You will find lots to keep the family entertained here including a traditional skittle alley, rifle range and pistol shooting, crazy golf and table football to name but a few. There is also a restaurant offering great value family food. Ample parking but it is advisable to book at busy times.
Follow in the footsteps of 18th Century Cornish tin miners - this is 'the only complete tin mine in Cornwall open for underground guided tours'. If you love Cornwall, it's nigh time you investigated the very ground it's built upon. It's an international destination of historical interest with a 'labyrinth of levels, caverns, adits, stopes, tunnels and shafts'. You should get your headlamp on and go investigate.
Gardens don't get much more chilled out than this; laze in a hammock, take a snooze among the trees or take tea in the glasshouse. Potager was selected for Alistair Sawdays' 'Slow England' guide for its uniquely calm atmosphere - soak it up and enjoy the beautiful, relaxed surroundings. If you are careful with your carbon footprint and arrive on foot, bike or on the bus, entry is free to the garden!
A 15th Century Tudor house. Inside you'll find displays of armour, weapons, old horse-drawn vehicles and maps.
One of the biggest theme parks in the south west; with so much going on, you'll hardly know where to begin.
Previously known as The National Seal Sanctuary, abandoned and injured seals are brought here to be nursed and rehabilitated before being released back into Cornish waters. Feeding time is always quite a spectacle.
If you fancy a thrill - an On or Off-Road Segway Safari is sure to give most people an exhilarating experience!
Follow the signs past the main gate of RNAS Culdrose and you will find the viewing enclosure, giving panoramic views across the airfield of the largest helicopter airbase in Europe. Not much flying takes place for 3 weeks during August because of summer holidays!
This ancient farmstead above the Helford River has been carefullly restored and converted into a gallery and sculpture garden, creating a centre for the arts in a beautiful rural setting. Exhibitions at the gallery change monthly. Each show has a programme of associated events and workshops.
The artefacts here sprawl across two floors and five halls. Well laid out, the museum charts the social history of the area with evocative exhibitions.
