Brilliant and free! My 7 year old loved the pumpkin quiz and the toy section. The wedding dresses and old medicines were also great. We had a lovely morning looking around and the staff were lovely and friendly too. A huge plus was that it is dog friendly.

Loe Pool

Some people believe that King Arthur abandoned his sword Excalibur in Loe Pool, Cornwall's largest natural body of freshwater.

We visited on a quiet winters morning, parked in the national trust car park. It was a lovely walk down the hill to the lake, the stables were closed as it is out of season, yet we had some sandwiches with us and found a beautiful spot with a bench overlooking the lake, so peaceful and great for watching all the wildlife on the lake, could have spent hours there, will definitely return for another visit

Roskilly's

Roskilly’s are based at Tregellast Barton Farm on the Lizard Peninsula in Cornwall. We are a family run business milking 125 Jersey cows. Our small pastures have been farmed in a traditional and sustainable way for generations, and we have always farmed without the use of pesticides and artificial fertilizers. All of our delicious ice creams and hand crafted fudges are made using rich organic Jersey milk and cream from our own herd of Jersey cows. We also produce a range of jams and chutneys using old family recipes that have been handed down the generations. Our Farm and Café, the Croust House, is open all year round serving meals every day from breakfast, fresh salads to clay oven baked pizzas’ and American style smoked meats (summer months only). You can visit and feed all the farm animals: calves, pigs, goats, chickens, turkeys, geese & ducks. You can also go for a stroll around the ponds and withy woods and watch the milking at 10.00am

You get to see a working farm, watch milking and sample the product in the firm of ice cream- what more can you ask for! Chickens? Geese? Turkeys? Goats? Pigs? Yes they have them too and a lovely walk (bring wellies if it’s been raining!)

Mawgan Porth Beach

Reviewed By places2seeplaces2go - England, United Kingdom

Spent a week in North Cornwall in October2020 & just catching up with reviews. This was probably my favourite beach whilst on holiday in North Cornwall. Quite what makes a favourite I'm not sure as they are all stunning. At Morgan Porth on a sunny October day it was not busy, the tide was out & we walked for over an hour just exploring the beach & all the rock pools. As it was October it was easy to park. Like with many other cornish beaches I'm sure in the summer months things are completely different. Parking available & a few places to purchase food & drinks. Toilet facilities available. A really enjoyable few hours. Dog friendly when we visited in October.

Penrose

A stunning part of Cornwall to explore and enjoy. The National Trust care for the unique habitats found here, including Loe Pool the largest natural lake in Cornwall and the unusual shingle bank of Loe Bar. The rangers hold regular events and activities for all the family to enjoy. Stop off at The Stables Cafe, which is open every day through the summer and on weekends in winter, for delicious cake, coffee and light lunches.

We parked at Degibna NT car park and walked with the dogs around the largest freshwater lake in Cornwall. It was a comfortable walk and the dogs loved it. When we got to Loe bar the view was stunning. Lake on one side and the sea on the other. Other people’s dogs were swimming safely in the lake, ours had a paddle. We had a lunch break here and it made a perfect day. On the way back next to the car park there is a small chapel with a prayer garden which draws you in. Don’t pass this by as it’s a moment of thought you can have . Highly recommended this walk. Wear sensible shoes, take water etc and you will enjoy the day. It’s 2020 so single file when passing others or move to one side if necessary. Have a good day

Trevena Cross Nurseries

Trevena Cross is a nursery and garden centre based in West Cornwall. We have extensive undercover (and outdoor) space dedicated to the huge variety of fabulous plants, which we don’t just sell across the three acre garden centre, but grow ourselves, across 32 acres of nursery, also on the site. For those less ‘green fingered’, there is also a large gift department – one of the biggest in West Cornwall – full of beautiful things for the home, special friends, family, and little ones, as well as the The Garden Kitchen Cafe – the perfect place to stop and refuel with a cuppa, meal or naughty treat!

Porthleven Harbour

Reviewed By riccardobrooks - Leicester, United Kingdom

Lovely village and beach, love this place ... it has a hipster surfer vibe which is is a complementary contrast to the local area ... though hopefully doesn't go to far in future. The Ship is a great vantage point to watch the world go buy. The beach is also long (and on a pleasant September day) not too crowded.
