I was looking for something to entertain my 4yr old grandson and he loves horses so I booked a tiny tots half hour for him. He absolutely loved it, he spent five minutes brushing the horse, then he got to sit on Sunny, his excited face said it all. I can’t believe that all it cost was £5, and the joy it brought was beyond any cost. Thank you so much for such a brilliant experience, we will definitely be back.

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.

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.

The scenic Looe Valley Line links the bustling market town of Liskeard with the picturesque fishing port of Looe. The train journey is full of beautiful views out of the train window, as the wooded valley teaming with wildlife opens up to glorious estuary views as the river meets the sea. Looe itself is a much-loved seaside destination that’s full of character.

10. Porfell Wildlife Park & Sanctuary

Reviewed By Kanu14 - Yeovil, United Kingdom
This is a lovely family run sanctuary, not a zoo thankfully. The animals are clearly happy and content and our children enjoyed reading about their stories. It was a great way to spend a couple of hours and good value. How anyone can criticise a sanctuary that rescues animals is beyond me! This will be even better once the cafe and kids play area can reopen.
