Stayed in North Cornwall October2020 for a week & just catching up with reviews. We visited the area of Minions twice taking in walks to The Hurlers/Cheesewring & the disused tin mines. We visited in October & had no trouble in parking. Not entirely sure if we did the circular walk or not, but we had great fun exploring the area.

Said to have been hurled by an angry God in response to violation of His Sabbath day, these three large stone circles are built close together and vary in size from 105 feet to 135 feet across.

Wonderful scenery with breathtaking views across Bodmin Moor and beyond. A gentle walk to the Cheesewring passing Daniel Gumps old "house" gives you an idea of what it was like many years ago. Occasional climbers in the quarry below the Cheesewring make interesting watching. Good choice of cafes and a pub in Minnions

Went here to see the falls whilst on holiday with our 3 children (aged 11, 11 and 10). Whilst they are not always enthusiastic walkers, they had a great time walking through this forest and we have some lovely photos of them in amongst the bluebells that were prolific! We also followed the river path and had great fun crossing on stepping stones and logs at various points and were very lucky to see some cows coming down to the river for a drink! Another fab photo opp. The cafe was fab! We had some lovely hot chocolates and whilst we didn't eat, the food that was being served to other customers looked amazing and would certainly try it out the next time! Staff were very friendly and helpful. Toilets on site.
5. St Martin's Church
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 10 reviews
St Martin’s Church in Liskeard is a medieval Grade II* listed building, dating back to 1428. It is the 2nd largest parish church in the Diocese of Truro. It comprises a central and two side aisles, plus a Lady Chapel. It has some beautiful decorative features, and the old font has a superb carved cover. The pulpit is of English oak, with rich arabesque carving. The clergy stall is also beautifully carved and adorned with a carved angel. Perhaps the most unusual feature is the highly decorated war memorial frieze, which includes civilians, as well as the armed forces. With eight women and four men depicted it is very unusual for war memorials. The churchmanship is “open evangelical”. Sunday services are usually at 09:15 (1-hour service with choir and organ), 11:00 (75-minute service with music group, children’s and youth groups) and 18:00. There is a communion service at 09:30 in the church centre on Wednesday mornings. The church can be hired as a venue so access cannot be guaranteed.

We regularly holiday in Looe, (4th year this year) and have made a trip to Trago Mills an annual trip. Such a quirky building and external decoration makes it look a bit Disney like West Country theme park. The store itself is absolutely packed with items, literally anything and everything you want can be found in Trago. The prices as well appear to be below market average in an area of the UK that isn’t really know for cheap pricing. The choice is unreal. We always manage to walk away having spent hundreds and after picking up a wide variety of goods that are not normal holiday purchases. This year the range didn’t seem as wide but I would probably attribute this to covid. This being said we still manage to fill up on school supply’s, West Country produce, clothing and camping gear, even some early Christmas bits. My eldest daughter goes to university this September and she managed to get bits she needed at a great price. Moving on to the staff, they are helpful, polite and very welcoming. Would recommend this place for anyone just for the experience and defy you not to find something you didn’t realise you needed in your life.
