town's art galleries, including the Tate St Ives, before relaxing on one of its golden beaches. A classic fish and chips must be enjoyed here along the seafront, although look out for them dastardly seagulls.  

If you are into your outdoor sports, including surfing, then look no further than heading to Newquay. Known for having one of the best beaches for surfing in the UK, it brings people from across the country to enjoy these fantastic waves.
