Stunning Tintagel Castle in Cornwall

If you think of the most beautiful views you've ever seen, what comes to mind? Do you think of stunning blue seas in the Caribbean, or snowy capped mountain tops in Switzerland? I'd hazard a guess that you don't think of the UK, but perhaps you should....

I'm still overwhelmed by the fabulous views we saw on our trip to Tintagel, on the north coast of Cornwall. It is an absolute gem of a place - with a gorgeous village, so many lovely places to eat (we thought the fudge at Granny Wobbly's was the best we had in our whole Cornwall holiday!) and also lovely to walk around. Then, on top of the charm of the village, it has the most incredible castle remains, dramatic views of the cliffs and Atlantic Ocean, and a link with King Arthur. It's the kind of place that you want to return to pretty much straight after you left. And it's a place we'd all recommend - even if it's just to watch the waves crashing onto the shore again and again.

Tintagel has a history which goes back hundreds and hundreds of years, to the Romans. It was initially called Trevena, which means "village on a mountain" in Cornish and that's certainly a name which makes perfect sense.

While you're in the village, you can also visit the Old Post Office, which was originally a 14th century farmhouse and which is open to the public. You'll be particularly impressed by its wavy roof!

And if your children just want to run around away from the views, there is also a local skateboard part at Tintagel Playing Fields, while if you're looking for more culture, then you can visit the ancient church of St Materiana’s, which is over 900 years old.

[caption id="attachment_3656" align="alignnone" width="1200"] Jess at the stunning castle ruins[/caption]

However, if you're in the area, you probably want to visit the ruins of the castle and enjoy the views. Be aware that there is plenty of walking required and that some of the steps are steep, so it's not perfect for very young children (unless you're happy to do a lot of carrying).

Before you go into the castle, there is some background in the exhibition, which is particularly good on the Arthurian links. There is also a beach just before you start walking upwards, and if you look carefully, you might see Merlin's face in there too.

[caption id="attachment_3657" align="alignnone" width="1200"] As you can see, it's a long way up...[/caption]

The castle was built in the 13th century and then rebuilt by Edward the Black Prince in the 1300s, but the site had been inhabited for many hundreds of years before that. Archaelogists have found a number of Dark Age pottery in the area and there are huts along the island as well as the remains of more impressive buildings and a chapel.

It was in the 12th century that Geoffrey of Monmouth named it as the place where King Arthur was conceived and it may be because of this that Richard, the Early of Cornwall, built the original castle in the 1230s.

When we visited, there was quite a queue, but we realised that there was more than one place to purchase tickets (or show your English Heritage membership card) so we kept walking down towards the coastline until we found a shorter line. Be warned that it takes a while to walk from the village to the start of the castle area, and you can pay £2 each to take a Land Rover up and down instead. We didn't do this - we're hardy!

[caption id="attachment_3659" align="alignnone" width="1200"] All of us enjoying the views![/caption]

We walked up and up and I was gripped by the views, which were all incredible. We almost missed the statue of King Arthur (actually called Gallos, which is Cornish for power), which has only been there since 2016. It makes for another perfect photo opportunity.

When you do enter, you first come to some castle ruins, including the Great Hall built by Richard, Earl of Cornwall. There are helpful boards scattered around to give you some history and you can sit down and admire the views. But don't stop here. You simply must keep walking up and up to enjoy the full spectacle.

Tintagel Castle is only open at weekends from now until the 12th February and then open daily from 10am till 4pm during half-term (13th to 24th February). Please check their website for dates beyond this.
Our entrance was free as we belong to English Heritage, but a family ticket for two adults and up to three children costs £20.50.

Three great places for families to self-cater in the UK

[caption id="attachment_3381" align="alignnone" width="1200"] On the terrace at the Sherwood Hideway, in Nottinghamshire[/caption]

Travelling with a family means that accommodation is more vital than ever. And while hotels are one option, they can bring with them a whole host of problems including a lack of space and privacy, as well as a lack of flexibility (you can't lie in and have a late breakfast, for example!).

So, we thought it might be useful to share three of our favourite places to self-cater with kids in the UK. All of them have different advantages and are all in places which are full of things to do for families. Plus, all three are very near supermarkets or shops which make them extremely convenient too.

