Not sure what to do? :confused:

Will be me, bf and a dog (which I can leave at the place we're staying, but I'd rather not).

I want

Cheap
Dog Friendly
Interesting

What can we do? :) (I'll have a car.)

Do we really have to obey 'dog friendly' or 'dog's not allowed' signs on beaches?

Daymer Bay sounds quite nice, are you allowed stove's on beaches? (You can tell I'm a townie :( )

Trebah Gardens are nice but nearly 8quid each to look around a garden fuckin hell! :eek:

Any old ruins, cool things to explore appreciated too :cool:
 
at that time of the year the main summer season hasnt really kicked in yet so most beaches will be ok to take your dog on. just bring a bag and you'll be fine.

are you going to be in north, south, central, or west cornwall?
 
most beaches will have a doggy area. If you go to the info centre of where you're staying,you'll be able to pick up a leaflet of beaches and stuff where you can take dogs. There will be loads to do :)

Yeh I was thinking it would be ok, I always clean up!

Always stay in Newquay but happy to drive anywhere really, as we've no plans mon-fri. :)

I went to the ancient village and past the outdoor (mandip??) thatre with boskysquelch, might go back to the settlement again as I think my BF liked it. I'm not sure I'll be a great guide though! :oops:

I like beaches but I don't wanna walk on beaches for 5 days! :eek: :D

What's on the Scilly Isles anything good?
 
Minack Theatre :cool:

It's worth going to the Scilly Isles but it can be a very rough crossing sometimes

Thass it!! :oops: :D

Oh dear a bit like this ------>> :vomit:

Yes, it can be *dire memory of a rough crossing on the Scillonian* :D There's a helicopter trip out there too, from the heliport. But I don't know if you can take dogs on that.
 
Minack is brilliant, and the lovely horseshoe bay you have to do a spot of rock climbing to get to round the corner from it.

Newquay was full of chavs when I went through the town centre.

I'll fit in great then :cool:

TBH we actually stay in Porth ;)

BTW I have been to Cornwall a couple of times already so know what it's like :cool:
 
Lost Gardens of Heligan are nice (near the Eden Project but not sure if you can take the dog)

Also St Michaels Mount in mousehole is nice - you can walk across the causeway at low tide.

They're both on the south coast though

Tis in Marazion ;), but Moushole is nice too, just to wander around the windy little streets :)

I'd stay in Perranporth. Lovely beach and close to most things.

i'd recommend that to since its where i live.

Chy, the seiners was bought by a consortium which contains John Tarode (master chef presenter) last summer. not sure how dog friendly it is now. certianly a nicer place to have a drink since the change in ownership and the food is good.

zenie, newquay should be ok if you there not on one of hte bank holiday weekends. it does get packed with stag and hen parties.

you could get the boat from the centre of Truro down the river fal to falmouth. that should be running in May. google enterprise boats, truro for info.
 
Ermm read my post, :p I am there over the bank holiday (I always am) and I'm actually staying in Porth which is just outside Newquay near Porth Beach and Watergate Bay :)

Oh I'm going to Dartmoor Zoo one day :)

Watergate has changed massively by Jamie Oliver's restaraunt and all the development* that's gone with it!

It's still a fucking wicked beach though, just got really expensive to park round there now and it's full of 4x4's. plus all the new apartments sprung up nearby.

The pub opposite the field car park does lovely grub though. Fuck making the Watergate Hotel owners any richer than they already are and eating at the Bistro/Beach Cafe :D

i like Porth though, Porth is cute :cool:

*although that applies to Newquay too. Was a 6 month gap between my last two visits, i was staggered how many old hotels had dissapeared and had 'trendy new surf pods' being built in there place/had hoardings up advertising a development

progress i guess though, a lot of those hotels looked utter shit but where will be biddies on the coaches go now!

fuck being a local trying to buy a house though, no wonder they hate us

KERNOW!
 
Trebah Gardens might be £8 but they're bloody worth it! Had a happy few hours rambling around there and then visiting the beach at the end. They've got some of those amazing prehistoric giant rhubarb type plants - there's a picture of me standing under one of the leaves and I look tiny! (I'm 6ft 1 btw) :D

There are some of those on the way down into Church cove, The Lizard, opposite the gate to the private road to the Lifeboat Station.
