The Eden Project
The Eden Project will propel you into a world of plants and people and is housed in beautiful and spectacular surroundings.
The Eden Project home is the size of thirty football pitches and overlooks St. Austell Bay. Here you can explore the rainforest cathedral as well as the dome that houses fruits of the Mediterranean and the flowers of South Africa and California. Not only that but you will be able to look in the landscaped gardens of the project that are home of lavendar, sunflowers and hemp. There are so many plants that have a story to tell, you can spend hours learning about the history and applications of many of the plants growing there.
Not only is all this available but during the summer and Christmas breaks the project is host to their rock concerts. Named The Eden Sessions, the selection is great and allows a diverse range of experiences for visitors. You will not be disappointed with a visit to the Eden Project and we recommend a visit if your journey or visit allow the time.

Spirit Of The West - American Theme Park
If you have ever watched a western film on television and wished you could go back in time then now is your chance as Sherrif Jaybee and friends are waiting for you at one of the most exciting attractions in Cornwall. As you arrive you are transported back in time as you walk through the authentic western town with working shops and displays inside the accurately constructed period buildings.
Suddenly your hear gunfire and wonder what is happening. As short walk down a dirt track sees you arrive in another town but this time you have arrived in the middle of a gunfight! Quickly you will need to 'take cover' in a shop doorway as criminals and cowboys exchange fire, ducking and diving behind barrels and buildings. Will the bad guys prevail or will the cowboys restore law and order to their town? We do not want to give much away but the gunfight is merely the start of your western experience as you will find yourself in a courtroom and may even be called upon as a witness as Sherrif Jaybee attempts to administer justice to the 'bad eggs' in his town!
The American Theme Park is the perfect day out for all the family with a genuinely amusing and friendly group of people in charge, not to be missed!
