First time foot-golfer dad with a 8 and 15 year old had a great couple if hours at this well kept imaginative course. A busy half term day but plenty of space and no waiting. Professional engaging staff and friendly mowing man make this a must-do trip for families and adult groups. Really good value as well

Hidden away is this sanctuary where they care for many an animal, some of rare breed. A small play area also, and a walk through the overgrowth to view birds and animals (wallabies included) in something approaching their natural habitat. You'll never be able to make a full day of it, but well worth a morning spent

Trek through the world's largest indoor rainforest, take in the sights and smells of our Mediterranean Biome, and explore our huge outdoor Gardens. At the Eden Project you'll discover the fascinating relationships between plants and people. You'll also find a full calendar of family events throughout the year and music festivals in the summer. As an educational charity we run transformational social and environmental projects locally and internationally.
It IS a great place BUT the entry fee is way too much. £100 for four of us, reduced to £83 by booking in advance. Photos were taken of three adults but not the child, no explanation was given for this. Not impressed by the rude/ grumpy staff. Girl on cafe till didn't smile at us, say hello, please OR thank you. Either time we bought food. Gift shop staff were the same. Only a couple of the staff serving the food were really nice and the food was good.

Mackerel Fishing Trips Mevagissey Spend your time aboard Aquila, Mackerel fishing off the beautiful fishing port of Mevagissey. You can actually be out on the sea, instead of just sitting and watching those lucky people who are! Everything you need is already there - just step aboard and start enjoying yourself. If you don't know how to fish, then don't worry - our skipper and crew will always be on hand to show you how it's done. We also offer Deep sea wreck fishing. Reef fishing and shark fishing.
Chris got us on board and under way quickly as he knew dolphins were in the bay. He found them for us and it was an amazing experience, particularly for the children aboard. Then on to searching for fish which again chris found for us. We all caught some and took a few back to the campsite to bbq. This was one of the best trips we've ever done. 9 & 12 year old loved it. Felt very safe and chris is a great teacher with patience of a saint! Would do it again if in the area.

The Eden Project is also within riding distance, we have details on the routes to take please view our website.
A large selection of well-maintained bikes, and friendly and knowledgable staff who had no problem in instantly selecting bike sizes suitable for our four-person party. The premises are right on NCR 3, with good non-traffic cycle paths to St Austell, Heligan Gardens and Mevagissey. The hill down from Heligan is awesome to cycle down. For £10 per bike (plus £1 for helmet) this was a good-value half-day activity. Locks can also be provided free-of-charge.
Following the cycling, Pentewan Beach is an excellent place to cool off, and the village contains a couple of good cafes. Ice cream and coffee can also be bought from the cycle hire base.

We viewed this amazing ruined chapel from the comfort of ground level. There is not very much of the ruins, but the way they are perched precariously on the top of the rock outcrop is an amazing sight. The thought of how the original builders carried up the granite blocks is a feat to be wondered at. If we ever return, maybe we will have the courage to climb the rocks up to the ruin.

Knightor is a working winery, wedding & events venue near St Austell.

We produce premium quality red, white & sparkling wines, as well as our very own Cornish Vermouth. We offer guided tours and tastings throughout the year, as well as feasts and other exciting events.
The overall place is beautiful. The roast was bought out on a plate and everyone could help themselves. The quality of the vegetables was amazing and the beef was cooked perfectly! I would 150% recommend going here for a roast its well worth the money and the atmosphere is good and the staff!

Polkerris Beach combines an idyllic sandy Cornish cove with first class Water Sports facilities. It's as good for a day trip as it is for a two-week holiday or intensive Water Sports course. From the smallest sandcastle-building toddler to the seasoned watersport enthusiast, there is something for everyone here. Picture this - a sheltered, sandy beach in a small village, self-catering accommodation just up the lane, no through traffic, a beach shop and café, equipment rental so you don't have to lug everything with you and personalised windsurfing and sailing courses at our award-winning, RYA Recognised Training Centre. Round that off with a beer in the Rashleigh Inn as the sun sets and you have the makings of the perfect Cornish beach scene - or dine in style at 'Sam's on the Beach' which has proved extremely popular since it opened in 2009.
This really is a beachfor all the family. The sand is wonderful for building sand Castles andother structures - not just for the children - and the surf is the number one attraction - both to take part and to observe. The lifeguards are very efficient and always watchful to see that people stick to the designated area for the all those people venturing into the water.