 

The Sherwood Hideaway, Ollerton, Nottinghamshire

This is a gorgeous place to stay, nestled within Sherwood Forest with its hundreds of trees. It's quiet and beautiful and our lodge even had its own hot tub - which was great fun to use.

The accommodation, which is cabin style, is fabulous - with large rooms, an ensuite for the master bedroom and separate bathroom for the kids, a large living room/kitchen area and balcony.

[caption id="attachment_3382" align="alignnone" width="1200"] The master bedroom at the Sherwood Hideway, in Nottinghamshire,[/caption]

We loved staying here because it simply felt relaxing and quiet. It has fewer activities available than the Valley (see below), although there is badminton and lots of places to run around, as well as cycle paths to enjoy. It was the kind of place where I didn't even mind doing a bit of cooking on holiday as it still felt as if I was away enjoying myself. My kids also enjoyed the fact that there were biscuits on the pillows when we arrived (and I liked the complimentary Molton Brown products).

[caption id="attachment_3383" align="alignnone" width="1200"] Enjoying the hot tub at the Sherwood Hideaway[/caption]

We all really enjoyed looking out into the woods and felt that this was a place which families would love - you can snuggle up and watch TV, play board games or read.

We also found it extremely convenient for travelling around as it's located just outside Nottingham and nothing seemed very far away.

Disclosure: Our stay in the Sherwood Hideaway was complimentary. However, all our views and comments are made honestly and we were not given any suggestions for what to write. The Sherwood Hideaway offers self-catering luxury lodges in the heart of Sherwood Forest. There are often special offers on the site, but for example, a weekend stay in a Woodland Rustic lodge (like ours) in November, costs from £520

The Valley, Cornwall

[caption id="attachment_3384" align="alignnone" width="1200"] The kitchen - with outside view of the pool - at The Valley[/caption]

The Valley Cornwall was excellent for families who want a home from home. It had a good sized kitchen with a balcony and living room, two bathrooms plus a spare extra toilet, a freezer and washing machine. We were very impressed by the space on offer, although if you have very small children or toddlers be aware that there are steps down to the bedrooms and quite steep steps up from the living room to the kitchen.

The second bedroom is small, but fine for two kids to share, as it has twin beds in it. The master bedroom has its own ensuite bathroom, which is always appealing!

But the Valley's main selling point, or at least from my point of view, is all the extras it offers.

[caption id="attachment_3385" align="alignnone" width="1200"] Using the space to play outside[/caption]

It has an indoor and outdoor swimming pool (the indoor is small, but we managed just fine by not going when everyone else was in there), plus lots of grassy areas to play on, including a football pitch and small activity area. There is a restaurant on site for those who don't want to cook all the time, activities for kids (from art to meeting strange pets) and table tennis, squash and snooker.

We really enjoyed taking part in the activities when we stayed, and thought these really enhanced our experience. It was lovely to go out in the day and then come back and have a swim or game of table tennis!

The Valley is located around 10 minutes drive from Truro, Cornwall's only city. It's also conveniently located for pretty much all of the places we wanted to visit in the area...

Disclosure: A week in a Villa Gallery (which has accommodation for four) at The Valley, Cornwallcosts £1770.We were fortunate enough to be offered a discounted media rate, but that has not influenced our review in any way.

Herbert Woods, Potter Heigham, Norfolk

[caption id="attachment_3386" align="alignnone" width="1200"] Outside our Herbert Woods Cottage[/caption]

This was a very different experience for us as it involved a cottage right by the water in the Norfolk Broads, a network of rivers and lakes. And it was great fun, especially as we took our own boat out for a trip too.

Potter Heigham is a village which is about 20km away from Norwich and is a huge site with lots of different cottages - and boats.

Once again we were really impressed by the accommodation as it had good sized rooms, a lovely living room and kitchen.

The cottage is right on the water and it was fabulous to see swans and boats glide by. There is a lovely terrace if you want to eat outside, but be warned that there is nothing between the terrace and the water, so this probably isn't the best place for inquisitive toddlers, or indeed those under around eight I'd say.

