Cornwall

Heading down on Sat 7th with the troops, planning on a pint or two with Stew & BigDave. We have some things planned but it’s been 30 years since i’ve Ventured into Pasty Land so open to suggestions/ideas on keeping the kids entertained (2x 11, 10 & 8).
Staying at Retalack then onto Mousehole over 11 days.
Your input as ever appreciated.
 Paul.

Are you looking for beaches, surfing, zoo/animal, gardens etc - any pets going with you?

No pets, just SWMBO & kids. Eden Project on the list, beach if weather holds, other than that open to suggestions

Hi Paul, hope you're well mate.

Minack is nice if there is something on you would like to watch. Worth going when the weather is good, but can get a bit chilly in the evenings.

https://www.minack.com/

Godrevey lighthouse is worth a look if you like looking at Seals. You can park in one of the National Trust car parks, then head up the hill to the top and look over the barrier where loads of seals sleep on the beach. Usually a few in the water as well. Kids might like it. Nice little short walk around past the lighthouse as well, and nice view over towards Hayle and St Ives.

https://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/ShowUserRevi...gland.html

Obviously plenty of nice beaches about.

The Camel Trail can be a bit of fun if you're taking bikes, or you can rent them at either Wadebridge or Bodmin. Cycle to Padstow is a nice flat easy ride, but different lengths depending on where you start. Fish and chips etc or plenty of other places for a spot of lunch. When I was a youngen, I used to like going on one of the speed boats which runs out of Padstow harbour. Just a speedboat ride out in the bay. Looks like the are still using the same boats.

I am from Cornwall so grew up down there. Will add anything else I think of!

Enjoy

And if you like seafood, get yourself in here, although you need to book and its usually a long waiting list

Only things you need to pack are shorts, bikes, surfboards, prawning nets and crablines and a packet of bacon! Kids will occupy themselves subsequently!
Enjoy! If you see Demelza tell her i’m Waiting for her! Very Happy
