A weekend in Cornwall: 'Must See' places to visit
My littlest sister is just the BEST at thoughtful and unique gifts. Knowing I love travel, beautiful photography and enjoying many a weekend in Cornwall spending afternoons getting lost in dusty book shops down little cobbly streets, she picked the perfect Christmas prize for me. The beautifully illustrated and printed ‘Cornwall Weekend Journals’, which I spent last Sunday devouring.
What’s the draw of spending a weekend in Cornwall and why ‘Weekend Journals’?
If you haven’t heard of the Weekend Journals and you are a hip traveller, keen foodie, artsy type, or are planning a trip to Cornwall, London or Provence, then check them out immediately.
I have a love affair with Cornwall. In fact, I’ve often pictured myself retiring there. The slow pace of life, scrumptious pasties, strong cider and picturesque beaches are my idea of heaven. James and I have escaped to Cornwall on numerous occasions and are planning our next visit to Porthleven in April, yippee!
The best hotels, galleries and eateries in Cornwall!
‘A guide to Cornwall by Weekend Journals’ takes you on a journey travelling around the Cornish Coast. Introducing boutique hotels, contemporary galleries, colourful eateries and exceptional design shops, you will become immersed in the Cornish way of life. Whilst retaining it’s mysterious past and traditional way of life, these unique additions bring a modern yet sympathetic style to the scene. So go create a free week in your diary, escape the daily grind and visit this enchanting county. Just don’t blame me if you don’t want to leave!
My top places to enjoy during a weekend in Cornwall:
St Tudy Inn – Restaurant and rooms, Bodmin. Enjoy home-cooked food and a warm welcome at this traditional Inn.
Tate St Ives – Gallery, St Ives. A must-see if you enjoy Art, a great place to spend a whole afternoon.
Trevose Harbour House –– Hotel, St Ives. A unique and elegant guesthouse situated within a picturesque terrace in the heart of St. Ives.
Toro – Shop, Falmouth. Plant heaven!!! This is my kind of shop!
Barbara Hepworth Museum – Museum, St Ives. For the art crowd, Barbara Hepworth needs no introduction. Be wowed by sculptures and a walk through the gardens.
No 56 – Shop, Penzance. A mix of beautiful functional homeware and accessories.
Jubilee Pool – Lido and café, Penzance. Go for a dip in the fresh air! Salt water pool in Penzance.
The Sandy Duck – Bed and breakfast, Falmouth. If you love Scandinavian home style, then you’ll love The Sandy Duck. This B&B combines minimal design with beautiful interiors.
