The Eden Project
-For more information visit : www.edenproject.com

The Eden Project near St Austell in Cornwall is less than an hours drive (on a good day) from Prussia Cove. It has been described as the 8th wonder of the world as space age technology meets the lost world in a giant 50 metre deep crater. The size of 35 football pitches, it has been sculpted to make a living theatre of plants and people - a global garden that was planted late in summer 2000. For an entry fee of £9.50 per adult you can visit now from 9.00am to 5.00pm. There is plenty of parking and the site is well signposted from the A30. Allow your self a good 2-3 hours in all, it takes at least an hour and a half to go round the bio-domes. Dogs are not allowed into the project.

St Michaels Mount (National Trust)
-For more information visit: http://www.stmichaelsmount.co.uk (under development)

Well worth a visit, St.Michael's Mount is located a few hundred yards from the beach at Marazion, 2 miles from Prussia Cove. At low tide a causeway runs from Marazion to St.Michaels's Mount, at other times small boats ferry visitors to and from the Mount. According to legend St Michael's Mount is part of the lost kingdom of Lyonesse, where King Arthur's knights once rode.  Today, it gives spectacular views over Mount's Bay and an interesting tour of the castle.

Tate St Ives opened in June 1993 and offers a unique introduction to modern art, where many works can be viewed in the surroundings and atmosphere which inspired them.

Minack Theatre
-For more information about Theatre and Productions visit www.minack.com

The Minack Theatre is the most famous open-air theatre in Britain, from above it looks as though some wandering Greeks, two thousand years ago, had carved a theatre into the granite cliff. In fact, only sixty five years ago there was nothing except a sloping gully of gorse and heather and below that, the sea. In 1988 a Visitor Centre was opened which houses a permanent record of the creation of the Minack Theatre. The Centre has recently been refurbished with enhanced model and audio-visual elements. During the ’97-’98 winter a new entrance complex and coffee shop were completed and now offer improved facilities for audience, visitors and staff alike.
