It's like passing a sign that says "penzance - 4 miles" then passing another pointing in a different direction reading "penzance - 5 miles".

Like Ireland, then. But with Penzance instead of Ballyshaggoats.

"Do you know the way to Penzance?"
"Yes".
Is it like that? ^

Also, if I might trouble you again, is the Eden Project worth visiting?

shut it you egg!
if you're coming all that way, i would imagine it would be worth a look. i haven't actually been there but my kids have a few times and they like it (although it may be a bit pricey and busy).
there are loads of lovely gardens down that way, lost gardens of heligan, trebah gardens, have a look at this site for more

it dosen't get any easier when you've lived here a while. it took me 5 attempts to find gwenapp
thing to remember is there are only about 3 main roads in cornwall, and if you drive in one direction long enough you will either find one of them or the coast.

Went for the first time the other day.
Yes it's worth visiting. Although you have to be into plants to enjoy it (obviously). There are no extreme water slides or man-eating tigers. I really liked the tropical biome.
Many say that the Lost Gardens are better.

Look in the local papers, they've always got money off vouchers for the ferry.

It's not bad. I just go elsewhere.

It's not bad, it just gets a bit hectic at the height of the season with lads on stag nights and people puking in the streets and stuff.
You could try somewhere around Crantock - it's close to Newquay but not so crowded and has a lovely beach. This one looks quite nice:

Anywhere on the north coast would be good for surfing though I would have thought.

Hello Geri - that is near where we have camped for the last 6 or 7 summers (well the first two weeks of the holidays at least). It's wonderful.
Cheers - Louis MacNeice

I didn't say "bad vibe", I said "not the vibe we're looking for". If the vibe you're looking for is stag and hen parties puking up in the streets, you might think it a "good vibe". Each to their own.

Me too. (Well, family in my case). I'm looking forward to it.sorry danny it was the 2nd post after your thread starter, the one that said that Newquay was well scary these days.
And actually all i want is a quite little place to hang with some friends and relax and forget about London and work for a while
When are you thinking of going?

Should we check out St Ives while we're down there? It looks about 1/2 an hour from Porthcurno on the map.
