Fantastic Crabbing Family Holiday In Cornwall
Luxuriate on the beautiful coast in Cornwall and dive into all that the area has to offer. Whether you want to try your hand at crabbing or surfing Cornwall is the perfect economical family destination with some great deals still to be had from Cornish cottage owners.
Picture this: stunning sandy beaches, unspoilt coastlines, fantastic food and a truly child-friendly environment. And the best part? You don’t have to struggle through an airport to get on a plane. No, you’re not dreaming. If you want an idyllic, chilled-out holiday this year - one that leaves you feeling chilled-out rather than stressed - think Cornwall. Experience the awe-inspiring surroundings for yourself and make your precious family holiday memorable for all the right reasons.
And with such breath-taking scenery just outside your door, you’re never at a loss for things to do. Take the children crabbing for hours - they’ll adore it and you will too, as it costs practically nothing. All you need is a line and some bait (available from local fishmongers). Collect the tiny crabs in a bucket of water if you want a closer look, but keep them in the shade and don’t forget to put them back at the end of the day. They’re not edible! However, there are scores of local restaurants where you can try all kinds of yummy seafood, including crab and fish caught that very day. Whatever you choose to do while in Cornwall, you’ll want the flexibility that only a holiday cottage can offer. For some of the best, most comfortable and charming self catering Cornish cottages, you should plan your Cornwall holiday cottage today.
Padstow is worth a visit. It’s a popular location for crabbing, with its circular harbour wall. And after a day of waiting for the little nippers to bite, you can indulge in some tasty seafood courtesy of Rick Stein. Choose from the restaurant, bistro, pub or fish and chip shop for some of the best, freshest seafood you’ll ever taste.
If you’re near Looe, try the popular Banjo Pier for crabbing, then go on to the Old Sail Loft Restaurant for a delicious, slap-up seafood dinner. A amazing building, steeped in history, rumour has it that it was once popular with smugglers. It’s now one of the oldest buildings in Looe with parts of it dating back 450 years.
If crabbing is a bit too sedate for you and your family, and you’d rather catch waves than crabs, why not try your hand at water sports Perfect locations are Constantine Bay and Harlyn Bay. As well as surfing, there’s paddle-boarding and kayaking for all ages. And you don’t have to be an aficionado to enjoy the water sports. There are several schools where you can learn to take to the waves at your own pace. In fact, the Harlyn Surf School has been named the ‘best on the North Cornish Coast’ by the Sunday Times.
Cornwall Sunshine is the number one destination site for holiday cottages in Cornwall.

The general threat was from France and Spain, especially after King Henry VIII divorce Catherine of Aragon. St Mawes was as fortified and updated as St Pendennis, because although it was well situated to protect Falmouth from the sea, on its opposite side was high ground, making the castle vulnerable to attack from the land. Indeed it was only ever once invaded back in 1646, but was peaceably taken because the St Mawes governor realised that there was no point in defending from a land invasion so surrendered the castle without a battle taking place.

The Minack Theatre
The Minack Theatre is a delightful open air theatre on the cliffside with beautiful views out to the sea. This is a fantastic theatre where you can visit during the summer for some amazing theatrical shows. This is a truly sensational feature of Cornwall and great for whole family entertainment. It is understandable that many people imagine the theatre to be ruins of some Roman remains, but in fact this is quite a modern structure being the brainchild of Rowena Child who invested and began developing the theatre from 1931.
The Tempest was the first performance at the Minack Theatre which was held in 1932. Rowena Cade chose this location after finding difficulty in providing a suitable location with ample seating for such productions. A simple stage and some basic stone seating was erected for this show, however, with the many years since passed, the theatre has developed into the fantastic venue it is today.

The Lost Gardens of Heligan
The Lost Gardens of Heligan was exactly that, for over 70 years. These gardens were hidden by bramble, ivy and weeds, untouched since World War II. Once rediscovered in 1991, many secret paths, chambers, inscriptions and myths derived and then began the drive to restore these gardens which was held in ownership of the Tremayne family for over 400 years.
These gardens are now subject to International recognition for its restoration, which took over a year. There are hundreds of acres of land around the gardens which are ongoing in restoration. This is one of the best gardens to visit in Cornwall and we had a fantastic time exploring the many secret garden paths and of course enjoy the beautiful plants, flowers, bushes and trees. Many of the original plants have survived in these gardens.
Prior to the restoration there was a devastating hurricane which should have destroyed the gardens and the estate. I presume, because of 70 years of neglect and the overgrown ‘jungle’ that became the gardens, they were protected from such an inevitable destruction.

