What travelers are saying
- BluebellplasnewyddCardiff, UK1,401 contributionsThere is not much here apart from National Trust cottages. It is a pleasant and isolated port with not much going on but well worth visiting by car. There is a small carpark.Written November 29, 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- 50MarkTruro, UK101 contributionsGreat beach to sit and watch the surfers, had fish and chips and watched the breakers, highly recommended to visit . Just watch out for the parking !Written May 8, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Mandy CWotton-under-Edge, UK2 contributionsI was taken up The Tunnel this morning. He thought he’d surprise me and all I can say is WOW. An experience I’ll never forget. Highly recommend if you’ve never done it before! 🤩🤩🤩Written May 15, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- htw00d7 contributionsA must visit when in St Ives. A beautiful, special place. The sculptures and the planting work well together. We visited twice during our visit to experience the sculptures both in the rain and in the sunshine. Highly recommend. Friendly and helpful staff.Written May 7, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- DuckTails2013Surrey, UK34 contributionsWe were very lucky with the weather but the views from here are spectacular. We didn’t realise prebooking is essential but managed to pull over before arriving and book ourselves in (luckily it wasn’t busy). £10 each adult. There’s been some changes since our last visit (yes it does warrant a return!) and the cafe was closed at the time. Drinks are available though. We were lucky enough to catch a performance of “Moving Heaven and Earth”
with actor Mark Harandon, who ‘recreates the character of Rowena Cade's gardener, Billy Rawlings, and shares stories of working with Miss Cade and how the Minack was built’. Hopefully the cafe will return. Toilet facilities are good. Staff very knowledgable and helpful.Written May 10, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC. - MollyBasingstoke, UK7 contributionsThe views over Falmouth from this castle are just beautiful. A great way to spend a couple of hours, with really friendly staff and lots to look at.Written April 27, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- leilei00009United Kingdom92 contributionsWide beach, soft sand, amazing colour. Great for a walk and to dip your toes in. Gazing across the horizon and chilling. Just beware the seagulls!Written April 25, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- familytravel4x4Liphook, UK522 contributionsWe hired bikes from the Padstow bike hire and cycled almost to Bodmin in less than a couple of hours of relatively gentle effort given the trail is effectively flat as it follows the route of the former railway. The views of the river and estuary are spectacular and there are lots of stopping places to sit and/or picnic if desired. The only section where we walked was through Wadebridge, where we felt a little concerned with the traffic. But it was short lived and then we were soon back on the trail. Our goal was the Camel trail tea gardens - an excellent watering hole to stop for refreshments and rest the legs before the return trip. A must do even if you are not a regular cyclist given it allows more of the trail to be explored than can be done on foot.Written October 10, 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Visit021Sherborne, UK90 contributionsFab facility where sea swimming isn't feasible. Water allegedly 8C when we went in but, with a shorty wetsuit, gloves and socks, we stayed in a for a few minutes.
There's a gentle slope into the pool on the landside, so you can get in gradually. This side also has terraces with hooks you can hang your stuff on.
It wasn't staffed when we went - perhaps as it was still the winter season. Luckily we met a regular who invited us along to an end of season event at the pool the next day, which made us feel safer swimming in such cold water for the first time.
Could do with lockers if they could fit them in - might be a good revenue generator too. No changing rooms.Written May 6, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC. - 50MarkTruro, UK101 contributionsVisited today with wife and two teenagers, enjoyed walking around the harbour and seeing the sand banks, recommended to visit for a wowWritten May 8, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Chris CWeston super Mare, UK4 contributionsBeautiful walk, in fact so beautiful we had to walk back again. The coastline is stunning.
My wife and I have been rattled by the review saying it wasn't far enough. WHAT? That's like complaining that a castle shouldn't have been placed up a hill. On a sunny day this is lovely. Dropping into Polperro at the end is like a dream. A lovely placeWritten May 15, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC. - M H4 contributionsWell worth a visit - it does involve quite a lot of walking through woodland / uneven ground so not suitable for everyoneWritten May 2, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Ken-JaynePlymouth, UK71 contributionsThis has been on the ‘to do’ list forever…chose exactly the right day to visit today. The weather was very kind and added to the whole experience. Crossing the bridge was exciting and not as scary as I’d thought it would be. Steep climb up and down requires a level of agility and stamina but it’s all worth it. Stopped off at the cafe for a sandwich and coffee-both excellent. Continued our walk to Barras Nose and back to the village via the Camelot Hotel. Entrance fee is quite high but in proportion to other visitor attractions. Paid £4 to park all day in the village. A thoroughly enjoyable day.Written May 14, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- jus2nelukeManchester, UK141 contributionsAn awesome space full of interesting things to look at. I really enjoyed spending a pleasant hour or do here.Written May 8, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Iain MHorsham, UK64 contributionsA surprisingly large and interesting house and garden. There is so much to see and do. The use of the female narrator to describe what would be happening is a great touch.Written May 10, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
