I love ziplines and this one looks AMAZING!! It zips you 490m across a quarry, over a lake and through/ over various vegetation, at speeds of up to 40mph.The quaint village has narrow, winding streets with plenty of independent shops, galleries, and eateries, with many of the pretty cottages built from local Lamorna granite. One of the nicest features in Mousehole is its beach! Located in the sheltered part of the harbor, it is small, safe, and absolutely perfect for families with younger children. If you have time, be sure to take a walk along the coastal path to Lamorna – an absolutely stunning little cove at the end of a verdant valley, complete with a babbling stream! The semi-sheltered Porthmeor Beach is an excellent spot for surfing, with surf schools and rentals. Other great beaches in St Ives include the picturesque Blue Flag Porthminster Beach, the small Porthgwidden Beach, and the relatively secluded Bamaluz Beach.

There is also the Leach Pottery Studio, founded by Bernard Leach, a British studio potter and art teacher, regarded as the ‘Father of British studio pottery’. You can take a tour of the studio and see the pottery being made.
