It is home to the surfer's paradise that is St. Ives, boasts miles upon miles of beautiful golden beaches, quaint unspoilt fishing villages and breath taking scenery; so it's no wonder Cornwall has been voted the UK's best holiday destination for the third year running.

With its high cliffs, wild moorlands and peaceful woodlands, not to mention the famous Cornish pasty and traditional Cornish Cream Tea, holidaymakers of all ages and interests keep flocking back year after year to what has become one of the jewels in the British holidaying crown.

So you've spent a few days on the beach, built sandcastles, splashed in the sea and flown a kite but now fancy trying something different.

Why not check out some of Cornwall's best loved tourist attractions. Not only are they great fun for the whole family to visit, but will keep the little ones entertained all day. Dubbed the Eighth Wonder of the World by some, The Eden Project is a dramatic global garden housed in tropical biomes. More than just a tropical garden, Eden also gives a fascinating insight into the story of mankind's dependence on plant life and offers a real treat to the senses, allowing visitors to discover the sights, smells and sheer scale of the African rainforests.

Once you've seen what plant life Cornwall has to offer, why not get close to the wildlife at Newquay Zoo - home to no less than 130 species, from big cats to birds, insects and reptiles.

The first attraction in Cornwall to achieve a Gold accreditation from the Green Tourism Business Scheme, the zoo is also very environmentally aware.

Other top family attractions include the Blue Reef Aquarium, the National Maritime Museum, Springfields Fun Park and Pony Centre, and Paradise Park in Hayle, so there's certainly no excuse for being bored.

Whether you're planning to stay in the lap of luxury, want a cosy cottage for the week or a camp site so you can sleep under the stars, Cornwall has pretty much everything you could ask for.

Pentewan Sands Holiday Park in St Austell and Mevagissey on the East Coast is a great example of the perfect destination for the whole family, whether you're pitching a tent, parking a motorhome or staying in one of the park's luxurious self - catering static caravans.

It even has its own beach so you'll never experience that crowded beach feeling again.