[caption id="attachment_3387" align="alignnone" width="1200"] Main bedroom at the Herbert Woods Cottage[/caption]

It was a lovely location, not far from Horsey Beach, where we saw seals lolling on the sand and swimming in the sea!

[caption id="attachment_3388" align="alignnone" width="1200"] On the veranda outside our cottage by the Norfolk Broads[/caption]

The village is also very handy, as it has a huge shop, Lathams, which seemed to stock everything, from clothes to food, plus two pubs, a post office, a fish and chip shop and a magnificent bakery (which offered huge, delicious cakes!)

Disclosure: We stayed in the Broadlands Cottage at Herbert Woods on a complimentary basis, although the company had no input into this post. A three night break in Broadlands cottage (off peak) is £328. We were also given complimentary hire of the picnic boat, which usually costs £140 for a day’s trip.

 

The End of the UK: Visiting Land's End

Jess, aged 14, says: On our week long trip to Cornwall, our family drove to Land's End: the western and southernmost point of England. I had expected there to be nothing there except for the famous sign, but I was shocked by how much there was to do! The whole family (especially Robert) had a great time, and it was really exciting to see the "end" of England.

[caption id="attachment_2717" align="alignnone" width="1200"] Outside the Land's End complex[/caption]

We had driven for about an hour from our cottage near Truro, and had driven through miles and miles of nothing to get there. We had passed England's "First and Last Inn" in Sennen, and found ourself in a large car park.

As soon as we walked into the centre, we were greeted with posters of the exhibitions that were there: a 4D film, the Shaun the Sheep Experience, Arthur's Quest, the End to End story, and Greeb Farm. I was quite surprised by how commercialised the area was although Robert didn't seem to mind. He quickly dragged me and dad to the 4D film, entitled "The Lost World".

The film was centred on a man named Bob, who meets a crazy Scottish woman named Professor Lizzie on an island. The island is inhabited by dinosaurs, and they have to run, drive, and fly away to escape. The film was especially special as our chairs moved, and we were blasted with air, water, and bubbles. Whilst I found the plot a bit predictable, Robert and dad loved it, and said that it was their favourite parts of the holiday. It certainly was very funny, and the 4D aspect was really cool.

[caption id="attachment_2718" align="alignnone" width="1200"] Inside Arthur's Quest[/caption]

Afterwards, the whole family headed to Arthur's Quest, where we explored the world of King Arthur. It was narrated by Brian Blessed, and the exhibition began with a narration of the tale. The tale was also stuck up around a small alley, but this was quite difficult to read. There was a big rope bridge to walk across, a large model of a dragon, and an interactive quiz, and I really enjoyed the exhibition. Robert was disappointed that it wasn't as exciting as the signs had made it out to be, but I thought that it was really well done and lots of fun.

[caption id="attachment_2649" align="alignnone" width="1200"] Inside the Shaun the Sheep exhibition[/caption]

The next exhibition we visited was the Shaun the Sheep Experience, which, in retrospect, we were too old for. This involved walking through a house, looking at models, and throwing "poo" at a bull. This wasn't too enjoyable, although the house was styled really well and I definitely would have enjoyed it had I been younger. The subsequent room was full of Aardman's history, and we learnt all about how the company animates its characters. There was also an opportunity to draw your own Shaun the Sheep characters, which I tried (and failed) at.

[caption id="attachment_2647" align="alignnone" width="1200"] It was amazing to visit the iconic Land's End sign![/caption]

After enjoying a slushie, it was time to visit the famous Land's End signpost, which was established in the 1950s. The signpost is run by a photography company, and you can pay to get your picture taken with it. What makes these pictures special is that you can customise the signpost to show the distance to your hometown, but we chose not to do that. We had to wait until people were changing the sign to get a picture outside it, but this was fine. It was really cool to see the famous sign, and this certainly made my day.

[caption id="attachment_2719" align="alignnone" width="1200"] The views around Land's End were gorgeous[/caption]

Subsequently, we enjoyed a walk across the cliffs of Land's End. The views were astonishing, and there was a lot to see. We walked for about forty minutes, and while it was steep at times, it was very manageable. Mum absolutely loved the views.

