We took part in the ‘Meet the animals’ wildlife experience at Feadon farm which was great, the team really knew there stuff and it was really interesting learning about the rescues and animal facts. Loved meeting all the animals, great for kids and adults as everyone gets a chance to get stuck in! Highly recommend and will be back to take part in another experience soon! ????

5⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My partner and i fancied going on a bike ride on Sunday so we rang Elm farm on the sunday morning and the owner (I think his name was Simon, sorry if i am wrong) had 2 bikes ready and waiting for us when we arrived. He is a really nice man, so friendly, welcoming and helpful, he couldn't do enough for us. The bike that i was given was a brand new bike, straight out of the box and it was excellent, gears, breaks everything was perfect. My partners bike was also brilliant! We were sent out with an emergency kit, just in case we had a flat tire etc. but we had no trouble at all. We highly recommend Elm farm and we will always use them from now on, we will definitely be returning again very soon, looking foward to it! Thank you so much for a fantastic experience ????????????

Stayed in Redruth for a couple of nights and finding this cinema was a revelation. Great choice of films, very comfy seats, extremely helpful and friendly staff and the food (highly recommend the movie and meal deal) was very tasty and plentiful. If we ever find ourselves back in Redruth we will definitely visit the Regal again.

What a great little museum, a real "hidden gem". Packed full of models toys and even a steam engine it is well worth a visit. As someone who had trainsets in my youth I was delighted to see the museum's huge collection of model railways, it was a lovely trip down memory lane and I would recommend it to anyone with an interest in railway models. There is also a large collection of mining locomotives, from several of Cornwall's well known tin mines and you even ride in train behind one.

Most people travel to Cornwall for the beaches and coastline granted. Stithians however is a hidden gem. A lovely walk with or without the dogs. Water activities, a nice cafe, pub lunch, campsite , kids park ,something for everyone. Now I live in Glossop derbyshire close to the Woodhead, Snake pass and Peak district , with Derwent not far away. That said this is a beautiful location that has everything you could want , mother nature at it's best. Come visit, camp and enjoy. I visit this area three ,four times a year and when this dam Covid is behind us , I'll be back. Stay safe . Tom D from glossop

Since we first visited in 2012, we've been back on average twice a year for various presents for the wife, kids, friends etc. It's a lovely little "village" with a jewellery shop making fine jewellery, a pearl shop where you can pick your own oyster and retrieve the pearl within, a build-a-bear workshop, a craft shop, a museum, krazy golf, panning for "gold" for the kids and a cafe and a hamper shop full of locally produced goods. It's a lovely little place and enough there to keep you for at least half a day. The jewellery is lovely and we've bought lots of different pieces over the years, given some as presents and they are always warmly received. The fact that they are still wearing them 7yrs on is testament to the quality.
