10 THINGS TO DO IN JANUARY

1. Many towns and villages around Cornwall are still illuminated by their Christmas lights up until late on the 5th January.  Enjoy the Christmas Lights in your area. Mousehole and Angarrack are just two of the spectacular displays. See details on our Christmas Lights page


2. Go for a walk, a cycle ride or a ride with your horse along one of Cornwall's multi-use trails or enjoy a lovely coastal walk (weather permitting).   There are trails and walks in every area of Cornwall so choose one near you and have a great time. A perfect way to exercise away your New Year's festivities.  See our lists of trails and walks on these pages: Cycling, Walking, Horse Riding


3. Don't forget to get out and about with your four-legged friends over the New Year period. From the 1st October each year almost all of Cornwall's beaches are dog friendly.  Go along to your favourite beach and give your four-legged friend a wonderful time.

Don't forget the ball!  Visit Dog Friendly Cornwall to see a list of all the beaches in Cornwall and their dog friendliness.
