I'm in Cornwall, what shall I do tomorrow.

[Toddlerteaplease]

Staying near Eden project. Weather not forecast to be great. Not paying £29 for the Eden Project. And all national trust houses are closed.

If you don't mind a drive (about an hour) how about Trebah Gardens?

You have to pre-book but there's places available from 12.30 onwards, and if is pees down you can hide in the Gunnera Passage!

The Roseland peninsula (St Just, St Mawes etc) which is in between there and where you're staying is also really pretty if you wanted to break the journey one way or another.

Put your waterproofs in the car and drive somewhere. The weather is so changeable down here that you can easily get lovely sunny spells when ten miles away it rains all day.
But I’m annoyingly optimistic and head for the beach in damp weather in the hopes that nobody else will be there - I’m often right.

We're just back from Fowey and I didn't think it was too bad in terms of business other than trying to find somewhere to eat/drink (which requires booking ahead by at least a few days).

Yep get your waterproofs and some dry clothes, flask of tea, head out to the beach. Cornwall is often 4 seasons in one day, you won't enjoy yourself if you sulk about waiting for it to be sunny.

Go and have a look round Mevagissey, eat fish n chips on the harbour.

Screech owl sanctuary is nice.

I would love to be in Cornwall right now, rain or no rain.

We got up Friday morning and it was grey and drizzly. Had planned to meet a family at the beach an hour away (in Cornwall). Had a brilliant time and the photos look like it was sunny all day!

Thanks all, I decided on Mevagissy this morning and the seal sanctuary this afternoon. It's just me.( 38) and no kids to entertain. Some great ideas, thanks.

Went to Cornwall many many years ago .

I recall going too, and enjoying
Mousehole
Mevagissey
Lizard Point
Cape Cornwall (where we saw seals in the sea) (Dad refused to pay to see Lands End so a friendly person told us its just as nice to see Cape Cornwall)
Penzance and St Michael's Mount

We were staying at Godolphin Cross near Helston

It's surprisingly quiet here. Perched on the harbour wall with a very nice coffee.

Don't go to Eden on a rainy day. Its better when everyone else has gone to the beach.

yy @MintyCedric Trebah is awesome for skimming stones too.

It’s just you? I am green with envy.

Buy nice food and drinks. Stash them in a backpack with a blanket and book. Wander wherever the mood takes you

Oh and Charlestown which , at the time, had some replica of an olden days ship in its pretty harbour
It was really pretty there

Pay for the Eden project. It's worth it

If you're going to do Eden at some point book in advance online, cheaper.

Arh, sounds perfect, OP, I'm massively jealous! Have a lovely day!

Omg just you! Amazing.

We like woodland walks when it’s raining - Lerryn is lovey.

Really isn't amazing to be here on my own. I wish I had another person to share it with!

Found w Locke tea room In mevagissy. Got offered 3 types of Earl Grey and three types of fruit scone. Can't cope with so much choice!

A lovely!

Enjoy it! Mevagissey is one of our favourites. Wish I could go off on my own!

Sorry for my insensitive comment Toddlerteaplease, I think I assumed from your username that you were having a break from producing toddler teas etc, & projected my own desire to be on my own right now (PMT!) & of course I have no idea of how you feel about being on your own & shouldn’t have framed my response as I did.

What were the three types of fruit scone? I do love a scone!

Glad you had a good time - the seal sanctuary is fun, if a bugger to find.

I'm v. envious of your solo holiday, I was meant to be in Yorkshire for a short break on my own this weekend but the event was cancelled due to Covid.

@justdontatme I didn't think you were insensitive at all. My username is based on how I drink my tea. Much to my colleagues disgust!

I live Glendurgan gardens with the maze and you end up down on the river. Years ago I used to take the kids to a mine when it was raining. I think it was the Poldark mine but I'm not sure it's open now.