Next was time for lunch, which I thought had quite a few options and was reasonably priced. Mum had a jacket potato, Robert and I had pizza, and dad ate a pasty. The pizza was delicious, and the serving was very decent.



Finally, we walked through the End to End Story exhibition. This exhibition is dedicated to the people who have walked the entire length of Great Britain: Land’s End to John O’Groats. We found out which cities the tour takes you through (this was displayed on a 6000mph video), and learnt about people who completed the journey in all sorts of wacky ways. One man was mailed there in a giant envelope, and one man was frequently arrested on the way for making the journey while naked! This was probably my favourite exhibition, as everything was really interesting and I loved the graphics.

Overall, the whole family had a really great time visiting Land's End. It really was thrilling to go to the "end" of England, and there was a lot to do. Even though it was really commercialised for such a quiet area, it was nice that there was so much to do (it really would have been boring for kids without the exhibitions). The views were gorgeous, and we had a really fun and interesting day.

Please watch the video below to see more about our trip to Cornwall:

[kad_youtube url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8oWmvduevzM" width=200 height=100 ]

 

Need to know: It is free to go to Land's End and see the beautiful views and walk around. If you want to visit the attractions, however, you do have to pay. They are usually open from 10am daily, although do check the website to confirm times. The attractions are open from March 12th to October 28th (perfect for half-term). You buy one ticket for all of them (including a farm which we didn't visit) and a family ticket  costs £30 for two adults and two children and £27 if booked online.

A Week in Cornwall (by all of us!)

Playing football golf

Playing football golf in Cornwall!

Robert, aged 11, says:

I really like crazy golf and I love to play a quick game of footy too,  but I didn't know what to think when I found out I was playing the two mixed together! However, Football Golf which we tried out on our holiday in Cornwall, was one of the most fun and quirky things I've done all year. Let me explain...

You start off by picking one or both or the courses to play on. Most of the holes in the Parkland course are very long (length wise) and don't include many obstacles, whilst the Hillside course, which we did, has shorter holes but is full of bends, hazards and bunkers to make it more exciting.

Then every member of the group picks their own ball before listening to a quick explanation about football golf from a member of staff. Each one of the 18 holes has a board at the start which explains the criteria you have to follow to complete that hole. You put your ball on the green "mat" and try and kick it as close to the flag as possible.

You're meant to take turns, having one kick each but just do what's easiest as it's very annoying when you have your go and kick someone else's ball out of a good position, so it might be better for them to take their next go first. Some of the holes have bunkers or big gaps in the ground so if you kick the ball too hard you'll find yourself in a tricky situation (believe me, I know). One of the holes involved having to kick the ball through a raised square, this was extremely difficult and took us a long time. Another one involved kicking the ball into a net, I found this impossible - and I admit, that I did get a bit frustrated at certain times!

In the final hole for both courses you have to kick the ball into a goal, avoiding the defenders and keeper. As this hole didn't involve any precision or golf skills I got it in first try, which made me very happy. Dad did too.

[caption id="attachment_2727" align="alignnone" width="1200"] The winners![/caption]

Finally we counted up the scores. In 4th place, losing by over 50 points was Jess, although I don't think she was really trying near the end. In third place was mum, I came second but only beat her by one point. Dad came first and he was brilliant at it and he is also the best of us at golf, so I suppose that was no surprise.

All in all, I loved the "hole" thing (get it) and I would definitely recommend Football Golf although it can get very frustrating...

Football Golf costs £24 for an adult ticket, for two adults and two children. It is near St Austell in Cornwall and is open till 9pm each day.

The beautiful Lost Gardens of Heligan in Cornwall

[caption id="attachment_2653" align="alignnone" width="1200"] On the ropebridge[/caption]

Cornwall is known for its beaches, so a visit to a garden might not be the most obvious place you'd think of if you're holidaying in the area. But we would highly recommend this one - for The Lost Gardens of Heligan, near Mevagissey in Cornwall, are an absolute gem.

