Things to do in Cornwall
Walking
Cornwall, with the longest coastline in Britain has so much to offer people who want to venture out and see the sites that Cornwall has on offer. Ancient paths, lanes and rights of ways that were established by the miners, fishermen and farm workers over the centuries, as well many remote moorland hikes and cliff top walks with stunning views.
Should you desire an exciting adventure or just a peaceful meander, you can find them all with a choice of 630 superb miles, and a lot more besides, on the South West Coast Path.
Here you can choose a walk that will suit your walking abilities and desires.
With the temperamental weather habits of Cornwall, a good pair of sturdy boots and an anorak are always an essential; but the weather is what keeps Cornwall's look and feel changing continually, so it's always quite exciting to revisit places that delighted you previously, or it will do should you come back. Don’t forget the camera for capturing the true delights when making your tracks!
Fishing
Fishing has always been the integral part of Cornish life, so it’s the ideal place to try and land some of Cornwall’s finest produce. Cornwall offers excellent trout, salmon, coarse and sea angling for everyone from beginners to advanced.
Cycling
Cycling in Cornwall is possible whether you've packed your bike or not. The Camel Trail, Wadebridge, is a very popular cycle path. It follows the line of a disused and resurfaced railway. It runs along the beautiful Camel estuary for 6 miles from Wadebridge to Padstow; and for the more adventurous, a further 8 miles to Bodmin. Bike hire is available both at the Wadebridge and Padstow ends. It is a fantastic way to see the surrounding wildlife.
Golf
Cornwall boasts a fine selection of golf courses to suit all tastes and pockets; from the truly outstanding championship courses at St. Mellion, to others with superb views such as the China Fleet Club, which offers a lot more than just golf should other members of your family need persuasion.
For families with children who aren't ready for the full golfing experience, Cornwall has plenty of crazy golf courses to excite all; or even if you are a serious golfer, there's time here to have some family fun.
