Cornwall is a fantastic place for a family holiday and Falmouth has everything you could want to keep your days packed full of activities, excitement and new adventures. On sunny days the beach is definitely the place to be, but no matter when you’re coming, there’s something for all age groups!
Family holidays:
Swanpool BEach
Its larger neighbour Gyllyngvase is hugely popular with families, but we really recommend Swanpool Beach for a day out with the family. As well as the beach, there’s crazy golf, bouncy castle, kayak hire, nature reserve and outdoor café at this friendly spot.
National Maritime Museum
Exhibitions cover the port’s history, wildlife, climate and delve deep into Falmouth’s maritime past, present and future. With 12 galleries set over three floors, there’s lots here to keep children interested and intrigued.
The Flicka Foundation Donkey Sanctuary
Founded in 1995, this sanctuary provides a safe home for more than 100 donkeys and horses, all of whom have been rescued from abuse, neglect and abandonment. They now love to see friendly faced visitors in their new home!
PEndennis castle
Take a step back in history at Pendennis Castle, built by Henry VIII and playing a role in Britain’s fight during both world wars. The castle stands on Pendennis Point, a headland well worth strolling around to see seabirds, seals and even dolphins on occasion.
Flambards Theme Park
Take the kids out to Flambards Theme Park in Helston for a fantastic family day out! From gentle rides to rollercoasters, there’s something for all ages at Flambards
Eden project
What trip to Cornwall would be complete without a trip to the Eden Project? About an hour’s drive from Ash Barn, the iconic biomes are host to the world’s largest indoor rainforest and make for a family day out to remember.
