Visit Britain's most southerly port to travel back in time in a real fishing village, of which few now survive. Porthleven campsites will have you sunning yourself on three miles of vibrant beach, or if you get a burst of energy, surfing the waves and discovering grandeur at the National Trust's Penrose Estate. With fresh fish from the sea on your doorstep and in every bistro, cream teas and homemade ice cream, foodies will be well at home.
