Hey there, fellow adventurers! If you're heading to Cornwall with your little ones, get ready for some serious fun in the sun (or rain - hey, this is England after all!). Cornwall is full of opportunities for active kids to get moving and explore, and I'm here to give you the lowdown on the best things to do!
First up, let's talk beaches. Cornwall is famous for its stunning coastline, and there's no shortage of sandy spots for your little ones to run wild on. Some of our favourites include Fistral Beach, Praa Sands, and Porthcurno Beach. And if your little ones are feeling extra adventurous, why not try your hand at surfing? Cornwall is one of the best places in the UK to catch some waves, and there are plenty of surf schools around to help you and the kids get started.
If you're looking for something a bit more structured, Cornwall has no shortage of adventure parks and activity centres. From the towering slides of Flambards Theme Park to the treetop adventures of Go Ape, there's something to suit every age and interest. And for the ultimate adrenaline rush, why not try your hand at coasteering? This thrilling activity involves exploring the coastline by jumping, swimming and climbing your way along the rocks and cliffs. Don't worry, you'll be in the safe hands of a qualified guide!
For a more relaxed day out, Cornwall has plenty of family-friendly attractions that will keep your little ones entertained. The Eden Project is a must-visit, with its giant biomes and interactive exhibits showcasing the wonders of the natural world. And if your kids are animal lovers, they'll love meeting the residents of Newquay Zoo or taking a boat trip to spot dolphins and seals in their natural habitat.
And of course, no trip to Cornwall would be complete without a bit of history and culture. Explore the ruins of Tintagel Castle, said to be the birthplace of King Arthur, or discover the mining heritage of the county at Geevor Tin Mine. And for a taste of Cornwall's artistic side, head to the Tate St Ives or the Barbara Hepworth Museum and Sculpture Garden.
So there you have it, folks - a whole host of ideas to keep your active kids entertained during your visit to Cornwall. Just remember to pack your sunscreen and your sense of adventure - you're in for a wild ride!
