Newquay Holiday Park

All roads lead – with good reason – to the beaches, attractions, shops and eateries of Newquay. If you fancy a go at surfing, you’ve picked the right place: there are surf schools at nearby Holywell Bay and Lusty Glaze, a private cove where the adventure centre also offers coasteering, abseiling, jetskiing and lots of other thrilling stuff. Encourage any budding David Attenboroughs with a trip to one of the wildlife attractions a short drive away: Newquay Zoo has big cats and monkeys, the Blue Reef Aquarium offers close encounters of a toothy kind, and you can handle tame owls and see some impressive falconry displays at the Screech Owl Sanctuary. For more domestic creatures, try Dairyland Farm World, where visitors can get hands on in the milking parlour and feed and pat a variety of furry friends. Gardening gurus should enjoy the tropical adventures of the Eden Project, the romantic landscaping of the Lost Gardens of Heligan, or the zen Japanese Garden and Bonsai Nursery in St. Mawgan. The list of attractions goes on and on, with something for all tastes: cider farms, theme parks, castles, stately homes, steam railways, museums, galleries, water parks… Cornwall really does have it all…
