When they were really young we went with my mum and dad and my sister, we always said it was so we could afford 2 weeks (they paid for the first week and we paid for the second!) . We always stayed around the St ives area as we found this was ideal to visit what became our favourite places such as Porthleven, St Michaels mount, Gwithian, mousehole, Peranuthno and of course St lives.<br />Our absolute favourite place for the beach was Godrevy nr Hayle. It is a huge National Trust beach with miles of sand and lots of rocks and rock pools to explore. The best thing was that even if the tide was in you could play on one of the fields/car parks. We used to play French cricket for hours on them fields, before getting an ice cream from the van. <br />One year we went in October and saw baby seals when looking over the cliffs. We always went to a little cafe down the road called 'Hells mouth cafe' ,they did a great cream tea lol . <br />Now that the kids are all grown up we go to Spain every year but we still miss Cornwall so much. We are planning a trip down there at new year so we are really excited. Cornwall will always be special to all of us.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15635851140648440417noreply@blogger.com
