Cornwall Holidays 2010

Cornwall Holidays

Well . . .its that time of year. All the excitement of Christmas has passed us by for another year and the optimism of New Year has come and gone so now we are left with another couple of months of hard winter, with its damp days, cold, dark evenings and not a lot to celebrate.

This is when we start to think ahead and anticipate the pleasures of the year that is yet to come and one of the BIG things we all look forward to is that wonderful summer holiday, or vacation, if you are from the other side of the Atlantic!

With the recession still gripping us by the nether regions and many people thinking about costs, perhaps it is time to think about a holiday at home and Cornwall Holidays 2010.

And what better place could you think about than lovely, magical Cornwall.

There are so many things to see and do, as my family have discovered these past 20 odd years.

I grew up in Cornwall so I hope you will forgive or excuse the bias but really there is nowhere better to enjoy such a wide range of diverse things to do and no matter whether you are a single, a couple or a family. Whether you are a teenager, a thirtysomething, middle aged or advanced middle age ( the last one is me and I am not yet ready to be 'elderly!') Cornwall has something for you.

There is the North Coast Vs South Coast argument which rages.

The North has the rugged, adventure aspect of holidays, together with the mysterious and the mythical.

There is Newquay - the surfing paradise of Cornwall and one of the surf havens of the world, where you can let your hair down, party and pit your wits agains some great surf. And if you are a novice, there are plenty of surf schools where you can learn to brave the wave.

Padstow and Boscastle are two delightful places. Typical, traditional harbour villages and Boscastle has the legacy of the terrible day a few years back when the place and the people in it were very nearly swept into oblivion. You jjust have to visit it to appreciate the fact that it has recovered and is now starting to thrive again.

Tintagel with all the romance, mystery and intrigue of Arthur, Merlin and Excalibur is a place that you just cannot miss, The castle ruins are dramatic and the views . . . .well, they are just breathtaking.

Go south to St Austell, the largest town in Cornwall which has a newly built shopping centre and then on to Truro, down towards the west, which is Cornwall's capital. Truro is a city and one that is well worth visiting for its quaint and historic beauty.

Inbetween there is the science of the Eden project, Just outside Cornwall as well as the china clay museum at Carthew on the A30 between St Austell and Bodmin.

Further on down towards Cornwall's westerly tip you come to Goonhilly, Cornwalls very own satelllite centre and once the largest tracking station in the world.

Then it is on to Lands End and The Lizard, the most southerly point in Britain.

Coming back up the coast there is Looe, Polperro, St Ives, Mevagissey, Gorran Haven, Pentewan and Fowey, all wonderful, traditional holiday towns with plenty for the family to see, do and enjoy.

Pasties, Cream Teas, great sea food and fabulous restaurants, Wonderful Ice Cream and terrific locally brewed beers (not to mention scrumpy).

Cornwall Holidays 2010 has such a lot to offer and you can stay wherever your budget will allow.

Camping, Caravanning, Cottages, Hotels - there is such a range of accommodation options at a range of prices so that everyone can find something that suits there needs as well as their pocket.

There! Just writing about it has made me feel as if spring is only just around the corner!

I shall be down there in about 4 weeks. I am off to Helsett farm in Boscastle to get some of their gorgeous,delicious organic ice cream. Well . . .it is worth the 500 mile round trip!
