Touring around the Land's End Peninsula and down to the Lizard Peninsula you have access to a great diversity of arts, antiquities, gardens, museums, scenery, sports and wildlife. Whether driving yourself around, taking the many public transport options, being 'chauffeured' by Harry Safari or enjoying the many walks you will find plenty to see and do - even if it starts to rain!

In fact there is a considerable amount to take in during your stay, so much so that many Camilla House guests come back each year to carry on where they left off at the last visit.

During your stay at the Camilla House Susan & Simon will spend as much time as you need explaining with maps and leaflets where to go and what to do - if you like to prepare in advance then please see some suggestions from the many options available on the right of this page.

Penzance is well serviced by public transport and many places can be visited easily without the need for a car. We recommend this form of getting around as it gives you more time to enjoy what is on offer, you don't have issues with parking and someone else does all the driving for you... result!

Of course for those who wish to simply relax and watch the world go by there are plenty of suitable places nearby to visit.
