Places to Visit
Kelynack is ideally situated for the many beaches and coastline in West Penwith, Far West Cornwall.
Beaches
Sennen Cove is a wonderful surfing beach. The coastline from here round to St Ives is rugged and dramatic, steeped in the history of Cornwall's mining past.
St Ives has a fabulous stretch of sand, and other places to visit include the Tate Gallery and the artist community.
Porthgwarra, Porthcurno and Porthchapel are all good small beaches in the West Penwith area.
Coastline
The coastline around the whole of West Penwith is spectacular, weather worn into coves and caves, cliffs and headlands, by the relentless sea. Take a drive around the coast road,
visiting many places on route including Lamorna Cove, Land's End, Cape Cornwall and Levant. From Levant, walks along the South West Coastal path
in either direction, show the ruggedness of the coast, and views out to sea on a clear day.
For a special occasion, visit the Minack Theatre and see a performance with a difference in the open air theatre. Visit the
Minack Theatre website for further details.
Historic and Pre-historic
There are many ancient sights in Cornwall. In West Penwith there are ancient settlements like those at Carn Euny and Chyauster, stone circles like
the Merry Maidens, standing stones and quoits. Further away but still in Cornwall are mystical sights such as Tintagel, and castles built to protect
Cornwall like those at Pendennis, St Mawes, Restormel and Launceston.
Gardens
There are many gardens to visit in Cornwall. Those belonging to the National Trust are Trengwainton, Glendurgan, Trellisick and Cotehele.
Further afield, visit the gardens at Trebah, Trevarno which also houses the National Museum of Gardening, Trewithen and Caerhays.
And no stay in Cornwall would be complete without a visit to the Eden Project and The Lost Gardens of Heligan.
