Cornwall suggestions??
-
I am going to Cornwall(Mullion) next week for the first time with the kids (9 year old girl and two yr old boy)has anyone got some reccomendations of what to check out while we are there?
Lands End/The Lizard/Newquay/Mousehole/Eden Project/Flambards/Penzance (The Dolphin Pub does great cake)/Lamorna Cove/Jamaica Inn (on the way)/Bodmin. Lots of different things to do and see, depends on the attitude of the kids and their interests. Porthcurno is the home of the World Wide Web, it started there in 1870's! Also Falmouth is nice with lots to see and do.

Yes, I live about 5 miles away. :) Go to the Lizard, go to Helston Flora Day (Friday May 8th), try to dodge the Emmets (no offence ;)).

Emmets = Cornish slang for tourists, not meant kindly! Flambards at Helston is that sort of thing, there may be others near Newquay X| but as they are anathema to me I don't keep track of them. Depends what you're into really, if you like scenery then just about anywhere on the coast is good, if you like tourist places then Looe, Newquay X|, Eden Project :mad:. Land's End has scenery and rides for the kiddies so could please everyone.

Personally, the first and last place I would visit would be the first Cider Farm I see.
My failometer is detecting vast quantities of FAIL! "Its SQL - hardly programming..." (Caslen)
Well there's one a few miles from Mullion so he'll be OK for cider.

Everything I know about Cornwall I learnt from "The Famous Five". Full of Smugglers you know! Also My friend is shown in a life sized picture at Land's End, Naked and Rambling!

Newquay is so developed and touristy that it's not considered part of Cornwall any more...and don't get me started on Eden. :mad: X| :mad: X| :mad: X|

Steve, you missed the point, Pompey is going to be one of your hated Emmets, only a local hates tourists.
