For many visitors, it happens at Truro. * The South West Coast Path, a National Trail, weaves along the rocky coast passing scenes that will stop you in your tracks, like the sweet harbour and beach at Portscatho.A fragrant detour on your trip through the Roseland Peninsula is a magical cottage garden cramming an amazing amount of life into just one acre.The garden, open Sunday to Thursday in spring and summer, is divided into “garden rooms” and themed borders.You’ll be dazzled by vibrant array of exotic plants and trees, shrubs, grasses, herbaceous plants and bulbs, all taking turns to burst into flower.A real delight is the wildlife orchard, which has miniature ducks and unusual chicken breeds.Be sure to stop by the tearoom, which has coffee from the regional fair trade roasting house, Owens.Five miles out of Truro at Penhallow is Cornwall’s first cider mill and distillery for three centuries.Healey’s Cornish Cyder Farm was founded in 1986 on what was then a dilapidated property, and has since become a family day out in summer.You can visit the press house, cellars, distillery and museum to discover the knowhow that goes into cider and apple brandy.You’ll get to sample cider, apple wine and brandy, as well as a selection of juices and jams.For kids there are trailer rides through the orchards, and they’ll also get to meet goats, cows and pigs at the animal farm.You can round off a visit with a Cornish cream tea at the restaurant or go for something heartier like an apple-infused “Ciderman’s Stew”.April to October Enterprise Boats, based in Truro, runs a timetable of cruises between Truro’s harbour and Falmouth.Sailing through the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty on the Fal River, you’ll pass maritime locations that have gone down in history, get within metres of immense ocean-going vessels and see the beautiful historic properties that line the shore.Once you get to Falmouth you’ll be at a dynamic port town with the third deepest natural harbour on Earth.At the height of summer there are sailings seven days a week, on two 60-foot boats built in the 1960s.There’s one stop during the trip, at Trelissick Garden, so you could combine your visit to the estate with this trip.There has been a ferry crossing on the Fal River between Feock in front of Trelissick Gardens and Philleigh on the Roseland side for hundreds of years.Now, with a stunning view along the deep waters of the Carrick Roads and its wooded banks, the King Harry Ferry is often hailed as one of the most scenic ferry trips in the world, even if the voyage only lasts a couple of minutes.The ferry runs every 20 minutes, saving a 26-mile detour around the Fal, and using a diesel-electric engine to pull its way along a submerged chain.The first engine-powered vessel was a steam ferry introduced in 1888, and before that there was a manually propelled barge.The gentle waters between Truro and Falmouth couldn’t be better suited to watersports.The Loe Beach watersports centre is on Carrick Roads five miles south of Truro town.If you’re holidaying as a family, this is the perfect opportunity to introduce children to water activities like kayaking and paddleboarding.You can hire equipment for your own excursion or sign up for friendly lessons to learn the basics or brush up on your skills.The centre also hires out dinghies, rowboats and motorboats for adventures along the Fal River, around Carrick Roads and up the various twisting creeks in the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.By Truro’s Plaza Cinema in the city centre is an endearing indoor shopping destination set on two levels.Lemon Street Market is an airy open building with cafe tables in its atrium and on the upper floor.On the sides there’s a contemporary art gallery, a design shop, a Cornish fishmonger, a florist, a shop with an array of artisan gin and a zero waster refill store where people bring their own containers for household essentials like toothpaste, toiletries and dried goods.There’s also a twee barbershop and Cliffside Clothing, selling colourful dresses and separates made from Italian linen.Right on the Truro River, the award-winning Skinner’s Brewery makes a range of cask-conditioned ales and bottled beer.All take their names from local folklore, like the Land’s End ship-wrecker Madgy Figgy and Betty Stogs, a reformed neglectful mother who mends her ways after fairies steal and clean her child.There are daily, year-round tours of the brewery, including two in July and August.There you’ll see a brewery in action, finding out interesting details like the source of Skinner’s Cornish barley.Your guide will have some riveting anecdotes about the day-to-day at the brewery and will introduce you to each of Skinner’s ales during a tutored tasting in the tap room.Dating back to the 14th century, Tregothnan is a private estate owned by the Boscawen Family.Exploring the Carrick Roads, you may catch sight of the spectacular 17th-century house above an inlet of the River Fal.Tregothnan is best known for its garden, also private, which grew the first outdoor camellias in the UK at the turn of the 19th century, and has recently become the first place in the UK to grow tea.Tregothnan produces goodies not normally associated with the UK, like manuka honey and rare kea plums for jam.Avid botanists will be happy to pay the price of a private garden visit at Tregothnan or take part in a gardeners’ workshop.But there’s another way onto the estate, during a charity garden opening once a year at the end of April.At Central Cornwall the peninsula tapers to just ten miles across, which puts the dramatic oceanscapes of the north coast in range.The St Agnes Heritage Coast is little more than 15 minutes by car, and blends rugged coastal scenery with Cornish tin-mining heritage.There are coves along the shore, like Chapel Porth beach, tucked into a former mining valley between daunting cliffs.Try to time your visit for low tide as the beach is open to the full force of the Atlantic.Other excellent local options are the Blue Flag Porthtowan, Trevaunance Cove and Trevallas-Porth beach, all of which have a savage beauty but are affected by the tides so require a bit of planning.When this post was written in 2018 the Hall for Cornwall, a beloved performing arts venue attracting audiences of 180,000 a year, was closed for refurbishment.Built from granite from the nearby Carn Brea hill in Redruth in 1846, the Hall for Cornwall used to be a municipal complex housing the town hall, police offices, cells, magistrates, stannary courts and the fire brigade.After a fire in 1914 the building was refitted with a stage and reopened as a theatre in 1925.
