Roskilly's Ice Cream makers (nr St Keverne).  Free Entry.

Cornish Camels. Between Goonhilly & St Keverne.  Free Entry.

Seal Sanctuary at Gweek (Pay to get in)

Lizard (National Trust) - for a walk.  Lighthouse might be open.

Beaches at Kennock Sands (Car park at the bottom - v. narrow road - always space in car park when we have been) & Kynance Cove (National Trust Car Park and then a bit of a walk).

....... that's a start anyway.  Best pub  from Chy Carne is probably the one in Lizard village.  Not keen on the one near the beach shop, close to Chy Carne. 

Flambards at Helston might be expensive.

I seem to remember there's a chocolate factory somewhere, but it's just a quick in and out visit.

Healey's Cider Farm (FREE) - that may to too far up near Perranporth.

St Michael's Mount (National Trust).

Goonhilly Earth Station is now closed.

Remember that the Free places come with a hidden price - not many would go to Healey's without buying cider or Roskilly's without getting some ice cream.

Glad you've got sorted with a pitch.  Never been to Chy Carne, but it looks good.  Not been as our visits to Cornwall usually correspond with the UKCS meet, which I think we might find a little too much for us - we tend to like a quiet time!!   

Hi T,

Not sure if you shop at Tesco's but if you do, you can use the clubcard deals to pay  for tickets to Flambards, Seal Sanctuary at Gweek, Maritime Museum at Falmouth and the Eden Project!

Hope this helps, or should I say Every Little Helps!

Nicky

We spent a week at Chy carne last year and went to lands End, it was very misty that day so walked to end, had a picture argued about not wanting to see Dr who exhabition then went to St Michaels Mount as the sun had come out.

We loved St Michaels mount as you can park just behine the beach for about £3 all day. We've got national trust membership so went up the mount.

Did an evening at Lizard point and watched the sun go down - NT parking there too.

Helston is a nice little town with some little shops Peacocks if you've forgotten swiming shorts and a nice park at the bottom of the hill.

We enjoyed a day at St Mawes going over on the little ferry made it more interesting.

With the ukcampsite meet we had discount for a few places such as banger racing, cream teas which were very nice but i can't remember the name of the place, but it wasn't far from campsite.

If going to St Ives is it best to park at ... saltings and catch the train in on a day ranger ticket.
