3. The Flicka Foundation - Donkey Sanctuary
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 286 reviews
PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE YOU WRITE YOUR REVIEW. The Flicka Foundation is a sanctuary for donkeys. We are NOT an attraction, but a working sanctuary that spends seven days a week rescuing and rehabilitating donkeys from cruelty, neglect and abandonment. We welcome visitors through our gates 'free of charge' to see our work and meet our big family. We have a tea room serving delicious light snacks and home made cakes and a small rustic gift cabin with some donkey merchandise (both help with charity funds), the rest of the centre is dedicated to our rescues enjoying being free, loved and cared for, they are the priority here, their happiness and as much free will as we can give them. If you are looking for lots to do and see Flicka is not the place for you - if you love animals and want to see alot of contented donkeys and ponies living in peace and tranquility please visit they would love to meet you - we would too!! ;-)

Well worth a visit to support the wonderful work of this amazing sanctuary, it has a new parking area, a super cafe serving reasonable priced snacks, a small gift shop, friendly caring volunteer staff and of course the gorgeous donkeys who are the lucky ones to be given a loving home for life. It’s free to enter but all donations are welcome and needed to help care for the donkeys.

5. Trebah Garden

This magnificent 26-acre Cornish ravine garden features a rich collection of rare and exotic plants, trees and shrubs.
Reviewed By Pennpenn2
We were disappointed with The Lost Gardens of Heligan and thought Trebah might be similar. How wrong we were. The informal sub tropical gardens are an absolute delight with spectacular planting, beautiful lakes, all year round interest and winding routes taking visitors in various directions including to a private beach on the beautiful Helford estuary. There is something new to see in every part of the garden. The cafe, gift shop and garden shop were all of good quality. We will definitely visit again in a different season.
6. Glendurgan Garden
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 992 reviews
Lose yourself in the three valleys of Glendurgan Garden - full of fun, natural beauty and amazing plants. Discover giant rhubarb plants in the jungle-like lower valley and spiky arid plants basking in the sunny upper slopes. Wander through the garden down to the beautiful hamlet of Durgan on the Helford River: a place to watch birds and boats, skim stones and build sand-castles.Find a boat-seat, gigantic tulip-trees and ponds teeming with wildlife. Learn about the Fox family who created this 'small peace [sic] of heaven on earth.'

Great fun 1/2 day trip with the kiddies, maze and sandwiches by the gunnera Pond for the kids and a walk all the way down to Durgan village for a little explore by the sea. When you make it back up top stop at the boat seat for the obligatory photo and then hattie’s veggie lasagne or crab and asparagus tart are your richly earned reward.
7. Falmouth Seafront Promenade

Reviewed By Manderj - Nuneaton, United Kingdom
It was lovely to stroll along the promenade. It was a nice sunny day when we visited. So pleasant. Nice bar next to the promenade called the grapes. We also walked into the shopping area and there were some lovely shops to browse. Definitely worth a visit. We parked in the quarry car park which is close to the shops and promenade. However there is a steep hill to get to the car park.
8. Gyllyngvase Beach

We enjoyed spending some of our holiday time on this beautifully kept beach, Although most of it is quiet coarse sand, at low tide soft sand makes for lovely swimming. The backdrop of exotic Queen Mary's Gardens adds to its charm.
