Cornwall’s Must-Visit Attractions Revealed – One Surges by 1,900% in Interest!

Cornwall’s top tourist destinations have been ranked, with the Eden Project taking the number one spot after a 1,900% surge in interest across the UK. The spike is linked to growing anticipation for the upcoming Eden Project Morecambe in Lancashire, but with delays pushing its opening to 2027, holidaymakers looking for an eco-experience are being encouraged to visit the original Eden Project in Cornwall instead.

UK holiday provider Parkdean Resorts has revealed the most popular attractions in Cornwall, based on TikTok search trends, giving visitors a guide to the best places to explore in 2025.

Just a 24-minute drive away, visitors can stay at White Acres, a holiday park surrounded by Cornish countryside, offering easy access to the Eden Project and nearby beaches.
