Places to visit in Cornwall with electric vehicle charging points
Cornwall is filled with great days out and attractions. Whether you’re looking to explore stunning natural landscapes, discover cultural attractions, or enjoy the local cuisine, you’re sure to find something to your taste here.
While the use of electric vehicles is on the rise, and access to charging points is improving month on month, finding charging locations can still be unpredictable.
Here are four places to visit in Cornwall offering a fun day out as well as electric vehicle accessibility.
The Eden Project
One of the most popular spots for a day trip in Cornwall, the Eden Project is a global garden that offers a chance to explore the natural world in a unique way.
The Eden Project presents various themed biomes and extensive outdoor gardens and is home to the world’s largest indoor rainforest. Wandering through the beautiful landscape makes for an intensely rich sensory experience.
Marvel at the butterflies, the scent of the rainforest and the sound of the waterfall. There are also British bird species that have begun to inhabit the outdoor gardens whose songs add to the special ambience of the environment.
Throughout the year, there are also performances, storytelling events, and art displays held against the beautiful backdrop of the gardens.
If you’re feeling peckish, head to one of the many catering outlets located on-site. A unique way to explore food, from the Biome Kitchen to the Med Terrace, the Eden Project strives to reflect the stories they tell in the exhibits in the food they serve.
The Eden Project has three electric vehicle charging points located in the Banana car park which are free to visitors. In the Melon car park is another charging point which visitors can pay to use.
