Trerieve Farm

Right next-door to the campsite and set among woodland, Seaton Valley Countryside Park (five minutes’ drive) is a cracking spot for wildlife spotting, where you might get lucky and see otters in the river or kingfishers flashing about. It’s also got an outdoor gym, sensory garden and picnic spots. A trip to Cornwall wouldn’t be the same without a visit to the Eden Project (40 minutes) to see the ever-changing displays of rare flowers and trees in wacky glass biodomes. Closer to home, families can zipwire across the water and try out go-karting at Adrenalin Quarry (15 minutes), or pop in to see the primates at Wild Futures, The Monkey Sanctuary (10 minutes). Driving along winding Cornish lanes, you’ll come upon some gorgeous seaside spots, from Polperro (30 minutes) to Fowey (50 minutes). If you’d rather explore on foot, the South West Coast Path (five minutes) runs along the coastline in both directions for amazing views and some challenging climbs.
