We were there a few weeks ago with a range of babies and toddlers.

The steam train ride from Bodmin was exciting for them

Constantine Beach was great for the toddlers as sheltered and rock pools but also good surf for the adults

Port Isaac is also a lovely little port village to wonder around


Have fun!

Your toddler may be a bit young for this, but we always enjoy a bike ride on the Camel Trail when we stay near Padstow. It's a beautiful, traffic free stretch of disused railway stretching from Wadebridge to Bodmin. If you don't have your own bikes, there are several cycle hire places that have bikes with child trailers. http://www.padstowcyclehire.com/home.htm

Just back from a week near St Austell. Spotted Kidzworld nearby on the road towards Fowey which may suit a toddler. Think it is about a 40 minute drive from Padstow.


We considered going to Newquay Zoo but didn't in the end. We were told that it is pretty good. Also advised that Lobster Hatchery near Padstow is good but don't know if this is for little ones.


Hopefully once there you can get your hands on some brochures. We picked up one that had all sorts of activities/attractions for children.


Have a nice holiday.

Hi

we were there in March with our then 19 month old, we did the camel trail bikes mentioned above (daughter on kids seat on the back) - the bit from Padstow to wadebridge was the nicest. Also Newquay zoo and for a wet day the aquarium. The Rick Stein Bistro is happy to take kids for lunch!


Have fun!

Maybe too late, but if not - camel trail, you can hire trailers/seats for toddlers. If you're the other side of estuary, then carruan is a "play farm" near Polzeath. Small but good for an hour or so.

All the Stein places are OK with kids - we did Fish Restaurant for a special occasion, but definitely do the fish and chip shop.

Hanging around dock in padstow is good for a bit - you can get a crabbing line and try to catch crabs (or one of you can while other one potters round the shops).

TBH, you'll presumably spend most of your time on the beach, if weather is ok...

    • Why don’t you speak to head of English at private schools? Might be able to recommend a senior student.. pity now summer hols.   Was how my friend found a tutor for both their kids - maths and science and English..
    • What is the reason for the change in name? Just curious.
    • Why change it?  You’ve got a fantastic historic, memorable name and you want to change it for something innocuous,  meaningless and empty
    • From the school newsletter:   A New Name for Dog Kennel Hill As you know we have been discussing and consulting with stakeholders about a  name change at DKH for a while. Following engagement with staff, pupils and  families, we gathered all views on a name change for the school and after  careful consideration of the feedback, the Local Committee and the Trust have  agreed with changing the school name to Grove Primary School from  September 2025.  Over the next few months we will begin a gradual process of changing our  name on signage, our website and emails etc. We will keep you updated.  We will be looking at designing a new logo to match the new school name and  will be working closely with a graphic designer to get creative. The school  council will be actively involved in this process. We will share the results with  you as soon as a design has been agreed and confirmed. We will be creating a  new school jumper to replace the old one, once the logo has been finalised. We  will phase this in over time.  We know that this is a welcoming change for some and that there are  parents and children who will be sad about the change. However, as a school  we think it will be a positive change for our school community and we will  work together to ensure that the ethos and culture of DKH will remain!
