Top Holiday Resorts In Cornwall

Rolling hills, sandy coves and whitewashed fishing villages are just some of the delights you can expect to enjoy in Cornwall. If you've decided to stay at one of the holiday parks in Cornwall this summer, you will find the region extraordinarily rich in all the ingredients that go together to make a great family holiday destination.

Enjoying the mildest climate in the UK, the region is one of outstanding natural beauty, from the heather-clad moors of Bodmin to the steep granite cliffs of the coastline, where cobbled alleyways wind their way up hillsides forming some of the prettiest villages in the country.

Newquay, with its famous Fistral Beach, is surf capital of the UK, whilst Falmouth is a yachting hotspot with an excellent museum celebrating a rich maritime heritage. St Austell harks back to Cornwall's rich industrial past when the town was centre of the local china clay trade in the 18th century, whilst Land's End marks the most South-Westerly tip of Britain, and lies close to the popular neighbouring resorts of Penzance and St Ives. Wherever you plan to stay, your holiday in Cornwall is guaranteed to transport you to a simple and relaxing land of traditional pleasures.

Catering for families is something that you will find Cornwall does in abundance, with dozens of holiday parks up and down the region selling their own special brand of traditional British fun. All of them offer a wide choice of accommodation from tents to caravans, mobile homes and chalets to top quality hotel rooms at reasonable prices.

Thanks to Cornwall's mild climate, many of the parks have outdoor swimming pools as well as indoor, and activities for the whole family in the form of amusements, crazy golf and funfair rides, to name but a few. The great advantage for families is that most of the entertainment is free, with frequent performances from TV celebrities appealing to young and old alike. Each of Cornwall's parks has its own special character, from large and lively to small and relaxing, but all offer the best of South-Western hospitality and wherever you are, the beach is never far away.

Whether you choose a holiday park close to the sea or in a more rural setting, you'll be within easy reach of dozens of local attractions. If you stay around St Austell, you'll find yourself close to the Eden Project, Cornwall's most famous attraction, where the natural habitats and climates of the world are beautifully recreated in a number of unique glass domes, providing an unforgettable and educational day out for the whole family.

Those who love wildlife should take the opportunity to visit Newquay Zoo, winner of several tourism awards, with hundreds of animals from around the world and plenty of interactive fun for the children.

Close to the idyllic fishing village of Looe you'll find the Monkey Sanctuary, a wonderful attraction bringing together primates from around the world.

On the other hand if you just want to relax, you're certain to find your place in the dozens of hidden sandy coves of the Cornish coastline, or simply marvel at the stunning views as you enjoy coast and cliff-top walks.
