  • There’s plenty to do, right on your doorstep, and if you fancy something other than the beach or the Moor, here’s a few suggestions:

    Crealy Great Adventure Park

    Explore 40,000 sq. ft. of indoor action to discover dragons, ghosts and surprises! Outside, scale the heights of the aerial walkways and climbing nets, glide down the bumpy slides and zip along on the super fast cable wire.

  • Courtroom Experience, Bodmin

    In 1844 on the windswept slopes of Rough Tor, Bodmin Moor, the body of a local girl, Charlotte Dymond was found. Matthew Weeks, her lover, was accused of her murder but was he guilty of this heinous crime? Act as a member of the jury and cast your vote. Guilty or not guilty? You decide.

    The Camel Trail

    One of the most popular recreational routes in the country, the Camel Trail runs from Padstow to Poley’s Bridge, via Wadebridge and Bodmin. The trail passes through the wooded countryside of the upper Camel Valley and alongside the picturesque Camel Estuary – a paradise for birdwatchers.

    The traffic free trail follows the route of an old railway and is ideal for family cycling as it is fairly level all the way and the views of moorland, woodland and estuary are spectacular. The trail is also used by walkers, joggers and horse-riders.

    The National Lobster Hatchery, Padstow

    The National Lobster Hatchery can be found on the docks of the picturesque Cornish fishing village of Padstow. Its aim is to help maintain a healthy lobsterpopulation in Cornwall through conservation, education and research, supported by a fun visitor centre and donations from sponsors and friends. Why not help and adopt a lobster?
