subject: Seeing The Gems Of Cornwall By Car [print this page] Cornwall has long been one of the most popular UK destinations for people of all ages. With a dramatic and pulsating coastline, an exciting and vibrant culture and food to die for, Cornwall really does have something for everyone. Moreover, it is a great place to explore by car, which is perfect if you're travelling on a budget. Let's take a look at some of Cornwall's most popular destinations to visit...
Truro
Cornwall's towns and villages are many and varied, but Truro is perhaps the most well known. It is Cornwall's 'capital' and serves as the centre for trade and commerce. This is the place to visit if you like shopping; Truro's attractive Georgian streets mix popular high street stores with small independent specialist shops. Lemon Quay is the hub for hardcore shoppers and it holds some of the finest markets in all of Cornwall; the place to go to bag yourself a bargain!
Newquay
Newquay is where you want to be heading if you love beaches. It is a great place to try surfing due to the large waves and some of the world's best surfers battle it out in the frequent competitions at Fistral beach. If surfing's not your thing then try Great Western or Tolcarne beaches for some frothy family fun. Newquay has become notorious for its nightlife and it is not uncommon to see stag parties and hen parties flooding the huge range of bars and nightclubs. Don't let this put you off though, Newquay has some of the finest restaurants in the whole of the UK.
Land's End
Land's End is the most westerly point of mainland Britain and possibly it's most well known and iconic landmark. Visitors to Land's End get to gaze out across the Atlantic to Longships Lighthouse, the Isles of Scilly, and beyond that you can imagine the landmass of America. Land's End has a hotel, children's playgrounds and speciality shops to keep you entertained. Land's End truly is worth a visit to if for nothing but the memorising view that it provides.
These are just a few of Cornwall's must-see destinations. Cornwall is a myriad of delightful towns and villages which all have their own charming characteristics. Visit Cornwall by car, stopping off at some of its world class hotels along the way, waking up to a new view every morning. Just make sure your tax and car insurance is sorted, strap the kids in and off you go!
