Out & About in Cornwall

Cornwall is a wonderful county to visit throughout the year for your holiday, whether it's a holiday for the whole family or an out of season short break for two. Each season has its own special quality - the spring and summer for the colourful flowers and hedgerows and the beautiful safe and sandy beaches basking in the sunshine; and the autumn and winter is a magical time with bright, clear days, brisk coastal walks and dramatic stormy skies and seas.

Cornish History

With its colourful maritime and mining history, Cornwall has many stories to discover and the opportunities to explore the county from your Creekside Cottages holiday accommodation are tenfold. The Mineral Tramways project has championed the Portreath to Devoran coast to coast trail for walkers and cyclists - this area has one of the world's greatest and best conserved concentrations of historic mine buildings and contains unusual wildlife, some of which only thrives in mining landscape habitats.

Explore Cornwall

There's lots to do when you visit Cornwall on holiday whether you wish to get on the water, walk the coastal path, visit local attractions (like the National Maritime Museum Cornwall, Pendennis Castle or The Eden Project), or simply visit a stunning beach, make sandcastles and relax. Please explore the pages of attractions, walks, eating out, activities, sailing and watersports and gardens - each providing information on good places to visit or eat out or activities to try. We would be delighted to help if you require information on a specific activity that we may not have covered.

Things to Do

Whatever the time of year you decide to visit Cornwall, there is always something happening that makes Cornwall special....Flora Day in Helston, Obby Oss in Padstow, Trevithick Day in Camborne and, of course, many sailing events and regattas that provide fun for all the family throughout the summer season.

Sandy beaches, buckets and spades, sailing boats, quiet coves, rugged cliffs, great walks, wild flowers, luscious gardens, winding lanes, pub lunches, crab fishing, spectacular views - Cornwall has it all.

Just choose your holiday cottage and come and relax - we have holiday cottages by the water and in the heart of pretty Cornish villages, and we are happy to pass on our local knowledge and experience to help in your choice.
