With the Scillonian steamship making regular departures just metres away on Penzance harbourside, The Dolphin Tavern is an ideal resting point for travellers to or from the magical Isles of Scilly. Just 28 miles off the Cornish coast, a visit to these stunning, sub-tropical islands is like a visit to another world.

This magnificent open air amphitheatre has to be seen to be believed. Carved out of the cliffs of Porthcurno and overlooking an expanse of ocean and rugged coastline, it forms the most spectacular setting for a theatrical production. There is also a visitor centre and cafe.

Perhaps one of the National Trust’s most unique and awe-inspiring attractions, this 14th century castle crowns a small island in Mount’s Bay. You can walk across the causeway at low tide or take the short boat trip at high tide.

One of Cornwall’s most iconic landmarks, the dramatic cliffs of Land’s End are a breathtaking sight. The complex offers a range of attractions and exhibitions, including ‘The Last Labyrinth’ experience.

A walk along the sea front from The Dolphin Tavern will lead you to the fishing port of Newlyn, home to Newlyn Art Gallery and the annual Newlyn Fish Festival which takes place during the August Bank Holiday weekend. Further along the coast you’ll find the beautiful fishing village of Mousehole, with its picturesque cottages and narrow streets huddled around the harbour.

Framed by its beautiful sandy beaches, a visit to the stunning town of St Ives is an essential on your itinerary. Browse the art galleries, visit the famous Tate Gallery, ride some waves, laze on the beach or dine at one of its fine harbourside restaurants.