Loe Pool
Loe Pool was created when nature produced a bank from shingle which eventually created a dam separating the sea from the lake. Loe Pool is now a natural freshwater lake. Porthleven is the nearest village. Loe Pool is one of the most tranquil and unspoilt locations in Cornwall, it is a massive lake with some great beaches to visit, and nothing much else around.
The shore is approximately six miles, and there are plenty of beaches and points of interest as you walk around the lake. This is one of my favourite places in Cornwall and the peacefulness, solitary calm surrounding the place is very reassuring. Make sure you bring all some warm and waterproof clothing as it does cool off in the evening.
Loe Pool is a wonderful freshwater lake where one can stay close by, in the many cottages available. Cornwall’s finest cottages, some of which are Cornish cottages quite near to such an amazing location.

There are many myths about Loe Pool, but my favourite is of the legend of King Arthur and where he cast his sword, Excalibur.

Looe Island
Looe Island is a very special island with a wonderful story about two sisters who wanted to own there own island. There are a couple of books written by the sisters which are quite fascinating. Babs and Evelyn Atkins dreamed of owning and island and back in 1965 they set about making this happen. I think one of the sisters was a teacher the other into pottery or arts of some sort. I remember reading that when they came across Looe Island, they felt they would not be able to afford such as place, but to there astonishment their offer was accepted. However, there was much work to do on the island, and if I remember correctly one of the sisters set up a pottery or arts class for visitors to the Island.
The sisters lived on the island nearly full time and during the summer months the place is a tranquil haven, however, in the winter the rough seas and weather make it nigh on impossible to get on or off the island.
Looe Island is 22 km and 150 feet above sea level, and is situated off Looe, by about one mile.

Lappa Valley Steam Railway
Lappa Valley Steam Railway, is a railway with steam trains running between Benny Halt and East Wheal Rose train stations. The train travels, as its name suggests, through the Lappa Valley. The railway was opened in 1849, so today the tracks are probably the oldest tracks in Cornwall. The original lines closed in 1963, and the Lappa Valley Railway was formed in 1974 to provide the wonderful tourist attraction we have today.
The track was changed to a minature guage track, which I presume means it was narrower than a regular track, but still capable of running a full size steam prototype (as opposed to running miniature trains). The guage is 15 inch, as opposed to a full size guage, nearly four times the size.
This is a fun day out and if you can catch a sunny day, you will enjoy the day even more. The sound of a steam train, coupled with the rumbling track and traditional steam odours make for a realistic experience.

The Hurlers
The Hurlers was formed from the Bronze Age dating back to 1500 BC. The formation of The Hurlers is basically three very large stone circles (like circle crops). There are many myths about these stone circles, but what is clear is that there may be some meaning behind the compass formation of these circles.
The circles are not all the same size and do not have the same number of stones making up each circle. The southern most circle is the smallest, the middle circle is the next largest and the northern most circle is the largest. The number of stones currently making up each circle ranges from 9 to 14 stones, however, when originally built they would have been more stones in each circle.
I’m not too clear on all the myths surrounding the stones, so it’s worth a visit to get your own view. However, it is said that the stones represented people being ‘turned’ to stone, because they played hurling on religious day, where it was forbidden. It is also said that the circles are situated in a typical location which would have made it convenient for traders to gather. This is because the circles are (as many others) strategically placed between two rivers, and I presume the traders may have used the water ways to transport their wears.
The Hurlers is a gorgeous historical location where one can stay close by, in the many Cornish cottages available. Many of Cornwall’s best cottages, some of which are Cornish cottages quite near to such a symbolic location.
Many cottage owners are very hospitable to holiday goers, who explore these Cornwall’s shores, countryside, structures, monuments and historical sites; historically focused vacationers tend to find so much of Cornwall’s most significant sites.