They also have their own fascinating history - originally being part of an estate and then being "lost" for many years around the time of the First World War, and becoming extremely overgrown. They were brought back to life over the last 25 or so years and you can well imagine the amount of work and effort this has taken.

[caption id="attachment_2662" align="alignnone" width="1200"] Jess, lost in thought, amidst the trees[/caption]

The gardens show so many aspects of nature's beauty and there is so much space to walk (be aware of this if you visit with small children, especially as it does get steep in parts). Whatever you do, don't miss the "jungle" with its Burmese rope bridge (the only time we had to queue) and incredible range of plants and trees (it's hot in this bit, so be warned!). There is also a walled "secret" garden, an Italian garden, vegetable garden and more. I loved seeing the poppies and also the views from the Georgian garden, which were gorgeous. There are 200 acres available for your enjoyment, but I think it's unlikely you'll manage them all!

Children of any ages (that included me) will enjoy seeing the animals, especially the piglets. We all laughed when these tiny pigs got excited at the arrival of a tractor (hence food) and went running (and squealing) towards the vehicle in excitement. We also saw emus and sheep plus learnt about the black bees at the bee hives.



The gardens aren't just a way to see flowers or plants, but there are also little copses and dens to discover, trees to climb and stumps to jump over. Plus there are some wonderful "living" sculptures, the Giant's Head, Mud Maid and Grey Lady, to be discovered along the Woodland Walk.

There are often activities for kids, so do check this as we went during "The Lost Summer" which was fantastic fun, involving the building of dens (which we finally managed to do with the aid of Jessica) and toasting marshmallows.

[caption id="attachment_2664" align="alignnone" width="1200"] Trying to build a den[/caption]

Talking of food (which we kind of were), there is some good stuff on offer here, with a proper kitchen, plus sandwiches, cakes and ice creams (we had a delicious ice cream on arrival). There's also a huge plant centre.

We really enjoyed our trip, even though it rained for much of the time. We'd recommend it for ages 7+ (because of the walking) and thought it made a great change to the beach!

[caption id="attachment_2665" align="alignnone" width="1200"] Beautiful flowers[/caption]

A visit to The Lost Gardens of Heligan is not cheap, but it is special. The gardens are open every day of the year except for Christmas, and a family ticket costs £35 for two adults and up to three children. You can read more about ticketing prices here.

Visiting the Eden Project, Cornwall

When we went to Cornwall, one place was top of the list to visit - the Eden Project, even though we weren't even sure exactly what it was.....

Jess, aged 14, writes: For such a large and famous destination, the Eden Project is quite difficult to describe. It consists of two large biomes which replicate the climates of the Mediterranean and the rainforest, an exhibition on dinosaurs, large gardens, lots of places to eat and drink, and a centre full of rides, such as a zip wire, giant swing, and a free fall. Even though everything was quite varied, we enjoyed all of it and had a fascinating and exciting day.

[caption id="attachment_2597" align="alignnone" width="1200"] The view of the biomes[/caption]

The Eden Project is so large that you have to take a bus from the car park to the centre. We quickly made our way to Hangloose, the location of the adventure park.

Robert, aged 11, says: I love adventure activities, so it sounded great to try out the fastest and longest zipwire in Britain. We prebooked the zipwire for me as it sounded the most fun, but I was horrified to find I was more than five kilos too light to go on it safely. Instead they offered me all the other activities to do instead of the zipwire, which just that shows how good it must have been. I decided to go on the The Drop and Big Air.

[caption id="attachment_2596" align="alignnone" width="1200"] Robert jumped on a beanbag from eight metres in the air![/caption]

First I went on Big Air, which was basically jumping onto an airbag. Firstly I had three goes jumping from about a metre up, this wasn't very thrilling but still vaguely fun. Then I got two goes at jumping on the airbag from eight metres up, I was really nervous. The few seconds you were falling were quite exhilarating but when you hit the bag it hurt your bum. Overall it was a bit like something you would do at a kids party.

[caption id="attachment_2598" align="alignnone" width="1200"] Robert jumped down from the top of the building[/caption]

Next I went on The Drop which I had been told was going to be very scary. They made me put on a harness before making me walk of the edge of the tower before they dropped me down. This was really disappointing as I didn't feel like I was falling at all and didn't get any exhilaration from the experience. The giant swing  which I now wished I picked looked really fun, although compared to the no time queuing for my activities you might have had to wait a long time to do that.

