Perhaps your New Year's Resolution is to keep fit? If so, why not brave the waters for charity, take the children ice-skating at one of the county's most iconic attractions or walk one of the most beautiful coastal paths in the country? Whatever you do, you can be sure it will clear your head and get you ready for the year ahead!
Take a look at our top picks for things to do on New Year’s Day for the whole family.
Brave an icy dip
For the ultimate way to start the New Year, take the plunge with a New Year’s Day dip at Newquay Harbour. This event raises money for charity and is a great way to blast off the cobwebs and start 2016 refreshed and energised.
Ice skating at Eden
Continue the festive fun with a visit to The Eden Project. Enjoy a fascinating stroll through the biomes and relish in an exciting skate on the indoor ice rink. You can enjoy this experience right into the New Year with skating available until 28th February.
Walk the South West Coast Path
