Does she like walking? The coastal path from Penzance round to St. Ives is rather fantastic. Great beach at Sennen Cove. The Minack theatre looks worth a visit - it is on that coastal path. I loved Mousehole though it was rather busy. I quite fancied going to St. Michael's Mount but opted to go cycling instead.
SW Cornwall generally has about the best weather on the mainland UK, though we did have a couple of spectacularly bad days while we were down there. I went down for Christmas once and was walking around St. Ives in shorts, it was that mild.
Well i like it ! If anyone wants to swap their Cornish house for a 3 bed semi in Manchester then let me know I want sea,countryside and warm rain
Oh i know the prices Still,i can dream that one day i can get there with my family.......and my house is very nice.......just in ManchesterYou are obviously not up to date with house prices in Cornwall ......
The average local price is the highest in the country when compared to the average local earnings
If in London you need to be over 40 and need a 6 figure deposit just to get the most basic house, pity the local Cornish lad, no hope of his own house before retirement

We have one for the week in August.
I think that's almost exactly the route I took on one of my holidays - I've been down with a bike twice, staying in Penzance. I particularly liked the road near Zennor.ColinJ, the ride around the peninsula via Penzance, Mousehole [Raginnis Hill out of there is fun], St Buryan, [miss out Lands End, it's now rubbish] St Just, and ride the coast road back to just before St Ives then back over the tops and down to Hayle, just tremendous. We have a short walk to an amazing beach and three great cafes close by.
That's the one! There is also a cafe at, I think it's Geevor tin mine that is perched over a tiny cove looking out to sea, possibly the best view from any cafe I have stopped at on a bike.I particularly liked the road near Zennor.
