Useful Tips

If you have more time, consider adding a visit to the Eden Project, the Lost Gardens of Heligan, or the Tintagel Castle. If you have less time, you can skip one of the locations and spend more time at the others. Don't forget to pack comfortable shoes and clothing, as well as sunscreen and a hat, as the weather can change rapidly.
