Places to go in Cornwall-suggestions please

[souljacker]

Porthcurno is cool, with the Minack theatre and the telegraph musuem.

Its a lovely beach too, and just up the road is the seven sisters standing stones.

There are some really nice places between newquay and penzance.

Going from newquay->penzance

Bedruthen (sp?) steps is a well impressive cliff with an enourmous staircase going down it to a crazy beach.

Portcothan (sp?) has a nice camping place on a strawberry farm (and a nice beach too)

Treannon (sp?) bay is great and has camping a decent pub and a nice beach. It even has a natural tidal swiming pool in the rocks.

Constantine bay is one long stretch of white sand and sand dunes. 5 minutes walk from treannon and sharing the same campsite

Harlyn bay I'm not so familiar with

And then you hit penzance.

There are busses (although infrequent) between all of them.

Rosudgeon cove is lovely, although a bit of a hike across fields etc to get to. Normally deserted, it has fabulous deep rock pools and ledges for sunning on.

take a walk along the beach at Perranporth, returning for a pint in the watering hole, located on the beach, before taking the coast path to St Agnes, catching a bus back to perran to pick up your car.

Is that what used to be (when I lived there) the Blue Bar? Or is that the one in Porthtowan? Always get confused with those two. Either way - lovely little beach side bar in one of those two places

Blue Bar is Porthtowan.

Thank you very much for all the great ideas and suggestions. As well as Newquay we went to St Ives, Porthcurno and the Minack theatre, Mousehole, Penzance, Marazion and a million other fishing villages whose names escape me Lovely holiday.

Emmets

Correct - the word Emmets comes from the cornish word for ants

no it's English colloquially used by the Cornish.

St Agnes is lovely (a small town with a beach & lots of decent pubs - the St Agnes Hotel also has good food).

I'd also recommend the Lost Gardens of Heligan.
