More about these ideas

A lot of the best of Cornwall costs nothing: harbours and quays, headlands and viewpoints, coast path walks, woods and nature reserves, old churches and a handful of free museums. Everything here is free to visit, though some have a paid car park nearby.

Cornwall’s beaches are free too: see the Cornwall beaches map, and there are routes for every level on the Cornwall walks page. For wet days try the rainy day things to do, and for families the days out with kids.
