About this deal

Good to know: Prepare for lots of walking. Sensible shoes are a must. It can also be quite windy here, so dress warm. How much time do you need: Unless you plan to spend time shopping or visiting the small theme park, you really only need an hour or two to see Land’s End. However, in combination with the scenic drive and many nice stops along the way, you could make a nice day trip visiting the area. Fun fact: Port Isaac’s Squeezy Belly Alley is said to be among the narrowest streets in the country!

The interiors are affluent, yet unassuming. Tours provide glimpses into two sides of life in Victorian Britain, visiting both the lavish main family areas and the staff quarters. Peek into grand reception rooms and bedrooms, wander through kitchens and nurseries, and see where servants used to sleep. En route to Truro, stop at the Punchbowl and Ladle for classic British pub grub and small plates before continuing your journey. You can also stroll along the pretty shingle beach. Pretty at all times of the year, Port Isaac is especially charming in the warmer months. Due to the high volume of traffic on Cornwall's roads during the summer months the main routes can become congested especially at weekends. Travelling overnight or outside peak rush hours is recommended to avoid long delays. Liverpool: Best Things to Do in Liverpool& Day Trip from London to Liverpool& The Beatles Liverpool

The third day of the Cornwall road trip offers the dramatic Lizard Peninsula and pretty Penzance. Lizard Peninsula Covering around 200 acres, the serene gardens are home to many species of plants and lots of attractive features like lakes, slopes, historic paintings, and ornaments. Don’t miss seeing the Mud Maid and Giant’s Head, two large figures made from stones and plants. Don’t miss King Arthur’s Great Halls in the village itself (the stained glass window is incredible) and the fitter of you must make the walk up to St Materiana’s Church, which stands proudly on the headland overlooking the Castle and the breathtaking views out to sea.

Coming down the North Coast, the A39 (also known as the Atlantic Highway) is good for access to Bude, Wadebridge and Padstow, and all the lovely north coast beaches. It continues onto Truro and eventually Falmouth. At the present time (June 2023) work is still on-going to dual a long stretch of the A30 heading west towards Redruth and Camborne. This will hopefully do away with summer traffic jams as you head towards the far west, St Ives and Penzance. Experience the changing of the seasons in the lovely sub-tropical gardens, with ancient rhododendrons and fragrant magnolias taking centre stage in spring and the huge leaves of the giant rhubarb making a striking impression in the summer. Built half on the jagged cliffs of the mainland and half in a rugged promontory, you’ll find the atmospheric remains of Tintagel Castle on Cornwall’s north coast. Tintagel Castle bridge connects the two dramatic areas.The idyllic town of St Ives is located on a narrow peninsula in the Celtic sea. It has some of the best beaches in the world! In fact, there are four beaches within walking distance of the town, with Porthmeor being especially popular with surfers. How long do you need? You can take in The Lizard’s highlights in half a day, though you’re sure to want to stay longer!

One of Cornwall’s most popular tourist towns, Padstow lies on the county’s north coast. The gorgeous harbour is a gathering place for locals and visitors alike, where people can watch the fishing boats, fish for crabs, and enjoy a meal in one of the waterside eateries. How much time do you need: Allow 1 to 2 days, particularly if you plan to cycle the Trail (you can rent a bicycle in Padstow for the day). Cornwall has several National Trust properties including the Levant Mine & Beam Engine on the cliff tops not far from Land's End. Open all year round, the combination of indoor and outdoor spaces makes this a top place no matter the weather. Best of all, Heartlands is completely free to visit. If you’re not traveling with kids, June is the best month to visit – the weather is mild and sunny, attractions are open and beach days are a real possibility, but there are a lot fewer people around.
