The Tinners Arms has been around for over 700 years and was first built in 1271.
Punters will find it the small village of Zennor and along what has been called the 'world's most beautiful road' by CornwallLive.
This is the stretch of road between St Ives and Land's End, at the very tip of Cornwall.
Along the route, drivers and walkers along the South West Coast Path will get views of the stunning Cornish beaches and rolling countryside.
As for The Tinners Arms, it's been highlighted for it's beautiful beer garden too, which has been called one of the best to have a drink on a summers day.
In the walled garden filled with bright flowers and greenery is lots of picnic tables and even more fantastic views.
For ale drinkers, The Tinners Arms sells "legendary Tinners and Mermaid Ales" and "refreshing Zennor lager".
Other drinks include wine, craft lagers and ciders from local vineyards like Polgoon Penzance or Godrevy Gold from St. Ives.
The popularity of the pub has been confirmed by Tripadvisor where the pub has over 400 'excellent' rated reviews.
One visitor wrote: "A very welcome rest stop after walking the South West Coast Path from St Ives. Friendly service, great location, good beer."
Another added: "Popped in for dinner whilst on a road trip and discovered a hidden gem. Had a couple of drinks and food. Both were outstanding."

One even took a pit stop while going along the beautiful road: "We stopped off on our way around the gorgeous Lands End to St Ives road and are so glad we did and found this wonderful, cosy, really old Cornish pub."
The Tinners Arms has plenty of food too and are known for serving very fresh fish which has come in from Newlyn fishing port, so here's lots of fresh crab and mackerel dishes.
The village of Zennor is famous for its local mermaid legend and even has carvings depicting the myth on the side of St. Senara's Church.
Zennor was also one of the last places where traditional Cornish was spoken.
There's also a floating beer garden in Cornwall, at the Pandora Inn, where picnic tables float on a pontoon that sits out on the Restronguet Creek in Falmouth.
It goes up and down with the tide meaning that in high tide, punters can literally sit on the water.
The 13th century inn even has its own mooring pontoon where people can park their boats.
In 2023, the pub was included among eight other pubs listed by The Times for its unique setting to enjoy a pint.
And one of the UK's oldest beach bars to open new rooftop terrace in time for summer.
Plus, the best riverside pubs across the UK including a moored boat and one 'that feels like the south of France.

The pretty Greek island ‘frozen in time' with long-living locals and natural hot springs
Read on to find out how to get to the idyllic island ISLE GO The pretty Greek island 'frozen in time' with long-living locals and natural hot springs GREEK islands are known as some of the most beautiful holiday destinations in Europe, but one in particular has crystal clear hot springs and festivals with feasts. Named after the Greek myth of Icarus where a boy fell into the see after flying too close to the sun and burning his wings, Ikaria is actually closer to Turkey than it is to mainland Greece. 6 The island of Ikaria in Greece is home to many pretty beaches including Seychelles Beach (pictured) Credit: Alamy 6 Nas Beach (pictured) is another pretty spot with quaint tavernas nearby Credit: Alamy Win one of 8 incredible holidays to the Caribbean, Mexico and Greece by voting in The Sun's Travel Awards - enter to win here The stunning island located in the northeastern Aegean Sea was recently named as one of the best Greek islands to explore in 2025, by Lonely Planet. Known for being one of the world's five 'Blue Zones', Ikarian residents supposedly live longer than anywhere else in the world, often reaching the age of 90 or even 100-years-old. The low rates of disease among Ikarians is down to their relaxed lifestyle, focused on local and seasonal foods such as fruits, vegetables and grains. The island is home to a rugged and wild landscape with great hiking spots such as Halari Gorge and for centuries, locals were believed to have hid in rock houses scattered across the hills to avoid pirate attacks. In addition to the breathtaking landscape, the island isn't short of stunning beaches to explore either. Close to the village of Armenistis, the nudist-friendly Nas Beach appears "frozen in time" according to and it was the site of one of the island's earliest settlements. The beach used to be home to a temple to