Eden Project maybe. There also some fairly spectacular coastline there when the sun is shining. Newquay Zoo could also fill some time.

well we made it back - just. clocked up nearly 350 miles in just over 24 hrs, saw most of cornwall and its little twisty roads :D only to be nearly taken out by some silly bitch near the quarry just outside newton scabbot.

we stayed in a place called crantock (just outside newquay) awesome beach and an excellent biker friendly b&b - secure garage for the bikes, full english in the morning etc
highly recommend the b&b http://www.berwynguesthouse.co.uk also found some other places in the village with good safe parking and can sleep up to 8 of us if a swb cornwall 'weekend outing' was to be planned.


managed to take in st ives(very misty plus full of ewan & charlie wannabes that actually rode thru the town standing up! tossers),were gonna pop to lands end but thought sod it as would be full of gimps, penzance,st michaels mount, helston, falmouth, truro, st austell, lostwithiel, looe, plymouth(obligatory exhaust trumpets in the tunnel and then kim picking a fight with a booth controller) and then home.

busy time, but def gonna be popping back to explore at shall we say a 'spirited pace'rather than a civilised one.

Glad you had a good time mate, despite the silly woman outside the quarry.
