Many of the best things in Life require a little more effort and this is true of Lantic Bay. Roughly 20 minute’s walk from the closest car park it is beautifully hidden and secluded, ideal for the May half-term. It is nestled in a sheltered cove on the south east coast, just over a mile from Fowey, Lantic Bay is renowned for being a ‘sun-trap’ and has fine white sand bordered with shingle.

Even if its wet or windy outside, spring will be here before you know it.. Use our Fun page to help start planning holidays, especially if you want to catch any special events in Cornwall through the year.

For the Cornish, things kick off on March 5th, the feast day of St Piran. Musicians and dancers take to the streets in a sea of black and white to celebrate the life of Cornwall’s most famous saint. It also coincides with the World Pasty Championships. These will be held at the Eden Project on March 2nd. You don’t have to be Cornish to attend…but it helps!

 

The beginning of April sees things warming up with the first weekend having the Cornwall Spring Flower Show. This to its new venue at the Royal Cornwall Showground at Wadebridge. You will get colour and scents and many ideas for planting up your own garden for this summer. At the end of the month it’s time to head down west for a big food festival, held down around the harbour in Porthleven. Get there early, it gets busy!

Royal Cornwall Show

Many Locals and visitors check out the Royal Cornwall Show at Wadebridge.
