Cornwall Football Golf

FootballGolf uses the same rules as golf but players kick a football into a hole. Think Crazy golf or adventure golf but supersized and kicking a football ball instead of using a golf ball and putter. There are hazards and obstacles along the way which make the game fun and enjoyable for everyone and a great outdoor activity. Players have to kick around, through, over or under various obstacles. The game of FootballGolf is suitable for anyone 5 years old to 80 years old. We have two 18 hole courses set over 18 acres with stunning surroundings.

Enjoyed the hillside course so much, we came back a couple of days later to do the park course. Great fun for all (even non-footballers), pretty views and really well-maintained and thoughtfully laid out site, with and a dedicated, friendly, welcoming team! We’ll be back again, to try to improve our scores!

The Lost Gardens of Heligan

Heligan is one of the most mysterious estates in England. Lost to the brambles of time since the outbreak of WW1, this Sleeping Beauty was re-awakened in 1990 to become Europe’s largest garden restoration project. Today Heligan’s 200 acres are a paradise for the explorer, wildlife, plant lover and garden romantic.

Very interesting, it was lovely to see both historical and up to date parts all in these gardens, there are some very rugged areas so I recommend anyone planning a visit to wear good footwear, Exploring the gardens can be as exerting or relaxing as you like, Personally, I preferred these gardens to the Eden Project

Wheal Martyn

The Park tells the story of the men, women and children who lived worked and played in the shadow of the clay tips around St Austell. With a history dating from 1746 to the present the museum is situated next to a modern clay pit which can be seen from a spectacular viewing platform. Cafe and shop with Cornish produce.

Reviewed By DaveBAmersham - Little Chalfont, United Kingdom

As a visitor to the county I was totally unaware how important clay production is to the local economy in real terms. This site is a well designed homage to clay production as it is actually a disused clay pit with working equipment which shows the production process from start to finish. The visit starts with a walk through a museum which with artefacts, exhibits, photos and explanatory prose which starts the visit off perfectly. Most of non Cornish people are aware of copper and tin mining but not clay production. Well worth a visit.

As a family with young children, we make regular trips to this cinema to see all the latest releases of animated film. The seated areas are always spotlessly clean. In fact, the whole cinema is really well looked after. No complaints at all!

We chose to visit the Brewery on a slightly grey looking day, whilst on holiday in Cornwall. We called up on the morning and booked onto the 11:30am tour. We turned up just before 11 and decided to get some food in Hicks Bar. We had a meat pasty and posh fish finger sandwich. They were both very substantial meals and very tasty. We then headed for the tour with a fantastic, informative guide. We were really lucky to be the only ones on that time slot (I know the 12:30 was very busy!) so got a private tour. Our guide knew so much about the brewery and beer, and was engaging and happy to answer all of our questions. We’ve been on many brewery tours but our favourite part at St Austell’s was learning about the micro-brewing experiments they do and seeing the scale of the kegging and distribution! After the tour we headed for a tasting, which again was a real highlight of the trip. It was so nice to talk through the beers and try so many different types! We tried about 11/12 different beers, lagers, IPA’s etc which we felt was very generous to be included in the price of £15 each (which we also felt super reasonable considering the time we spent there and what was included). We would highly recommend visiting here, learning about the history and sampling the fantastic beers!

Such a well-cared-for, interesting attraction - you can't call it "a" garden as there are about ten small gardens to explore, each with its own theme. It is calm and quiet, and we enjoyed a couple of hours wandering around, taking photos and feeding the ducks. Plants seem to be well-labelled, and you can buy a few at the courtyard shop. Families with young children would love it, I think, as there are places for the children to run about and others where they would need to be a little more sedate - there are also trails to do. The courtyard cafe is beautifully situated, and the staff there very friendly - we had cake and a drink and it was all brought to our table outside. Easy, free parking, although on a busy road and it might be difficult to get out sometimes.

We attended a friends wedding yesterday at Knightor. The day was truly amazing. The venue, grounds, parking, weather, staff and most importantly food was faultless. Just wished we lived closer to come to the themed nights! The staff were very attentive and helpful, and we all felt very safe covid wise. Great job everyone!!!!
