Food scene
Your trips begins on the sea; Catch a ferry from adjacent Custom House Quay. Do you prefer long walks or short walks? All are beautiful. There's not many shops here but enough to browse in a day filled with walking, beaching, eating & drinking (and there are some great places to eat & drink!)

You'll definitely need a car to get here but its such a lovely place to relax and enjoy some healthy food in large greenhouses. Very restorative! My favourite place to meet a friend!

Walking distance from us and a lovely walk it is too. A castle with history stretching from Tudor times to the world wars. Great views and room to stretch your legs. We recommend a visit to "Little Dennis Blockhouse" on the nearby point for a photo opportunity (you'll see why when you get there!) If you still have energy you can walk on along the sea front to Castle Beach and Gylly Beach. There's refreshments at both but if you want a sit down meal or bakery head to Gylly.

Take the ferry if you want to sit back and simply enjoy the scenery but we recommend you also head out there to enjoy the village and the walks. Drive carefully around the lanes; the beauty is a little distracting! For Daphne Du Maurier fans this is a must see.

Whats not to like? You can drive here to save your legs but arriving by ferry and walking up through the woods is amazing, although perhaps a challenge for some. You can enjoy the surrounding walks or pay to enter the property. Take a picnic or enjoy the cafe. One of our favourite places to go.

Lovely beach at Marazion from which to enjoy this fairy tale vision emerging from the sea. Walk the causeway at low tide or catch the boat at high tide. If you have come without a car, catch the train to Penzance then walk!
