"If you had 4 days to spend in Cornwall what would you say are the best places to visit or the one to avoid?"
avoid the tourist spots... they get busy... the rest of cornwall is empty... its full of empty second homes that change hands for millions! thanks to toffs that live in the big smoke... a cornish man or woman is a dying breed... SAVE them! Buy a pasty! lol |

What do you want to do? Are you site seeing, chilling, exploring, or planning a little fun?
The pubs are great, roads are empty at moment, sea fishing is good if you're into that. Truro is a great little city, plenty of pubs, good local food. If you want rowdy, go to Newquay, lol. if you want peace and quiet there are loads of places, St Mawes, Porthscatho, Fowey, Mevagissey etc. There are a few country houses with gardens to see too, then there's the Eden Project. If you like traditional ales, there are a few independant breweries in Cornwall.
and there are some fine pubs to see. |

Well I am not into pubs but certainly a good restaurant by the sea would be fantastic!
I am site seeing and love the sea view as well as a stroll in a nice little town by the sea, you know a fisherman harhour and so forth.... |

Try Mevagissey. We stayed there last summer and it's a delightful little fishing village with shops and restaurants along the quayside. Lovely little place with very narrow streets just wide enough to get a car down. |

not sure if its open this time of year but i went to see 'A Midsummer Nights Dream' at the Minack Theatre in Cornwall and it was stunning. Its a theatre carved into the side of a cliff - the backdrop to any scene is amazing |

Get yourselves down to the Lizard! Kynance Cove is lovely and empty at this time of year. Long walk, but worth it. Then drive down to the Point and DON'T go into the car park on the left and run by the National Trust.
Keep going and park right on the edge of the cliff and right next to the best cafe around. Polpeor Cafe does a lovely pasty, has a great view from the patio and we have sat there all afternoon drinking a really good pot of tea!
Put this together with the Seal Sanctury at Gweek and you have a lovely break. You could always go to Trengwainton Gardens at Madron, near Penzance... We have some good "pictures" taken there... Now that was a day out!! lol
Whatever you decide, have a great time xx  |

The Minack does not start untill June, I have seen some fantastic productions there, mid summer theatre with the backdrop of blue sea's & Treen beach-magical.  |

Had a cottage in Moushole last year for a week, that little town will tick all your boxes. |

if you like theatre check out Hall for Cornwall in Truro. You can get boat trips from river in Truro to The Roseland Peninsula, to St Mawes. There are some great riverside pubs/resturants like Pandora Inn or The Smugglers. Fowey is a very picturesque little village. It was a famous hideaway of Pirates in the middle ages. From Fowey you can take a trip to Looe and Polperro too. Four days isn't enough, lol. |

We camped in St Just.
What a fab site, called "the secret garden"
And it so was too.
The coast over there was fab.
Mousehole is so pretty, and we found a great ice cream shop!!!!
Mind yu, parking there on the front, takes some skill, hehehehe |

It all depends what you want to do and how far West you're coming really.
Well today as it's been sooooooooo nice I decided to go for a drive. Top down of course. Took in Sennen, Lamorna, Mousehole, Newlyn and Marazion. STUNNING is all I can say. Oh and the smell of the Ozone is soooooo good. Great living by the sea.
Only down point is the FEKKING SHITEHAWKS  
BBQ now at Praa Sands, What more could a guy want apart from a HOT woman thats is  |
