Easter is the first occasion of the year when many think of going away. The children are off for two whole glorious weeks and you’re almost always guaranteed the chance of a bit of spring sunshine to blow the winter cobwebs away too. Of course with it being Easter too there are plenty of events on wherever you go, and today we’re putting the spotlight on Cornwall, and things to do there during the Easter holidays.
There’s lots of events on all over Cornwall throughout the Easter break, so whether you’re planning a caravan holiday in Bude, Looe, Newquay or one of the many areas within the county you should be able to find something near you to include in your break.
