The Eden Project
Let’s start with this iconic Cornish destination – The Eden Project. What was once a barren landscape, is now a destination for many visitors to Cornwall wanting a glimpse of the famous Biomes that house a garden comprised of plants from all over the world.
There are lots to discover at The Eden Project including the Rainforest Biome, Mediterranean Biome, an adventure playground called Nature’s Playground, outdoor gardens and so much more.

For visitors that seek adventure on their visit, you can pre-book a zip-wire experience and other thrill-seeking experiences over the Biomes.
Healeys Cornish Cyder Farm
Within the Cornish countryside, you’ll find Healeys Cornish Cyder Farm – a popular family-friendly attraction, which offers visitors a chance to learn about the traditional cider-making process and explore the beautiful countryside setting.
Whilst there, you can take a guided tour of the cider-making facilities, wander through the orchards on foot or tractor ride. Don’t forget to say hello to the farm animals too – animals such as goats and chickens can be found within the farm yard area.
Throughout the year, Healeys Cornish Cyder Farm hosts various seasonal events, such as apple blossom festivals, cider-making demonstrations, and harvest celebrations, providing additional entertainment for visitors, so be sure to check out their ‘What’s On’ page to see if your visit lines up with any events.
The Minack Theatre
