Most rental car services should let you pick up from one airport and drop off at the other. My favorite locations from the trip were… on the way, driving through the moor lands and seeing some of the old quarries, Falmouth and Newquay. Those cities have quite a few things to do as well as being able to just walk around the city. We only stayed at bed and breakfast’s and did not book until we got there. Hope you have fun!

Don’t miss The Eden Project! If you like gardens, you are spoilt for choice: Heligan http://www.heligan.com/ is lovely and not far from Eden. Near Falmouth are Trebah and Glendurgan, both well worth a visit with tough walks back up to the car park from sea-level. Falmouth has the National Maritime Museum. Whatever you do, don’t drive the the awful Lands End park: it’s ghastly and very expensive parking. Instead, park at Sennen Cove and walk to Lands End, about 20 mins on the coastal path. All of the coastal path around Cornwall is owned by the National Trust and open to the public. Lots of excellent walks, long and short. Hope you have a great holiday.

Thanks for the tip about parking. The gardens are a must see. I will look more into this, locate it on the map et.c. Cheers.

Lucky you!
Don’t miss St Ives – winding streets, lovely cafes and art galleries. It does get busy though.
Tintagel is great too (one of the alleged sites of King Arthur’s Camelot). There are lots of steps to the castle ruins, but the views are worth it. The coastline is absolutely beautiful in this part of the country. There is also a cave (Merlin’s cave) and a waterfall down on the beach below. Check out www.english-heritage.org.uk for details.
Have a fantastic time!

Hi
I rented a car through Alamo from Heathrow. Really happy with it. I did it via the Internet through a cheap rental site, not directly through the Alamo website.
Just about anywhere in Cornwall is beautiful. Enjoy your trip.

If you visit Cornwall, the best advice I can give is to make sure you get a good guidebook and take in as much archaeology as you can. In Lands’s End, a lot of it is easily reachable – Standing Stones are everywhere!
Some of the better quoits and circles are a bit harder to find, but there’s a lot of work going on down there to improve access and care of these ancient places.
