Take to the water with the kids this summer for some aquatic adventuring.

W

hether your family is looking for a day of thrills or a more relaxed adventure, you will find something for the whole family at Kernow Adventure Park. You will be amazed at what you’ll discover nestled within the depths of a disused quarry just a short drive outside of the historic town of Falmouth.

The experienced team will be waiting to meet you at the beautiful glass fronted club house, ready to kit you out with all the safety gear you will need for your day full of fun. You can choose from an array of activities; there really is something to suit every adventurer.

Bounce your way around the Aqua Park, an air-filled assault course floating just a few meters from the water’s edges waiting for the fun to begin. Family members from age six years and up can clamber, climb, jump and laugh their way to exhaustion. There are balance beams, huge slides, and plenty of bouncing platforms to test your balance skills before plunging into the crystal-clear waters.

If you are looking for something a little more relaxing enjoy a cruise around the lake in one of the Adventure Park’s E-boats. Taking passengers from age two, you can glide around the lake, peering into the vastness of the depths of the quarry, and taking in the sheer scale of its height from the outer edges.

If you’re craving a moment to yourself, why not get out on the water on one of the paddleboards available for hire or get in a few lengths in the dedicated swim lanes while listening to the rest of the family laughing away.

As the day draws to a close and your legs are tired but your skin is soft from a day in the water, sit back and relax with a snack from the food truck or bring a picnic and settle down on one of the grassy terraces to take in the last of the day’s sunshine.

The awe-inspiring (and recently revamped) 1930s Art Deco lido on The Promenade has featured in a music video and even received rave reviews from The New York Times. Perfect for families, there’s a bathing pool for toddlers, so you can all bathe in shelter overlooking the blue expanse of ocean.

Marazion and St Michael’s Mount

SEA KAYAK IN ST AUSTELL BAY

Learn to kayak with top instructors and explore all of the nooks and crannies of the stunning south coast that can’t be accessed from land.

PADDLEBOARD ON THE RIVER GANNEL Stand up paddleboarding (SUP) is a fun, relaxing way to play on the water, and also the hottest new surf related sport.

One thing everyone must do at least once when in Cornwall is walking across the ancient granite causeway at low tide to visit St Michael’s Mount (make sure you check the tides in advance). Check opening times for tours of the house and gardens.

mining heritage

In the 19th century, Cornwall became home to the global industry of mining for minerals such as tin, copper and coal, with its rich stretches of coastline and pockets of ore lying beneath seabed. It’s fascinating to learn that some mines, such as those on the ‘Tin Coast’, stretched almost a mile out to sea, beneath the very bedrock of the Atlantic!

And, by exploring the various visitor centres and abandoned engine house ruins, dotted all around the Cornish landscape, there’s plenty to be discovered.

1ENGINE HOUSE TRAIL

If your kids love nothing more than mounting up on two wheels, then taking on a stretch of the Engine House Trail is the perfect way to spend a day. Winding its way through 13 Cornish towns, from Hayle to Bissoe, there are hundreds of historic landmarks to see, from Gwennap Pit – a Cornish amphitheatre made famous by the founder of Methodism, John Wesley, to the Carn Brea Monument – built to commemorate local baron,

This National Trust site offers visitors the chance to explore the various ruins of Levant mine. Follow in the footsteps of the miners who once worked there, hear the tales of the Edwardian miners and discover the site’s secrets. Learn how the history of this mining site took a tragic turn in 1919, as the man-engine failed after a link snapped, killing 31 men and heralding an end to the mining of the mine’s deepest levels.

The water wheel at Geevor

4 wheal prosper, rinsey

Despite the name, Wheal Prosper was anything but prosperous. It is, however, a stunning place to visit.

The iconic engine house on Rinsey head – with uninterrupted, panoramic views over the Atlantic – is a fantastic spot for a picnic, and the adventurous types can even climb inside the ruin. Further along the coast path you’ll find more dilapidated ruins, but be sure to stay safe and look at these from a short distance.

POLDARK MINE If you’re near Helston or the Lizard, be sure to visit Poldark Mine – the only complete tin mine in Cornwall that’s open for underground guided tours. Mining here dates back to Bronze Age, so it’s definitely one for those budding ancient-history buffs!

Wheal Prosper

Derek Harper

Geevor Tin Mine is the country’s largest preserved mining site, where visitors can go underground and experience a real, 18th century tin mine. The Hard Rock Museum tells the story of Cornish mining, while the many other buildings, with their magnificent mining machinery, provide a fascinating insight into the industry. The world, during the 19th century, relied on Cornwall for its mining technology exports and at Geevor, you’ll begin to understand why!

DO YOUR RESEARCH! While some ruins are safe to get close to and even go inside, others certainly aren’t! So, be sure to break out your smartphone or do your research beforehand, and if signs tell you to stay clear, then please do!

5 wheal coates, st agnes

It’s likely that your kids will want to give surfing a go, particularly when the sun’s out, so why not head down to St Agnes, one of the north coast’s most popular surf spots, before exploring the local coast path and seeing what heritage it has to offer? Wheal Coates is arguably one of the most iconic engine houses in Cornwall and, upon visiting the spot and seeing it for yourselves, it’s easy to see why. Get there just before the sun goes down and experience one of the finest sunsets you’re ever likely to see!
