We're going here 13th August and was wondering if anyone who has stayed around Hayle/St Ives have had any good days out anywhere.  We have 3 teenagers 13-17 and are looking for a few days out, (but son is determined to learn some surfing too). Has anyone been to Lands End recently? I was 16 when I last went, so it has got a bit more commercialised since then I believe.

This site should give lots of info.

http://www.theguide-cornwall.com/

Tourist Information Offices should have copies of this booklet. Cornwall Guide to the quality attractions 06

A couples of boat trips worth considering - Truro [Malpas] to Falmouth and Falmouth to St Mawes. Scilly Isles by boat or helicoptor from Penzance. Lands End is expensive to park - try leaving your car at Sennen and using the cliff walk round to LE - very spectacular and FREE.

Enjoy your Holiday

We were at Gwithian at half term. Had a fab day doing St. Michael's Mount in the morning and then doing a mackerel fishing trip from Penzance in the afternoon. Caught over 80 fish. Really exciting! Booked the fishing trip in advance using a leaflet we saw at the campsite. Your teens would love it although quite pricey.

flambards is from what i remember worth a visit.

there is a cycle hire in the area. catch the park and ride train to st ives.

falmouth nice harbour beach shops. castle, or have a boat trip.

hayle has a good tourist information have a look for some other ideas from them.

and if its sea and surf take a run up to newquay teenagers just love it there.

Hi,  I tried to book at Gwithian Farm but they were fully booked :(

Lands End has changed since you last visited and is worth a look, more attractions etc.

As to learning to surf I suppose this depends on the sea conditions, but Im sure if you phone Gwithian Farm before your arrival, they will give you all the info/contact details for suitable/registered tutors/schools.

I would love to hear your comments on this campsite after your visit?  My husband & I have managed to book 5 nights at 'Little Trevarrack' commencing fromthe 12/0/06.

All the best!

Thanks for all your replies. 

Have already looked at Flambards and looks a great day out and as my daughter and I work for Asda it's one of their benefits so get in for £6 each, and with my deal vouchers from Tesco's it'll cost us a £1 for all of us to get in. RESULT!

Looking forward to going back to St Ives too!

I will do a review on return, but looking at the one on there already I don't think we are going to be disappointed.

How about the Goonhilly satelite place.  Is that any good? Also off to Gwithian on the 13th.

Just back from Helston. Took the oldies, our 16 year old son and his friend. Spent most of our time on Gwithian Beach - dropping the boys off for surfing and then had a couple of hours off exploring. Zennor is a lovely little place.

 I would give Goonhilly a miss, very little there. As for Hayle and area I have been going there every year for near on 45 years. Although we holiday at different locations around the country I never fel like I have had a proper holiday untill I have been to Cornwall.                      Am I sad or what !!!
