Eden Project

It's difficult to come to Cornwall without hearing about the iconic Eden Project. Developed from a disused clay pit in the 1990s, the visitor attraction near St Austell attracts around one million people every year.

It's easy to spend a whole day exploring the two stunning biomes with their impressive collection of rare plants and wildlife, before relaxing in the cafe and getting some retail therapy in the well-stocked giftshop.

Levant Mine, West Cornwall

It's easy to imagine the sights, sounds and smells of Cornwall's historic mining heritage when you visit this original 1840s copper and tin mine.

The stunning scenery of West Cornwall's Botallack and Levant was the backdrop to the BAFTA award winning TV series, Poldark. We can't guarantee Ross will be in residence during your visit but his absence will at least give you a chance to enjoy the natural scenery without getting too distracted.....
