1-Bedroom Hot Tub Hut in Trevalga - Fun Days Out

The Museum of Witchcraft and Magic is in the village of Boscastle in Cornwall. It is dedicated to European witchcraft and magic, with exhibits on folk magic, ceremonial magic, Freemasonry and Wicca. Its collection of such objects has been described as the largest in the world.

The museum was founded by the English folk magician Cecil Williamson in 1951 as the Folklore Centre of Superstition and Witchcraft on the Isle of Man. It moved to Boscastle in 1960. It also holds a large library on related topics, which researchers can use. The museum is held in high esteem by the British occult community, and the Wikipedia entry calls it a popular tourist attraction. You can also search its objects, archive and library on its website before you go.

Tip: The museum's website says there is no parking at the museum, so plan how you will get to Boscastle before you set off.

Camel Creek is a family adventure park near Wadebridge in North Cornwall. The mix includes thrill rides and rollercoasters, outdoor play areas and animal areas, so there is plenty to fill a day. Its indoor play space covers 45,000 square feet, which means a wet day need not spoil the plan.

Other attractions include a 5D theatre with moving seats and 3D glasses, the Creeky's Playhouse soft play area and Swamp Busters. The park also runs special seasonal events through the year, and offers a Junior Keeper experience where children spend time behind the scenes caring for reptiles and meerkats. The park also says it has inclusive rides and facilities, with details on its accessibility page.

Tip: Check the park's website before you go for current tickets and events, as offers change. If a free return pass is offered with day tickets, read the terms first: it is non-transferable and excludes Toddler Takeover days, birthday parties, group bookings and school visits.

Newquay Zoo is a 13-acre zoo and garden site in Trenance Leisure Park, in the middle of Newquay. It is the largest zoo in Cornwall, and its planted grounds have won a Britain in Bloom Gold award. Visitors can see hundreds of species, including lynx, penguins, otters, zebras, sloths and meerkats, in a mix of indoor and outdoor habitats.

There are keeper talks and live feeds, an outdoor play area near the meerkats and the Tarzan Trail behind the Savannah. Café Lemur, seasonal food outlets and plenty of picnic benches and lawns make it easy to stay for a while. Reviewers describe it as a smaller zoo that is good for young children who can't manage long distances, and a few hours is a typical visit. Some development work is under way, so parts may be temporarily closed.

Tip: Check the zoo's website for current opening times, ticket offers and parking details before you go, as these can change.

King Arthur's Great Halls stand on Fore Street in Tintagel and are dedicated entirely to the legend of King Arthur. The building opened in 1933 and was built by Frederick Thomas Glasscock as the headquarters of the Fellowship of the Knights of the Round Table of King Arthur. Fifty-three different types of Cornish stone were used in its construction.

The main draw is the art. Veronica Whall's stained-glass windows illustrate the Arthurian tales and show the coats of arms and weapons of the knights involved. There are also several paintings of scenes from Arthur's life by William Hatherell. You enter through a King Arthur themed shop and bookshop at the front. The site describes more than 2 million visitors since it opened, and reviewers praise the windows and the great hall itself.

Tip: You enter through the King Arthur themed shop at the front, so head straight through it to reach the halls and windows.

Screech Owl Sanctuary & Animal Park is a home for owls and other animals on Goss Moor, near Indian Queens in mid Cornwall. Founded in 1990 by Carolyn Screech, it shows owls from around the world, with British, European, African, American, Asian, Australasian and West Indian species. It also rescues and rehabilitates wild owls in Cornwall, and there is a Siberian Eagle Owl breeding project.

Alongside the owls you will find other animals, including wallabies, meerkats, foxes and lemurs. There is a play area and a cafe, plus a gift shop. Keepers run hands-on sessions where you can learn to hold an owl on the glove, or go into an enclosure to meet some of the animals. Education is a core part of the work, so you will learn about the birds and their conservation as you go round.

Tip: If you want an owl or animal experience, call ahead to book, as busy periods may mean walk-up requests can't be fitted in.

The Eden Project sits in a reclaimed china clay pit in Cornwall. At the bottom of the pit are two huge domed Biomes made of inflated cells on steel frames. The Rainforest Biome is one of the largest indoor rainforests in the world, with tropical plants such as banana, coffee, rubber and giant bamboo. The Mediterranean Biome has olives, grape vines and sculptures.

Outside, a meandering path takes you through planted landscapes, vegetable gardens and outdoor gardens, with sculptures along the way, including a giant bee. There are cafés and restaurants on site, plus art, exhibitions and play areas. It suits plant fans, garden lovers and anyone curious about how the natural world works, and it is run by a charity.

Tip: Check the opening times page before you set off, as last entry to the Biomes and closing times change through the year, and some dates are closed.

Outside, the formal garden is known for its magnolias and has a parterre and herbaceous borders. Beyond it lie almost 1,000 acres of parkland, woodland and heath, with two miles of the River Fowey. There are woodland cycle trails, from gentle family routes to mountain bike descents, plus a play area, cafés, a plant centre and a second-hand bookshop. It suits families, history fans and anyone who likes a long walk with a good tea at the end.

Tip: It is busiest between 11am and 2pm, so arrive later in the day for a quieter visit and shorter queues for the house.
