At the tip of south west England, Cornwall is a land of rugged cliffs, beaches, quaint seaside towns, and country gardens. Cornwall is surrounded on 3 sides by water, the Atlantic Ocean on the north and west, and the English Channel to the south. Family vacations in Cornwall will be enjoyed by the entire family. The climate is mild and there are family activities galore.
Lots of outdoor activities can be enjoyed and the climate is mild. Over 300 beaches are open to swimming and surfing, sailing or kayaking. Fishing is still a daily activity in traditional harbor towns. There's also rock climbing, country gardens, and quaint towns to explore. Visit legendary castles, local museums, and art galleries.
Newquay beaches are favored by surfers. Rent a surf or body board from a local business. The zoo houses a diverse array of over 130 species of animals. The Blue Reef Aquarium is home to hundreds of sea creatures including sharks and penguins.
DairyLand Farm World houses lambs, rabbits, donkeys, piglets, a llama, storks, chinchillas, and chipmunks. Activities include bottle-feeding, pat-a-pet, and pony rides. See how life was lived at the Cornish Heritage Centre. There's also a playground and a Lamborghini hayride.
Trebah Garden is a 26 acre ravine descending 200' to the private and secluded Helford beach. It's a sub-tropical jungle with an extensive collection of rare shrubs and trees. Walk through a tunnel of giant rhubarb, 16 feet high. A stream and waterfall end at the beach where visitors can swim and picnic.
Eden Project Global Gardens is a trip around the world. Each dome houses the plant life from a climatically and geographically defined area. There's a gift shop and on-site restaurants and cafes. The Eden project gives us a glimpse into a sustainable future.
Theme parks are a kid favorite. Younger children will marvel at Hidden Valley Discovery Park. It's a magical adventure with a hunt for the lost crystal, a walk along a hobbit trail, mazes to wander, a secret garden to stroll, and a train to ride. Older kids will enjoy the thrilling rides at Crealy Great Adventure Park with it's roller coasters, raft and log rides. There's a toddler area for the little ones.
There are many castles steeped in legend and mystery. Tintagel Castle is where legend says King Arthur was born. The ruins are set high on a rugged coast offering spectacular views. Visit Merlin's Cave and enjoy a meal at the beach cafe.
St Michael's Mount is another charming castle, this one is intact today. Wander through the castle, walk the grounds and gardens. This castle is built on an island but when the tide is low, visitors can walk the causeway to the castle from Mounts Bay. There's also boat service available to the castle and the surrounding island community.
Walk or bike along the Camel Trail, 11 miles of level roadway easily accessible with strollers and wheelchairs. No vehicles allowed. The trail connects the quaint and picturesque towns of Wadebridge and Bodmin.
Find a local Tourist Information Centre for up-to-date information on local attractions and festivals. Stay at a hotel, a Bed & Breakfast, a cottage, or rent a camper van. Family vacations in Cornwall offer something for everyone. Live history as you stroll through quaint towns and country villages. There's outdoor activities, castles, museums, zoos, and theme parks.
