Lucky you, wish I was going too, here are just some of my favoriots:

The Lost Gardens of Heligan (huge gardens restored to former glory, will take a whole day)

Lands End is a must (although you have to pay, there is plenty for you to see)

Watergate Bay (just outside of Newquay a 3 mile long beautiful golden beach it doesnt cost anything)

Newquay Zoo

Boscastle (village of the awful floods a couple of years ago but still a beautiful & livley, also has a witchcraft museum)

Tintagle (full of magical history about King Arthur & Merlin)

Marazion - St Michales Mount (fab day out , if the tide is high you can get a boat to the mount, at low tide you can walk across the causeway)

Padstow (the home of Rick Stein & his resturants, a beautiful little harbour village that is always busy)

Truro (Cornwall's cathedral city, beautiful to walk around and the cathedral has a great cafe at the back run by the church)

Pendennis Castle (built by Henry 8th with superb views & some times activity days where they shoot the cannons & dress up)

Cornish Cider Farm (see the day to day activities of making cider, there is a farm & cider tasting for the adults YUM)

Strawberry picking

Also get to the beaches, they are amongst some of the most beautiful in the UK and they cost you nothing for the whole day (ok maybe parking).

Above all have fun, make some great memories and enjoy Cornwall! Get in touch if you want anymore info!

Depends on which part you are going to but I'd recommend the Lost Gardens of Heligon and, of course, the Eden Project. If you happen to drive down the Roseland Peninsula then call in at the church in St Just in Roseland. The church is right on the waters edge and the churchyard is like a botanical garden!

As well as what others have said:

Goonhilly Satellite Earth Station .... really interesting ... you can watch world news being beamed around the globe among other things.

Gweek seal sanctuary - where injured or orphaned seals and sea lions are treated before being returned to the wild.