the Goddess Artemis, a patroness of sailors, but today only the foundations remain. After relaxing on the pebble beach and enjoying the cascading waterfall head to one of the tavernas perched on the cliff edge. One spot, Tavern Nas, boasts breathtaking views of the ocean and serves traditional Greek dishes such as katsikomakaronada (goat spaghetti) and fresh salads with olives and feta. Holiday Park in UK village that looks like Greece If you fancy a pint, it will only set you back €4 (£3.46). For a more family-friendly spot, Livadi Beach near to Armenistis features golden sand and calm, shallow waters. Alternatively, on the south coast of the island travellers will find Seychelles Beach with marble pebbles and crystal clear waters - making the hike to the spot worth it. Hence the name, the beach feels and looks like ones found in the Seychelles in the western Indian Ocean. The beach can be reached via a path that descends to a riverbed and it takes about 20 minutes to walk from the nearby parking. Just under two miles away is the village of Manganitis, home to around 150 locals. The village has a few different tavernas and cafes to stop at, including Taverna Apostolis, a family-ran spot with fresh, locally caught fish and Ikarian goats cheese. For historical sites, on the eastern end of the island is the Tower of Drakano - a 13.5 metre tall watchtower dating back to the fourth century. The tower is made of giant marble blocks and was formerly part of the ancient city of Drakano, one of four cities that used to stand on Ikaria. 6 Across the island there are many towns and villages to explore Credit: Alamy Visitors can head to the historical site for free and the easiest way to get there is by walking from the nearby village of Faros along the Path of the Athera hiking trail. Another short walk from the tower, you will find Agios Georgios Beach, a more secluded sandy beach with less wind than at Nas Beach and Seychelles Beach. In the island's capital on the southeastern coast, Agios Kirykos, tourists will find the main port with ferries to the mainland and other islands. Around this area hot mineral springs are common as well. Asclepious spring, for example, is near the central square and is believed to have healing properties for several illnesses including respiratory diseases and arthritis. The water is around 40C and can be visited via Asclepius Spa. 6 The capital of the island is called Agios Georgios and features a hot spring and a couple of museums Credit: Alamy If you are looking for other hot springs spots on the island though, you won't be short for choice. In the town of Therma, there is The Apollon Spa and The Cave Spa. At The Apollon Spa, there are 26 treatment rooms, a hot tuband a sauna - in addition to the spring - with prices from €4.50 (£3.90). Then at The Cave Spa, visitors can enjoy a natural sauna located inside a cave and two indoor hot tubs, with prices between €3 (£2.60) and €4.50 (£3.90). It is also in Agios Kirykos where the Archeological Museum can be found as well as the Folklore Museum with over 1,500 artefacts that reflect the history of Ikaria. 6 The island also features rugged mountains and hills, where visitors will find a family-ran winery Credit: Alamy Throughout the year, the island hosts a number of events including 'Panagiria', which are traditional feast days that celebrate different Saints' days and religious holidays. The celebrations involve traditional food, music, drinking Ikarian wine and performing the Ikariotikos dance. On the note of wine from the island, you can also explore the Afianes Family Winery located in Ikaria's hills which is free to visit. If you do head to the winery, look out for the 'pythostasi' - where wine is stored underground in jars and there is a large stone grape press. The island has its own airport, with flights direct from Athens (40 minutes) and Heraklion (50 minutes). If you hop on a flight from Athens, you can expect it to set you back €41 (£35.50) to €115 (£99.58) each way. Or you can hop on a Blue Star or SeaJets ferry, it takes between six and eight hours to reach Ikaria from Athens, with prices from £90 for a return trip. Once on the island, the best way to get around is by using a hire car. As for places to stay on the island, there is plenty of choice such as Erofili Beach Hotel from £57 per night, which perches above the sea and has traditional Greek charm. Or for something more luxury, head to Cavos Bay from £68 per night, just a three-minute walk from the beach and home to sea-facing terraces.

