We bought our first Treasure Trail ahead of a recent day out in Broadstairs and what a bonus it turned out to be. It was an excellent way to explore the town and having to follow a route and look for answers to clues made it an interesting and enjoyable experience into the process. The questions were not overly taxing although there were a few that made you think but it did make you explore the town a little more. It suggests the route would take about two hours, which it is most likely to do, but it took us about four hours by the time we visited antique shops, art shops, coffee shops and took photos along the way! It certainly enhanced our day out and we will certainly invest in another Treasure Trail on a future day out.

Absolutely phenomenal value for money and wonderful way to spend a few hours. We visited the brewery on a rainy Tuesday with very little expectation and were delighted to find a warm and friendly staff to greet us with a pint awaiting. The quality of the beer is beyond reproach and both the tour guide Louise (the daughter of the CEO no less) and the barman, Jason were flawless. By far the best value for money of any distillery or brewery tour I have ever done. Cannot recommend enough.

5. Llama Lland
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 124 reviews
Nestled in the centre of the Cornish countryside only three miles from Truro, Llama Lland is set within our 140-acre farm. This farm has been in the Tripp family for over one hundred years. Established in 2001, Llama Lland is renowned for its quality and enjoyment factor. Due to the growing popularity in Llamas and being a one of a kind business in Cornwall, Llama Lland has become a sought-after attraction for those looking for a natural experience in the beautiful countryside. The friendly, relaxed atmosphere makes Penare Farm the perfect place for a peaceful walk with our Llamas. With the surrounding hills and amazing views your experience will be fun and enjoyable!

Definitely a unique experience visiting Llama Land. After mistakenly arriving at the wrong farm 200 yards away, we called Tom who directed us to the entrance. Seems its a common issue, but one he is looking to resolve. Tom introduced himself and set out the plan for the 3 hour experience. He then led us to the main barn where the Llamas were waiting patiently. He passionately explained the names and personalities of each llama and tried to match you up for the walk with a llama that fitted your personality and confidence with handling the animals. On the lovely cross-country walk (wellies or good walking boots advised!) we were kept entertained by our own and each others llama's - as well as Tom's amusing stories! After the walk, we were taken to another section of the farm to meet the other female llamas and the baby ones, and spent some time learning about the breeding and their names and habits - Tom is clearly very passionate about what he does. After this we were led to a larger barn, which is clearly being converted into a cafe/picnic area where he had laid on sandwiches, salads, scones and other snacks - all included in the price. It was a brilliant 3 hours, and although initially we had wondered about the price tag, Tom works really hard to make sure you get value for money. It would be great to see this experience grow but hopefully also retain it's unique feel. Thanks Tom!

Philleigh Way is a cookery school based in south Cornwall that also offers unique dining experiences. Bordering the river Fal with the ocean a few miles away this balanced landscape of arable fields, pasture and ancient oak woodland is an inspirational place to learn about food and its provenance. The cookery school is run by brothers-in-law James Martin and chef George Pascoe who belongs to the fifth generation of Pascoes to hail from Court Farm, Philleigh, Cornwall. Their Next Generation Farmhouse Cookery style is inspired by recipes handed down over the generations, fantastic local produce and experience gained working in some of the top kitchens in Cornwall and around the globe. Their creativity, knowledge and enthusiasm make it the perfect place to reconnect with the land and sea, learn some old and new recipes and cook with some of the freshest seasonal ingredients Cornwall has to offer.

From the moment you arrive in unspoiled, beautiful, rural Philleigh you just know you are going to experience cooking with a difference. It is surrounded by an abundance of woodlands and the local produce is exceptional quality. When I drove up to cookery school, the smell of the outside smoking (catering size) bbq was such a welcome addition!!! I knew straight away that the south east asian cooking class was going to be a memorable one. Having recently done a cookery course with Jamie Oliver and Waitrose in central London, Philleigh Cookery School is up there with a wealth of modern dishes and incredible talent. Rupert is eager to share with you all his worldly culinary knowledge and give great tips that are game-changers in the kitchen. Rupert has an incredible range of knowledge not only about every food known to man, (galangal is now a staple at home) but also about Cornwall itself. I would highly recommend taking a weekend Philleigh Cookery Course, all the dishes I made there have somehow worked their magic into so many of my usual dishes too. I am now fully stocked with tips and new gadgets that are not just gathering dust!!!
