Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 21 reviews
A fun 18 hole football golf and 9 hole golf course over a 25 acre site. Beautiful views and a restaurant too! Football golf is like crazy golf but with a football, with obstacles and challenges and scored like golf. A great fun activity for all ages, from 3 to 93. The par 3 golf offers a challenging, well maintained course with a view of the sea.

With the weather being a bit changeable we decided to visit Whealdream Footgolf and try and entertain ourselves with an 8,10,18yr old - On arrival we were met by Josh (who turned out to be a superstar!) and decided to have a drink whilst the rain past, subsequently we ordered 2 cream teas, cokes and a lovely local ale recommended by Josh, everything was lovely and beautifully presented. The footgolf was a real treat and very different to the standard course and raised lots of really good challenges. Having built up a hunger we decided to eat and to say the food was beautiful would be an understatement amazing all round This place is well worth visiting and the hospitality is second to none since our arrival in Cornwall - as mentioned a special thank you to Josh who made our day really enjoyable Thanks you! And we’ll be back soon Ryan - Clare and family

This walk is spectacular! Taking you to the top of both Godolphin and Tregonning Hills which give lovely 360 views. I will definitely do this one again. Used the iWalk Cornwall app which gave good directions and ensured that we didn’t get lost.

Spent a week in North Cornwall in October2020 & just catching up with reviews. This was probably my favourite beach whilst on holiday in North Cornwall. Quite what makes a favourite I'm not sure as they are all stunning. At Morgan Porth on a sunny October day it was not busy, the tide was out & we walked for over an hour just exploring the beach & all the rock pools. As it was October it was easy to park. Like with many other cornish beaches I'm sure in the summer months things are completely different. Parking available & a few places to purchase food & drinks. Toilet facilities available. A really enjoyable few hours. Dog friendly when we visited in October.
