4-Bedroom Hot Tub Cottage in Beaworthy

St Michael's Mount is a tidal island in Mount's Bay, near Penzance, linked to Marazion by a causeway of granite setts. At low tide you can walk across; when the tide is in, ferry boats run instead. On the island you'll find a historic village with cobbled streets, a harbour, shops, a café and a restaurant, all beneath the ramparts of the castle.

Tip: Check the causeway times when you book, as they decide whether you walk across or take a boat from the mainland.

Newquay Zoo is a 13-acre zoo and garden site in Trenance Leisure Park, in the middle of Newquay. It is the largest zoo in Cornwall, and its planted grounds have won a Britain in Bloom Gold award.

Tip: Check the zoo's website for current opening times, ticket offers and parking details before you go, as these can change.

Screech Owl Sanctuary & Animal Park is a home for owls and other animals on Goss Moor, near Indian Queens in mid Cornwall. Founded in 1990 by Carolyn Screech, it shows owls from around the world, with British, European, African, American, Asian, Australasian and West Indian species. It also rescues and rehabilitates wild owls in Cornwall, and there is a Siberian Eagle Owl breeding project.

Tip: If you want an owl or animal experience, call ahead to book, as busy periods may mean walk-up requests can't be fitted in.

Camel Creek is a family adventure park near Wadebridge in North Cornwall. The mix includes thrill rides and rollercoasters, outdoor play areas and animal areas, so there is plenty to fill a day. Its indoor play space covers 45,000 square feet, which means a wet day need not spoil the plan.

Tip: Check the park's website before you go for current tickets and events, as offers change. If a free return pass is offered with day tickets, read the terms first: it is non-transferable and excludes Toddler Takeover days, birthday parties, group bookings and school visits.

The Minack is an open-air theatre at Porthcurno in Cornwall, about four miles from Land's End. It is built above a gully, with a rocky granite outcrop jutting into the sea, and it appears in many lists of the world's most spectacular theatres. Each year it stages its own productions and hosts visiting companies, with a wide range of music and theatre.

Godrevy Lighthouse stands on Godrevy Island in St Ives Bay, about 300 metres off Godrevy Head. The white octagonal tower is 26 metres high and was built in 1858-1859 after the wreck of the steamer Nile in a storm. It marks the Stones, a reef that was a hazard to shipping for centuries.

Land's End is a headland and tourist complex at the western end of the A30 on the Penwith peninsula, about eight miles west-south-west of Penzance. It is the most westerly point of mainland England and the most south-westerly point in Great Britain, with the English Channel to the east and the Celtic Sea to the west.

Tip: The actual Land's End headland is about 200 yards north of the main tourist complex, so make sure you walk over to see it.
