Cornwall is the ideal location for family days out and holidays. With over 300 miles of coastline and rolling green hills, Cornwall has a massive range of water and land based activities for big kids and little ones alike. Here are our top five favourite family days out…
The Lost Gardens of Heligan
This magical network of gardens, woodland walks and farmland offers modern kids the chance to immerse themselves in nature. The Jungle takes them on a sub-tropical journey through bamboo tunnels and across a Burmese rope bridge, while there are moss-covered giants to discover in the ground. Perfect for toddlers and young children, whose imaginations and run as wild as they do!
Flambards
Flambards, near Helston is Cornwall’s finest with thrill rides, complete with a brand new Jurassic Journey Trail, guaranteed to keep the dinosaur hunters of the family happy! As well as an award-winning undercover exhibitions such as the Victorian Village and Ferdi’s Fun Zone, which is useful when the rain comes down.
There’s nothing like messing about in water to keep kids amused. The River Fal is winding and wooded the perfect place to explore hidden creeks and tree covered alcoves, popular methods of transport are canoe or boat, both of which can be hired on the river bank
The Eden Project
One of Cornwall’s most popular attractions, help the conservation effort and take in the sights of the worlds largest indoor rain forest. Now also home to the largest zip wire in England, and coming soon in 2016 a Perfume Garden
National Maritime Falmouth
Sail model boats, portend to take part in search and rescue mission, see the helicopter, and learn all great maritime stories from the Vikings to Tony Bullimore. Great for all ages!
