Among Cornwall’s many other attractions are:
Eden Project: The recently opened Eden Project is located near St. Blazey Gate overlooking St. Austell Bay. A 50-metre deep crater is filled with plants from around the globe and two geodesic conservatories - the world’s largest - have been constructed from 800 steel hexagons. If you’d like a walk through the rainforest, Cornwall will be the place to go!
Tintagel: Legend has it that King Arthur was born at Tintagel, which is almost directly north of Looe on the opposite coast. The 13th - century castle is dramatically perched on the coast. Not far away is the waterfall at St. Nectan’s Glen. The coastal path winds its way through this area amid breathtaking views of the Atlantic Ocean and Cornish countryside. |

Bodmin Moor: North of Looe, mysterious Bodmin Moor is infused with legends including, at one time, that of a prowling beast. It’s also home to Dozmary Pool, which has evoked tales of King Arthur and Excalibur. The awe-inspiring landscape features impressive granite tors, marshes and valleys.
