Dan and Annie’s ‘must see’ list

Beautiful and accessible for all. If you fancied a bit of a day out, you can either walk or cycle down the track that starts at the ‘Fairground Car Park’ and ends at Loe Bar.

It’s a must see seaside town just 5 minutes drive from the cottage. Loads of amazing art galleries, scenic town walks and the best pub - the Ship Inn.

A young, arty, studenty, harbour side town with loads going on. It’s the perfect spot for mooching around in the day... try Gylly beach cafe, Falmouth Maritime museum & the Poly. It’s also home to some top bars (check out Toast, Beerwolf, Small ships, Chainlocker & Chintz to name a few) for some evening partying.

Now this is a classic spot for places to go in Cornwall. But be warned, it’s very busy and extremely hard to park. But if you don’t mind that, it’s worth it. Loads of galleries, beautiful white sand beaches, and pasty shops. Another warning ⚠️ watch out for the seagulls, they will happily swoop down and take pasties and ice creams from your hands and even your mouth!! They have no fear and can be quite agressive.
