Hi Chunk,
apart from the fab beaches, surfing, coastal drives, Helagen, Eden, Tintagle, Bosscastle, Padsstow, Cycling the camel way, the tramway coast to coast, Dartmoor ..
I'm asuming that you mean green lanes ... which are sadly few and far between - contact 'offroadit' (goolge him) for info what is out there

hope that helps and you have a good time!! Poppy - TDCI (Puma) 110XS 2.2 - Camper conversion - see the build here - https://www.defender2.net/forum/topic56530.html

Had my honeymoon in Cornwall as the company our travel agent booked our flights with sub'd out to another company who were owned by Xl who wen bust.

Off the top of my head (and I know we missed a few places) depends also on what yopu're looking for:

* Eden project
* Falmouth had a maritime type museum (we were based in Falmouth)
* Day out to Newquay (bit disappointing, unless you're into surfing)
* Lands End (nice for a morning and leg stretch to just say we've been there really)
* St Ives nice, with plenty of pricey art gallerys
* Boscastle (threw it down!!!)
* St Mawes was nice to sit and do nothing
* Bodmin has a prison museum
* Plymouth is great, I've been there several times with work

Starter for ten, depends on whether or not you have kids, or what floats your boat.

Cheers fella's thats probably saved me hours of googling and earned some browny points.

Our little ones are getting on for 2 and 4 so need to keep them entertained really.

I did a LeJog rally in 2008 so I've seen what Lands End has to offer... I think the kids would be disappointed!

Some great idea's there, I'm looking forward to the beaches and driving across dartmoor even if there's no off-roading its somewhere I've always wanted to go. Cool

To find out about green lanes in Cornwall (or anywhere) check out www.trailwise.org.uk there are some restrictions for non members (of GLASS, TRF, CRAG, IPROW) but still a useful tool. MAD COW
