Boscastle is an amazing place, near Tintagel. And Padstow.

Re: what to see in cornwall?
The Eden Project is well worth a visit but also check out online if KNEEHIGH Theatre Company have their ASYLUM set up. It's a temporary theatre which is absolutely worth enjoying as is Minack. If the weather is kind any beach is as good as it gets.

Hi
If you're going to go way down to West Cornwall, Zennor is fab and there's a great walk along the cliffs from Zennor to St Ives.
The Minack Theatre is wonderful and Treen Farm campsite is quite near and used to be very good. I've not been for many years as have moved to Scotland but I have many happy memories of camping at Treen.
I also need to plug St Ives (was born there) but the parking in the summer is a nightmare.
Have a great trip I'm very jealous.
