What months in spring do you intend to visit the area.
The coastline can be spectacular as opposed to the landscape.
Roads are narrow you need patience as a car driver if you
are in a hurry. There is also the consideration of road conditions
due to normal weather patterns for the time of year to bear in mind.
Lots of ice mists etc. Fog can be a nightmare if travelling on the motor
ways into/out the area especially in night conditions. I do not wish to
frighten you off. These things can be all part of potentially great
experience.
.
You will be travelling at a time which may be out side the tourist
season which usually slowly kicks off at Easter which might restrict
some of your ambitions. To enjoy the Cornwall coast line it really
means walking and been windswept.The coast is lined with lots
of old fishing villages and really wonderful bays and coves. Life
is very laid back in these places and the villages reflect very much
this aspect of life. On visits to these places there is not much to do
other than enjoy the sights.

If you are finding your way down to Redruth via London it is
quite a journey and maybe worthwhile considering an overnight stop
on route. ie if travelling from London stay overnight at Exeter
You should look up the tourist board for the area on the internet
via the Tourism Britain. You will have to go off main routes to get
at specific coastal areas a lot of the time and this can be time
costly

The A30 road is the key to your travels in Cornwall. Falmouth and
Truro These places are worth a visit if weather is bad a lot of
things to do and see if opened. alongside Lizard Point and Lands End plus
St Ives Bay Boswell Tintagel (King Arthur) for the Atlantic air.

An important consideration which you need to think about are
the general weather conditions you may encounter from day to day
which could restrict your enjoyment of sight seeing etc.

For a quick reference you should look at the BBC home page to
read about the recent weather conditions. in Cornwall.
