Bellogas Farm Camping

Just arrived? Newlyn (five minutes' drive) is as good a place to start as any. This small seaside spot has a beach, harbour and is home to Jelbert's, a family-run ice cream shop that's renowned throughout these westernmost reaches of Cornwall. Mousehole (10 minutes) has similar simple pleasures, with the added bonus of views overlooking nearby St Clement's Isle. Marazion – and St Michael's Mount just offshore – (both 20 minutes) are two more absolute musts when visiting this part of the county… just keep an eye on the tides if you're planning on walking over the causeway. For cultural entertainment, there's the spectacular Minack Theatre close by too (20 minutes), as well as the amusements and model village at Land's End (15 minutes) if you're looking for family-friendly. History and heritage abound in this part of Cornwall too – PK Porthcurno, a museum about the role this part of the world played in the birth of wireless technology, is about 20 minutes away, while much more ancient sights like the Merry Maidens stone circle (10 minutes) and Carn Euny (15 minutes) are similarly accessible.
