......OK..I heard my name mentioned..

West Penwith can easily fill your six days so don't bust a gut trying to do Bodmin Moor as well...come back another time and do it.

Camp sites down west that I would recommend are Trevedra near Sennen. It's a large site but very nice and you can walk to the beach. Does get very busy in August though. There is a campsite at Treen near Porthcurno, very handy for the Minack, several stone circles and you can walk out to the cliff path in the evening to watch the sun go down...and the pub down the road is good (Logan Rock Inn). Boleigh Camp site was pretty basic when we last stayed there (several years ago now) it is also a bit out of the way. We use Bone Valley just outside Penzance every year. It is small, clean and tidy and handy for walking into Penzance. Easy to access the moors and all the stones as well as St Ives etc.

Beaches.....St Ives will be heaving in August...if you like noisy children, fake surfers and bad art then go there....Sennen is great, there is always somehwere to relax even on a busy day...head for the northern end to avoid the familys. Porthcurno and Porthgwara are well worth checking out, Porthcurno as well as the Minack also has the Telegraph Station museum which is worth checking out. Porthgwara has man made caves cut through the cliffs and a little tea shop but not much else. From there you can walk along the the coast path to Nanjizel...don't tell everyone but this has to be the best beach down that way. Seals swim off shore, there is golden sand, sea caves and because you have to walk it never gets crowded...but you won't have it to yourself.

What else would I reccomend?

Pubs....Old Success at Sennen Cove, Gurnards Head at Treen (on the north coast) is great for food..but pricey. The Dock Inn, Penzance is a great locals pub. The Star Inn in St Just is another true Cornish pub.

Buy fish and chips in St Just and drive out to Cape Cornwal or Botallack and eat them whilst sitting watching the sun go down over the sea.

The road from St Ives to St Just is a must. spend a day travelling along it, stopping off to look at things. Zennor, Carn Galva and Bosigran cliff, Levant and Botallack mines, Cape Cornwall....

DON'T go to Land's End! unless you walk through it on the coast path...commercialised tat and so much health and safety notices that you dont get to see the cliffs...

and then there are the sites....far too many to choose from...and did some bald bloke mention wells?

Enjoy your holiday...happy to answer any questions
