If you go to Cornwall you have to do some of the coastal footpath walks, take in a pub for lunch on the way (or probably better, at the end). Hopefully you'll get some decent weather so you can chill out on some nice beaches, have a bbq on the beach and watch the sun set. The Eden project is worth a visit although a bit of a drive, the 9 yr old might love it or might think it's naff.... There are the lost gardens of Heligan nr St Austell too. Eat some fish and chips, eat as many pasties as you can (but ask a local for somewhere good - the bad ones are rank), if you like cream have loads of cream teas. I would avoid the bigger towns, e.g. Falmouth, stick to the smaller places, lands end itself is a complete eye sore if you ask me, but the beaches and small towns around it are lovely, you sometimes see dolphins around Sennen. The Minack theatre is lovely and cheap, but you have to book early if its busy, lovely walks around it on the coast and a great beach just next to it (Porthcurno). Polperro, Fowey, Mevagissey, Mousehole are all lovely little towns to visit (some a bit of a drive from Mullion though). The Lizard is also nice, actually it all is! Enjoy!

No-one suggested Tintagel - home of Arthur's castle and Merlin's caves, and a wonderful Arthurian museum (if you're into that sort of thing). And although a couple of people mentioned the Eden Project, no-one described it. Basically, it's a series of bio-domes. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eden\_Project](<a href=)[^]"> My fave coast walk was between Looe and Polperro, but there are so many! Launceton is a nice city with a wall and a castle. Can't think of anything more that hasn't been said already.

Thank you all for all the suggestions. I am will definitely give a few of them a try, although one week will not be enough to check them all out. I am actually looking forward to this trip more than some of the foreign holidays I have been on in the past!