Little-known theme park is one of the best in the UK with barely any queues and new alpaca walks
Read on to find out about a ride at the park that is the only one of its kind in the world PARK IT UP Little-known theme park is one of the best in the UK with barely any queues and new alpaca walks Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) FOUND below one of the UK's highest mountain ranges is a theme park with a human-powered rollercoaster and a solar-powered splash. While GreenWood family park located in Y Felinheli, below Mount Snowdon in North Wales, does not feature high-tech rides you'd expect to find at Thorpe Park, the little-known attraction claims to have "something for everyone". Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 5 GreenWood is home to the world's only human-powered rollercoaster Credit: Alamy Win one of 8 incredible holidays to the Caribbean, Mexico and Greece by voting in The Sun's Travel Awards - enter to win here Whilst it sounds impossible, this includes the Green Dragon Rollercoaster - the world's only human-powered coaster. Visitors must head on a funicular that takes them to a lower station, but in turn the weight of the cabin full of passengers brings the empty rollercoaster up to a higher station. The riders will then walk from the lower funicular station, back up the hill to the rollercoaster that then uses gravity to propel itself along the 250 metre track and 360-degree horizontal loop. The park also has the first solar-powered ride in the UK, which features a two-chute water slide around 60 metres long. Solar panels that generate electricity are used to power the water pumps for this ride. Unusual attractions in the park don't stop there though - the park has the Enchanted River Ride as well, where riders propel themselves along a river using ropes and paddle, seeing mystical creatures as they go. For a sensory experience there is the BareFoot Trail, dubbed to be the first of its kind in Wales. Visitors walk barefoot through different terrains including sand, straw, timber and water. Elsewhere at the TripAdvisor Traveller's Choice Award 2025 attraction, visitors can also head on a dry version of sledging, TreeTop Towers with netted walkways and tube slides and the Forest Glider - a 75 metre 'slide' in rubber rings. Why Carmarthenshire makes the perfect family hol Smaller children can enjoy the Tunnel Warren, Dragon Maze, mini diggers and tractors and a giant jumping pillow as well. At Cwtch Corner, families can interact with farm animals and learn about their habitats, including goats, ducks, pigs, guinea pigs and rabbits. New for this year, the park also has some alpacas that families can opt to go on a walk with through the 17 acre forest park, by booking in advance. Don't miss the Snowdon View Point either, with panoramic views of Wales' largest mountain range. And if the weather isn't ideal, then the park has an indoor Enchanted WoodBarn with soft play and a special area for children under the age of three. You do need to pay a fee to access the soft play, which is £3.50 per adult and £6 per child. Inside the WoodBarn is a cafe as well, selling family favourites like Welsh beef burgers for £11.80 and jacket potatoes from £7.25. For parents wanting a brew whilst the kids play, coffee and tea aren't expensive, ranging between £3.20 and £4.20. 5 And there are multiple different play features to explore across the park Credit: Greenwood Family Park If out and about in the park, there are food shacks as well, like Snowdon Snacks that serves a range of hot food including hot dogs and has a covered seating area. Or you could head to the Forest and Solar Treat Shacks for sweet treats including ice cream. Until the end of August the family park is running the 'Festival of Fun' with live music and entertainment such as circus skills workshops and arts and crafts sessions - all included in the ticket price. Make sure to check out a show, including magic acts, at the Forest Theatre too. Admission costs £25 for guests over one metre tall and £10 for those under a metre tall. Though, if you book through Picniq, you can grab tickets for £20 for visitors over a metre tall, and £7.50 for those under a metre tall. Or you could purchase a group of four tickets, for guests all over one metre tall, for £74. One visitor recently said on TripAdvisor: "[There's] something for everyone, from toddlers to teens (and adults too!) Another added: "It's a fun, affordable, and genuinely enriching day out for all ages, and we'll definitely be back if we are in the area." 5 There is a solar-powered water ride as well Credit: Google maps A third noted: "We didn't really queue for anything." The main park is open between 10am and 5pm each day. Visitors can also extend their stay at the park, by staying at the GreenWood Tipi Glamping. The site features hot showers and a fully-equipped communal kitchen. Inside the tipis, guests will find a log burner and real beds. Then outside each tipi is a barbeque and a seating area. Four of the tipis sleep up to six people and the remaining two sleep up to four people and a one-night stay starts from £95. There's no need to leave your four-legged friend at home either, as each family is allowed "two well-behaved dogs" for a fee of £30 per dog. 5 And if you want to extend your stay, there are tipis on the site Credit: Instagram/@greenwood_f_p Using GreenWood as a base, there are plenty of other areas to explore nearby including Mount Snowdon itself, Zip World and Conwy Castle. The nearby village of Y Felinheli, sits on the Menai Strait submerged valley and has some pubs and cafes to explore as well. Wales is a great holiday destination with great family attractions for all types of British weather. Plus, Wales is home to the UK's biggest underground 'theme park' in caves – and it's twice the size of St Paul's.

