Use Keigwin House as your base and take time to explore the Lands End peninsula with its rugged cliffs, sandy beaches and secluded coves. Visit the fishing villages of Newlyn and Mousehole with their winding roads and many galleries and gift shops. Further west along the coast to Porthcurno with its telegraph museum and the Minack open-air theatre; take in a show or just wonder at the vision that became the Minack and don?t forget to look out to sea and you may just see a basking shark or two. Onwards to Sennen to relax on its golden sands or take to the water for a bracing dip or even try surfing, before watching the sun set over the Isles of Scilly. Travelling onwards along the north coast you will reach Pendeen and Botallack steeped in mining history. You could stop off at Geevor tin mine for a trip into the past before going on to St Ives with its much publicized Tate Gallery, picturesque harbour and a multitude of gift shops and galleries, not forgetting the gorgeous beaches. Back on the south coast a visit to Marazion is a must. Take a wander across the causeway to St Michaels Mount and climb up to visit the house and gardens, which cling to the cliffs. The Mount whilst being part of the National Trust is still home to the St. Aubyn family, as it has been for nearly 350 years.