Cornwall is a superb holiday location with sandy beaches, countryside, culture and traditional values.

You will find The Hurlers close to the Minions village, an old copper mining area. With so many myths surrounding these stones, it is not difficult to concur up mysterious imaginings about the stones. One such legend that, for some reason, it is difficult to accurately count the Hurlers, but for those that manage to get the count right, some kind of misfortune will happen to them.
That said, the kids enjoyed running around in the wide open spaces.

Godrevy Island
Virginia Woolf, it is claimed was inspired by Godrevy Island (as were many others), producing the novel ‘To the Lighthouse’. The island is host to a single solitary lighthouse which is the main reason for its popularity. The building of a lighthouse started around the late 1850s, because so many ships had been wrecked by this dangerous stretch of water. Eventually, a steam boat was destroyed by the island rocks and all on board had perished; this was the catalyst for the building of a lighthouse which took over a year to complete.
Eventually, due to lack of shipping activity the three man crew for managing the lighthouse was disbanded, and the lighthouse was automatically switched on and off as appropriate. It is still operational and standing approximately 85 high, is frequented via helicopter flight for routine and general maintenance.
Godrevy was made famous due to the lighthouse and of course the inspiration this brought to many, including Virginia Woolf.

Similar to many coastal islands, Godrevy has naturally developed into a haven for wildlife. Many creatures use the island as a sanctuary, including grey seals and of course the ever present sea gull.
Godrevy Island and it’s lighthouse provide for a stunning view from the coastline and is truly worth visiting the coast to get some great photo’s and dare I say, you may also become inspired from the experience.

Eventually, due to lack of shipping activity the three man crew for managing the lighthouse was disbanded, and the lighthouse was automatically switched on and off as appropriate. It is still operational and standing approximately 85 high, is frequented via helicopter flight for routine and general maintenance.
Godrevy was made famous due to the lighthouse and of course the inspiration this brought to many, including Virginia Woolf.

Chysauster Ancient Village
Over 2000 years ago, there were habitants of Chysauster Ancient Village, which is situated not too far from Castle An Dinas. Chysauster is part of a settlement that is not too dissimilar to the structure of many of Cornwall’s villages today. It is known as a courtyard village, surrounded by stone houses with living quarters and an associated courtyard. Chysauster also has evidence of a ‘fogue’ which is essentially an underground passageway or cave. The fogue is not very well preserved, but nonetheless, there is clear evidence suggesting that one existed.
It is believed that occupants lived in this Iron Age village right through to Roman times, and the location has fantastically well preserved courtyard houses. There are up to 10 houses, which had basic living and storage areas within the centre of the village.
Chysauster is a beautiful a most recognised ancient village where one can stay close by, in the many holiday cottages available. Many of Cornwall’s finest cottages, some of which Cornwall cottages are close by to such a prominent site.
Cornish cottage owners are very hospitable to visitors, wishing to explore much of Cornwall’s history, structures, monuments and historical sites; many tourists’ find a dearth of Cornwall’s most fascinating historical locations. There is plenty of cottage accommodation available, throughout the whole of Cornwall; making Cornwall a fantatic place to begin a journey of discovery of the many ancient locations and other points of interest.

Chun Quoit
Chun Quoit, on outskirts of Chun Downs, is a formation of rocks approximately three metres high, resembling a giant mushroom. This quoit is probably the best formed of all the quoits in Cornwall. The Cornish translation of Quoit is ‘the house on the downs’, and a quoit is essentially a chambered tomb.
A quoit is essentially Cornish for a megalithic structure. This is simply made up of large upright stones in a circular ring with a huge capstone, placed horizontally across the uprights. This formation creates the desired chamber effect.
All the stones and slabs of the quoit are from grey granite, which is usual in this location. There are many myths surrounding this quote, including one of Cornish druids using the slabs as sacrificial alters.
Chun Quoit is a wonderful a most recognised chamber where one can stay close by, in the many holiday cottages available. Many of Cornwall’s finest cottages, some of which Cornish cottages are not too far from such a prominent site.

