We all know that Christmas is a great time to be in Cornwall, but what if you have taken advantage of the bargain breaks available in January and February? Don't worry - even with the festive season over, there are plenty of great activities you can get up to. Here are a few ideas - do you have any others? Add them in the comments below or tell us on social media.
| Winter walks Our winters are famously pretty mild, so it's not often that the weather is so cold or wet that you really can't go anywhere. As someone once said, there is no such thing as bad weather - only unsuitable clothes! If you're feeling particularly brave, the north coast is a real spectacle when the weather is stormy. Find yourself a safe vantage point, such as the car park above Widemouth Bay or the car park at Port Quin, and enjoy the crashing waves. [Please be careful - every year people are swept into the sea] Over the winter, most local beaches become dog-friendly, so you can take Rover for a ragged run over the shingle without fear of upsetting anyone. You could also go and see the fantastic starling murmurations - huge flocks of the birds that roost in the area. Read more (places to view murmurations) |  |
 | Camera Dates Why not team up with a friend and go on a camera date? Late winter promises some of the region's most stunning vistas, while also being far less busy than later in the year.
