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...

    • Here's the part of march46's linked-to Southwark News article pertaining to Southwark Council. "Southwark Council were also contacted for a response. "Councillor James McAsh, Cabinet Member for Clean Air, Streets & Waste said: “One of Southwark’s key priorities is to create a healthy environment for our residents. “To achieve this we closely monitor legislation and measures that influence air pollution – our entire borough apart from inland waterways is designated as a Smoke Control Area, and we also offer substantial provision for electric vehicles to promote alternative fuel travel options and our Streets for People strategy. “We as a council support the work of Mums for Lungs and recognise the health and environmental impacts of domestic solid fuel burning, particularly from wood-burning appliances. “We are currently updating our Enforcement Policy and changes will allow for the issuing of civil penalties ranging from £175 to £300 for visible smoke emissions, replacing the previous reliance on criminal prosecution.  “This work is being undertaken in collaboration with other London boroughs as part of the pan-London Wood Burning Project, which aims to harmonise enforcement approaches and share best practice across the capital.”
    • The solicitor is also the Executor. Big mistake, but my Aunt was very old, and this was the Covid years and shortly after so impossible to intervene and get a couple of close relatives to do this.  She had no children so this is the nephews and nieces. He is a single practitioner, and most at his age would have long since retired - there is a question over his competence Two letters have already gone essentially complaining - batted off and 'amusingly' one put the blame on us. There are five on our side, all speaking to each other, and ideally would work as a single point of contact.  But he has said that this is not allowed - we've all given approval to act on each others behalf. There are five on her late husband's side, who have not engaged with us despite the suggestion to work as a team, There is one other, who get's the lion's share, the typicical 'friend', but we are long since challenging the will. I would like to put another complaint together that he has not used modern collective communication (I expect that he is incapable) which had seriously delayed the execution of the will.   I know many in their 80s very adept with smart phones so that is not an ageist comment. The house has deteriorated very badly, with cold, damp and a serious leak.  PM me if you want to see the dreadful condition that it is now in. I would also question why if the five of us are happy to work together why all of us need to confirm in writing.             The house was lived in until Feb 23, and has been allowed to get like this.
    • Isn’t a five yearly electricity safety certificate one of the things the landlord must give for a legal tenancy?
    • Very sorry to hear this, but surely the landlord is responsible for fixing the electrics?  Surely they must be insured for things like this? I hope you get it all sorted out quickly.
