We are very blessed with our location here at the Carlyon Bay Hotel, to be based in a country so rich in history and natural beauty. We've chosen some of our favourites which we think are must see locations!
Recommended places to visit include:
- Tintagel Castle - The ruins of the historic castle, so closely associated with the legend of King Authur.
- The Mên-an-Tol - "Men an Toll" in Cornish, is a small formation of standing stones a few miles out of Penzance.
- St Michael's Mount - "Karrek Loos yn Koos" is a small tidal island in Mount's Bay, Marazion.
- Goonhilly Satellite Earth Station - a large radio communication site located on Goonhilly Downs near Helston on the Lizard peninsula.
