Transportation

Consider renting a car to have the freedom to explore Cornwall's stunning countryside.

With a car, it takes around 1.5 hours to get from Tintagel Castle to Marazion. Parking fees are available at each location, so bring some coins.

Useful Tips

If you have more time, consider adding the Eden Project, The Lost Gardens of Heligan, or the Tate St. Ives as they are some of the top attractions in Cornwall. If time is limited, focus on either the North or South coast. Wear comfortable walking shoes and bring a jacket as the weather can change throughout the day.
