Kynance Cove
Stunning National trust location, beautiful walk and small beach.
Godrevy has an amazing spot to see a Cove full of seals. Make sure you go on a low tide. Then head after to Treviskas Farm for the most amazing cakes. Children can also walk round the farm!

Absolutely stunning location. You park in a lady’s garden and will need cash to pay. It’s between £2-5 in the summer. It’s the most stunning location and a must visit!

Lovely costal walk, while seeing some ruins.
I could not add what this really is! But as well as it being a farm park. They have added a drive in Cinema now. For day and night. This place is about 2 miles away.

Really great place for walking a flat circular walk in the woods. It if your more adventurous you can head off on one of the harder tracks. It’s a pay and display car park there. And they do have a cafe at the car park as well.
Lovely walk for all ages.

Local beach about 2 miles away. Easy to park in a residential street opposite. Very very steep steps to get down to the beach ( although my 6 & 10 year old are fine)
Stunning cove, secluded. Nothing else there so take supplies. Great beach day away from the tourists. No life guards!

Great for kids of all ages. It’s hidden behind waterworld in newquay. You can park directly there, and there is a good van if you want to sit for an hour while kids hang out.

Lovely view, and nice food. It’s not amazing in my opinion. And the kids menu is not great. So if you have fussy kids it may not be for you. But they do had a pizza bar there and great for a drink!
