About Cornwall

The County of Cornwall (Kernow) offers opportunities for enjoyment throughout the year. There is dramatic coastal scenery, tranquil villages, miles of golden sands, the sea and many indoor opportunities for those days when the weather is not as good as we would always wish.

Parc Drae provides a cosy, comfortable and well equipped base whatever the time of year.

Cornwall offers a vast number of attractions covering such areas as; animal sanctuaries, farm based activities, wildlife organisations, zoos, owl sanctuary, arts centres, live theatre (notably The Hall for Cornwall and the superbly located Minack Theatre with the stunning backdrop of the sea), cinemas, dramatic scenery, beaches, boat trips, scenic flights, municipal gardens, splendid Christmas light displays (the most famous being at Mousehole), coastal footpath, King Harry trail, cycle trails (with cycle hire available for many), gardens, nurseries, historic houses (National Trust, Historic Houses Association and English Heritage as well as private), golf courses, garden nurseries, leisure centres, ten pin bowling, theme parks, markets, Truro Cathedral, historic Churches.

For many visitors a trip to the Eden Project, the Lost Gardens of Heligan, the National Maritime Museum Cornwall or the Tate of the West is often an essential part of the visit.
