There's a lot of really interesting history to read and some great pictures to go along with it. In the second building there's about 8 working rides that operate on a token payment system. Most of them are pretty tame, but they're still fun for a wide range of ages, and great nostalgia. While it's fun, it's not really a day out: you are unlikely to be there for more than a few hours unless you spend the whole time on rides! But it's nice to visit of an afternoon if you're local to the area, and if not, maybe pop in on the way to or from somewhere else.

I visited Dingles steam village last summer and found it to be a very good day out. In the main…read morebuilding there is a museum showing some steam machines and exhibitions detailing the history of fairgrounds. We spent a few hours looking around this part and found it really interesting. There was also an organ that a member of staff from Dingles played. The second building contained 3 or 4 classic fairground rides, which you could ride for a small fee. There were also some push penny machines which were fun to use. The people who work there seem to be very passionate about what they do and I enjoyed the day there.

The accommodation is very comfortable with a kitchenette and dish washer. There is a community laundry. Breakfast at the clubhouse is traditional English Breskfast. Service is friendly and good.

We took our son a while ago and he was totally transfixed by the fish, and we thoroughly enjoyed it as well. I was particularly taken with the sea horse and could have stood and watched them for ages. It does seem a bit expensive, but then a place like that must take some running. There was a cafe and shop with a wide range of gifts from pocket money to quite a bit more money. Definitely worth a look in with or without kids if you like fish, and the setting right next to the beach is beautiful too.

The staff all around the aquarium are very friendly and helpful and give talks to people on the creatures and will answer any questions you have. The only downside I found was we got around a bit too quickly as with small children they didn't want to hear many of the details they just wanted to look at things, so perhaps best for older children I'd say if you want to make a day of it, as with small children you could be in and out in an hour which makes it expensive. x

My family and I recently completed a 4 day bespoke tour of Cornwall. We're Americans and this was…read moreour first time in Cornwall. I have to say, this was a terrific trip. The routes planned by Cornish Cycle Tours were spectacularly beautiful with scenery changing every 1/2 day so we were never bored. The proprietor, Lanyon, was super accommodating to our desires for a slightly shorter trip than the standard web offerings. The bikes for hire were of good quality for going up the hills and dales of Cornwall. Plenty of places to stop and tour or just grab some fuel to push onward. Luggage always successfully transferred. Having been on Backroads and Butterfield and Robinson trips before, the Cornish routes were the equal if not superior at far less the price (that said, the hotels are adequate-to-good). If you've never cycle-toured the UK before, check out this company.

We decided to tour in Cornwall on an 8 day tour using Cornish Cycle Tours. This was a long…read moreanticipated family trip for my two children (ages 22 and 19), my husband and myself, and our first time to Cornwall. The countryside is beautiful, though a bit hillier than expected. Lanyon outfitted us with hybrid bicycles adjusted to our sizes, helmets and paniers with tools. He also gave us written directions and map. Even though Cornish Cycle Tours is a small outfit, Lanyon took good care of us. He worked with us to adjust our tour after we discovered how difficult the terrain is. We're fairly fit, and it took us 6-7 hours to cycle 25 miles. We were expecting that it would take us more like 3-4 hours. Once we explained our desire to do more on our vacation than just ride our bicycles, Lanyon was very accommodating. He picked us up with the luggage in the morning, and dropped us midway to ride. We also chose to hike some days rather than ride. You should be familiar with the area and/or be a good map reader. We were constantly referring to the directions and map. It would have been helpful if mileage and topography was included. At our request, Lanyon purchased tickets to the Minack Theater in Porthcurno. We thoroughly enjoyed seeing "Canterbury Tales" and would rank it one of the best experiences from our trip. Cornish Cycle Tour's prices are reasonable, service is great. You can customize your tour to make it what you want.

Why would you go to look at some steps? Well, rather like those who seek out Jacobs Ladder in…read moreWales, Bedruthan Steps hold some mystique. Couple that with some absolutely amazing views along the Cornish Coastline and you have a tourist attraction! The Bedruthan Steps are maintined by the National Trust and the steps all the way down to the beach have been rebuilt by the trust. From a car park at the top of the cliffs it is a gentle walk at firt as you start to descend. Then, at the steps you begin to realise quite how high the cliffs are. The journey down is split into several legs and,as such, it is possible to descend and yet not reach the beach below. In fact, last time I visited I was heavily pregnant and gave up at the last stage, not because I couldn't go any further at that point but because I was very mindful of the climb back up! The beach below is not owned by the NT but is spectacular. One must be careful, however, as it is not a safe bathing beach and there's a strong danger of being cut-off unexpectedly. The steps are the ONLY way back up! When you see the rocks you'll appreciate the ease with whih one could be cut off! Whilst the walk and climb are relatively easy the distance should not be underestimated and so this is not suitable for the unfit, elderly or very young. Toilets and a concession cafe are available next to the car park - these are the only facilites and they are seasonal. For spectacular views this location cannot be beaten - you might be though!