Chun Castle
Chun Castle, on the summit of Chun Downs, is one of Cornwall’s most natural hillforts. This is a stunning historical site with great coastal views. It is believed that settlements existed as far back as the Iron Age up to and including 500 AD. Like similar hillforts, evidence of concentric rings provides excavation points for further analysis and evidence gathering.
Chun Castle still possesses the remains of external stone walls and deep ditches, and within, there is evidence of housing by way of smaller circular stone walls. This castle seems to have been the centre of the West Penwith area, covering all the surrounding territories.
The mystery of Chun Castle was evident on my visit, especially since we arrived early in the morning, after sunset. There was a sense of thriving activity, in years gone by, and the evidential rocks ‘sprayed’ across the grounds provide an insight to the simplification of life during these times.
Chun Castle is a gorgeous a most prominent hillfort where one can stay close by, in the many Cornish cottages available. Many of Cornwall’s finest cottages, some of which cottages are not too far from such an historical site.

Cheesewring
The Cheesewring, near Minions on southern edge of Bodmin Moor, is one of Cornwall’s most natural phenomenon’s. This is a stunning historical site as it is essentially a top heavy stack of rocks, forced by nature’s wind erosion, providing the illusion that justifies it’s name as the ‘Cheeswring’, due to each rock resembling a traditional cheesewring.
The oddity about this amazing site is that the largest and most unwieldy looking rocks are firmly situated at the top end of the stack and the smallest, lightest looking rocks are at the bottom, supporting the whole structure.
It is true to say that this 32 foot structure looks unstable at best, being situated on a side of a slope and seemingly held up by a few fragile looking small rocks. The first impression one gets, is that this structure could collapse at any moment; the stunning views from this point out to Cornwall and Devon are well worth the visit.
Cheesewring is a beautiful natural site where one can stay nearby, in the many holiday cottages available. Many of Cornwall’s finest cottages, some of which Cornwall cottages are not far from such an amazing place.

Carn Euny
Carn Euny is one of Cornwall’s most historic locations. This is a well preserved ancient village, which was last occupied by the Romans, but dates back to the Iron Age. There are the foundations of stone houses, plus the well documented underground passage known as a ‘fogou’.

It is believed that houses surrounded by a field system, that is prehistoric in design, and evidence of flint tools suggest that the site was definitely in use from the Bronze Age. This indicates human presence from the Mesolithic period.
I discovered that the most relevant feature of the ruins is the fogou, which is connected to one of the houses (known as courtyard houses). The word ‘fogue’ derives from the Cornish language and means ‘cave’. Fogou’s are excavated from the local rock and finished with stone roofs. Most fogou’s can be found in West Cornwall, and are rarely found anywhere else in Britain.

Cardinham Woods
Cardinham Woods, a fantastic woodland with many activities for all the family to enjoy. When we visited I was pleasantly surprised at how much we packed into the day, and how quickly the day passed through. The woodlands are a beautiful mixture of trees and shrubs, with some great clearances. This place is great for family strolls, but also plenty of cyclists, dog owners and horse riders visit the woods.
With over 250 acres of land, the woods are particularly ideal for horse riders. It is also a wildlife refuge for otters, deer and the high flying buzzards who constantly circle the treetops. The trails are well marked and lead you to amazing view points and explanations of the history of the Woods.
After a long days exploration, we visited the onsite Woods café for a drink and snack, before settling for an early evening BBQ in one of the picnic areas. BBQs are actually situated in the picnic areas, so just bring food and fuel to get started.

Bodmin Parish Church
This church was dedicated to St Petroc before the 1066 Norman Conquest. There now lays the chapel of St Mary, where the shrine of St Petroc is located.

‘Cornish Perpendicular’ pillars were typical of Cornish churches and Bodmin parish church, is one of the few churches that have building records intact and almost complete, surviving for centuries; records going back to 1491.
Throughout
Ensure you visit
The parish church has an obscure history, too much history and detail to cover here. A visit to the church will reveal much of this. ‘Bodmin’ is a name that is believed to have derived from the Cornish language, meaning ‘house of monks’. Therefore the monastery would have been established, identifying the beginning of Bodmin the town.