Holidaymaker hit with hefty fine parking car in tourist hotspot 'parking space'
Tourists in a Cornish village are getting fined for parking in what look like designated spaces — but there's a hidden catch that's left many furious and confused. A holidaymaker has declared it's a "sad day for tourism" after he and fellow visitors were slapped with fines for parking in bays at a Cornish village car park which are no longer actually designated spaces. Dan Down claims that there are no warning signs alerting drivers that several bays in Cornwall Council-owned Cawsand car park have been scrapped - despite the painted markings still being clearly visible. The authority recently re-marked spaces in the 139-bay car park on the Rame Peninsula but chose not to restore around seven bays, aiming to improve vehicle circulation. Yet the previous markings remain visible, causing motorists to park in them - only to be hit with penalty notices. Mr Down, who has been visiting Cawsand for more than two decades and had returned for a break with his wife, young son and extended family, left his car in one of the defunct parking bays on Sunday (August 17) unknowingly and came back to discover a £50 penalty notice, which drops to £25 if settled within a fortnight. He has no plans to pay up. He told CornwallLive: "It's a sad day for tourism in Cawsand when council parking wardens hand out tickets for not parking in a parking space. Clearly I was along with many others. "There were six or seven other people who parked in similar spaces in the car park who all said, 'if you turn up and see what looks like a parking space with white lines, it's a parking space'. There's no signage either side of the car park or on the parking meters saying 'do not park there'. The lines are clearly still visible." Mr Down, from Wiltshire, who has contested the fine, stated: "If they don't want people parking there they should have signs up saying that and they should burn off the lines. I'm quite happy to go to court and argue it. I've got nothing to lose. "There was a lady parked next to me with a Land River Discovery who was really miffed. She said, 'I'm going to pass this on to my solicitor'. She said, 'if I go into a car park and see a boxed area, unless there's signs or burnt off lines, why would I not park there?'. "Everyone I've spoken to in the area has said how strange it is. The odd person's said it's because I parked like a tit and wasn't straight in the space, but that's not the case. It puts you off coming back to places like this." Cllr Kate Ewert, Cornwall Council's Labour councillor for the area, said she was aware - though hadn't been notified by the council - that the car park had been relined, although spaces which are no longer spaces have not been erased meaning faint white lines are still visible. "It's causing some confusion," she admitted, hinting that those affected might stand a good chance of getting their fines overturned. A spokesperson for Cornwall Council said: "Following recent relining works at Cawsand car park, several parking bays were intentionally not reinstated to ensure that vehicles can move freely around the site. We are aware that some of the older markings may still be visible - although they are faded compared to the new lines - and are taking steps to make it clear that these are no longer designated parking spaces. "We will review any representation from motorists who believe they may have had a notice issued to them on this basis. Anyone in this position is encouraged to follow the representation process outlined on the back of their notice."
