Aryan Patel

Absolutely stunning place. The view over the sea is unreal, honestly one of the best I’ve seen in Cornwall. The theatre built into the cliffs looks so unique and the whole area feels peaceful and special. Bit of walking and steps involved but fully worth it once you get there. Stayed for ages just enjoying the view.

A truly unique place with breathtaking ocean views. You could spend hours just sitting there, watching the waves and enjoying the peaceful atmosphere. The gardens are beautifully maintained, and it's clear how much care goes into looking after the whole site. Before you leave, make sure to stop by the café at the top for a really good coffee. Definitely one of the most memorable places to visit in Cornwall

the most beautiful theatre i’ve ever been to! the views were incredible! we got the cheapest tickets and the view was still good and we could see the whole stage! it does get quite cold in the evening so a lot of people had blankets and i’d recommend bringing something to sit on as we were sat on rocks which made us cold and they were quite uneven

What a fantastic place. A real hidden gem. The gardens are fantastic with beautiful views of the Atlantic. The theatre itself is a wonderful creation. We could have spend all day there admiring it's architecture. Must visit if your in Cornwall
