Swimming
This seawater lido is fantastic, recently renovated with the addition of a hot pool (this needs to be booked well in advance). It's a brilliant suntrap, so perfect for sunbathing. The cafe has great food, but we love the cheesy chips after a swim! The cafe has also held regular food/takeaway evenings. Just a short walk away from the cottage.

Brilliant museum about the telegraph. Good for children too.
Theatre
An amazing outdoor theatre, sometimes dolphins, and even whales come to enjoy the performances! Take lots of layers because the evening performances get cold! If you have children there is excellent storytelling in the mornings, they can book up fast in the holidays so check the website.

An amazing gallery, with a superb view out to Portmeor beach. It's lovely to take a trip to St.Ives on the train from Penzance, it's a beautiful journey along the coast. If you do not like crowds the summer holidays is not a good time to visit.

Beautiful Godolphin, lovely garden and woodland walk. Take a picnic and relax under the shade of a big tree. There is a mud kitchen and a barefoot trail, which my children love. The house is occasionally open, as it is a holiday let most of the time. Home of the original Poldark.
