Once we'd managed to find the car park, we had a brilliant walk exploring the peaks of Roughtor. The terrain is challenging but not horrendous, and the surrounding wildlife is lovely. Brilliant views at the top and a nice chat with the wild ponies on the way down! Well worth it.
3. Explore by Bike

We offer a friendly, personal service and will take time to fit you with the right bikes and information for a great day out on the trail. From us you can cycle straight to the Camel Trail - one of the most scenic off road cycle routes in the UK. We are based at the quiet end of the trail away from the crowds where you can enjoy the Cornish countryside in peace. If you want a full day out and don't mind a little busyness then we are the perfect distance away from Padstow to make a full day of it. Alternatively head on the rarely travelled section towards the lovely Snails Pace Cafe at Wenfordbridge for a home made treat before returning to historic Bodmin.

We had a brilliant day and Explore were an excellent company to use. if you want a bit further of an adventure start the camel trail at Bodmin rather than Wadebridge which gives you a 25 mile round trip. Apart from navigating a few roads in Bodmin and Wadebridge it is mainly the relatively flat and stunning camel trail. Great coffee hut just past Wadebridge and then the beautiful Padstow where it is very esay to lock your bikes up and walk into. We had a really great day. There is a bit of a hill at the end of the trail on the way back so the promise of an ice cream may be in order for littler riders!

Really good fun escape room, we did the Games Room with 5 and 8 year old and they had a lot of fun and were fully involved. It's very child friendly, nice and bright and colourful. We've done lots of escape rooms now and I think this was one of the top two family ones. Great as an all weather activity and fun for an hour on holiday.

Parked up near Minions and walked across the moor to the Hurlers Stone Circles. Fabulous views for miles around. There are 3 stone circles 2 of which have been re furbished and once again left you wondering what use our ancestors put them to.

My husband and I visited Camel Valley vineyard during our week long tour around Cornwall. The trip was planned around a visit to the vineyard after seeing it reviewed on a TV programme last year, when 5 Celebrities went caravanning. This spurred me into buying a bottle of Camel Valley Rose sparking wine. Well I don't need much encouragement, and certainly wasn't disappointed. This amazing vineyard produces the most amazing English wines, and most certainly rivals any of the best Champagne from France. I'm now converted and will only purchase from Camel Valley. The tour around the winery was very informative and opened our eyes to the work that goes into producing the wines. I've always loved Champagne, however the Camel Valley sparking wine certainly deserves all the awards it has gained and in my view is better than Ruinart champagne. Let's fly the flag for English wine!
8. Pencarrow House and Gardens

Reviewed By Coalchucker - Winchester, United Kingdom
Pencarrow is a beautiful house and well worth visiting. It's still a family home and it has a quirky and personal feel which sets it apart from other country houses. Lady Molesworth St Aubyn and her late husband took it on in the 1970s after it had not been lived in for some time and they have done a fantastic job. We enjoyed the new bookshop and a light lunch which was tasty and well presented, followed by a tour of the house. Our guide Karen was good-humoured and very knowledgeable making the tour most enjoyable. A walk around the gardens then followed with plenty to see. Our visit was made extra special by a delightful and informal chat with Lady M. herself and it was no surprise to find that she was every bit as friendly and welcoming as her lovely house. She deserves your support in continuing to look after this special place for us all to enjoy.

Great place to walk/wander/gaze...thoughtfully planned out and signposted with different ways to explore whether walking, in a wheelchair or biking (and even better bikes and walkers separately!) or wandering. Take your own drinks/food though as the cafe is overpriced for what it is, i.e. they think they are an expensive bit of a large city or (and more likely) are holding you hostage so extortionate prices for ok stuff. Big car park but do have to pay for that (and again not cheap....£3 for 2 hours and so on...again like large city prices) and no public transport there...actually whilst I loved it there as I’m typing this getting cross about the prices and that unless you have ££ you can’t access and surely that’s not the objective of Forestry England?