[caption id="attachment_2601" align="alignnone" width="1200"] The view when you walk into the rainforest biome[/caption]

Jess writes: Next, we made our way to the rainforest biome, which is the world's largest indoor rainforest. The biome covers three point nine acres, and is full of plants from rainforests across the world. I am very interested in geography and the world's countries , so I was really looking forward to finding out about rainforests, their climates, and the adaptations plants make to live there. I was also interested in seeing how the biome was made, and how they regulate the climate.

While the information certainly was good (and presented in a way that younger children could understand) it certainly wasn't at the level I hoped it would be, and I didn't learn anything. However, I may be being too harsh - mum and dad didn't know a lot of the information, and they found it interesting.

[caption id="attachment_2602" align="alignnone" width="1200"] Robert held a coco de mer seed[/caption]

The biome was full of plants, and I loved finding out about them. I would have liked more information about their adaptations and where they were from, but there were a lot of facts on hand and I was fascinated by everything. I especially enjoyed seeing an epiphyte, but wished that there were more. We encountered one member of staff who was talking about a specific plant, but I had too many questions in my head and promptly forgot all of them!

[caption id="attachment_2603" align="alignnone" width="1200"] We saw lots of cool plants inside the biomes[/caption]

We learnt about the food in Malaysia and walked around a typical hut before walking up the biome to a waterfall. We found some information about what it is like to work in the rainforest (it sounds amazing, but too hot for me), and walked up to the top of the biome and looked down at the plants and people. We had to queue to do this and it got very hot, so be warned, especially if you are with younger children.

[caption id="attachment_2604" align="alignnone" width="1200"] Robert at the top of the biome[/caption]

After walking down, we learnt about tropical fruits, chocolate, and the production of rubber products. We bought really good baobab smoothies, and marvelled at the incredible plants. The family was especially surprised by seeing how pineapples grow! We rushed out as it was very hot, but I had a marvellous time.

Next was lunch. There are many options for lunch at the Eden Project, and we decided to visit the burrito bar. My vegetable burrito was delicious, and the salad that went with it was gorgeous. Robert found it a bit too spicy, but we washed them down with lemonade.

[caption id="attachment_2605" align="alignnone" width="1200"] We loved the amazing models of dinosaurs.[/caption]

Robert says: At the time we went to the Eden Project the exhibition in the land, air and water tent was on dinosaurs. We went in and saw the most amazing models of the creatures, they moved and made sounds. I didn't learn much (probably because I ignored the boards full of information) but it was really cool.

Jess writes: The Mediterranean biome was our last destination. I was surprised to see that California and South Africa have Mediterranean climates, and was pleased to see some familiar plants from our holidays. The biome seemed smaller than the rainforest one, but it was really nicely done and it seemed as though we had been transported to the Med.

[caption id="attachment_2606" align="alignnone" width="1200"] Inside the Mediterranean biome.[/caption]

 

The Greek and Roman myths hung up across the biome were a really nice touch, and there was someone telling myths to a cluster of children in the centre. I enjoyed learning about the benefits of different variations of tomatoes and other plants, and really enjoyed the visit.

[caption id="attachment_2607" align="alignnone" width="1200"] We enjoyed some ice-cream after seeing the biomes.[/caption]

After our quick trip to the (excellent, huge) shop and walk through the beautiful gardens, we left the Eden Project. We all really enjoyed the day, and I thought that the biomes were incredible. While I would have liked more information, I'm sure I'll be able to find what I want online. I definitely would recommend a visit for the whole family, as there was so much to do, and we had a really great day.

Disclosure: We were fortunate enough to be given free entry to the Eden Project and to try out the rides at Hangloose in order to write about it. All our opinions, however, are our own and not influenced by this.
A package to do the Drop and Big Air costs  £18. Other pricing can be found here. A family ticket for the Eden Project (for two adults and two children) costs £62 if you book in advance.

Be warned that if you have small children, there is a lot of walking!
