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...

    • Callout for help from any local experts here. Looking to find out more about the history of the property on the corner of Whateley Road and Ulverscroft road (with the green glazed bricks). Now a residential property, i'm told it was a bottle shop in days gone (the house was built around 1900) by and i'd like to learn more about the history of the business that was once here - name, photos, anything at all really! Seems to be very little from open source research so i'm hoping anyone with history in the area can provide any insight!  Starting here before i contact Southwark Archives or similar orgs to get any information and pictures (any advice here also would be welcome). Thank you
    • Portable ramps are available for businesses to use in this sort of situation, aren't they? I don't know whether one would be suitable for use here, or whether they have the space to store one. Lots of people have  permanent or temporary disabilities which mean they have to use crutches or a wheelchair.
    • I can’t remember where I read that figure but this article in the Grauniad from 2023 discusses Ocado results from 2022. The average shopping cart fell to £118 from £129 the previous year. But Ocado lost £500m that year on approximately 20 million orders (circa 400k orders per week). So, averaging out to £25 lost per order. Ocado pauses building new warehouses as annual losses balloon to £500m | Ocado | The Guardian  Obviously, the £500m loss includes various factors. But Ocado has existed for 25 years and only made a small profit in a couple of those years. The rest have been huge losses. Yet it continues to raise funds and speculation sends the share price up and down. In that respect,  it’s like the UK version of Tesla. Meanwhile, the main growth in the supermarket sector has been for Aldi and Lidl, who do not deliver.
