I was down near Fowey a couple of months ago. Tons to see and do round there. The Eden Project is just down the road from St Austell and well worth a visit.

Have a wee look here for more ideas.

St Austell itself is one of the 'not so nice' spots in Cornwall, along with Redruth and Camborne!! - the only good thing at St Austell is the Eden Project.

Hopefully you wont have a view of the clay pits where you are staying :-)

Hi,
When we last went to Treveague Farm we mainly went on the different beaches around the area. You have got the lost gardens of Heligan near by, also Mevegissey fishing village which is quiet nice.

The views from the site are lovely, our children loved the campsite, since we last visited they have got a childrens playarea.

Hi we stayed at Tregarton Park in June.

If you get nice weather 17 Caerhays Beach (also known as Porthluney Cove) is nice. It's near Gorran Haven. The car park is right next to the beach and there's a small shop/cafe as well as toilets but it's not commercialised.

The Eden Project is quite expensive - I would say to maybe go to The Lost Gardens of Heligan - better value for money.

And as the previous poster says - Mevagissey's nice.  You should be able to get a boat trip from the harbour.

Enjoy your holiday 17

i dont think the eden project is very good for young children, although i love it , gorran haven is a lovely beach small children like it. it has a stream running down through it, and a harbour if any of you like crabbing or fishing.

 if the weather is not so good there is a good leisure centre in st austell. and as said caerhays is good another stream running down the beach and lots of rock pools.

we used to stay at seaview international excellent site. but we stay on a c&cc site now that suits us. more central since the boys stopped coming with us.

good luck have a great time.

Possibly if its a wet day then Bens playworld, which seems to have changed its name, but here is a link.

Have not been here myself for years, but maybe another place to keep on the reserve list!!!

Enjoy your holiday!

You think newquay is nice i think that it's a turd hole, primarily because of all the pubs nightclubs and cheap tourist stuff.

I personally perfer either st ives or truro or penzance.
