A weekend in Falmouth with the kids

This weekend is built around short hops and good snack stops, with one big drive. Day one starts at Glynn House, a stately home, then it's 8 miles to Game Of Cones for lunch. It's an ice cream stop with a 5/5 food hygiene rating, open daily 11:00–18:00. From there it's a further 8.8 miles to Castle Canyke for the afternoon. Day two is the long one, because Land's End is 52.6 miles on, so pack the car games. After that everything is close. The Old Success Inn, also rated 5/5 for hygiene and open from 08:30, is 1.1 miles away, and Greeb Farm, which states disabled access, is just 1.2 miles further.

For a base, Coble Cottage in Falmouth sleeps 4 and sits 0.7 miles from Porthcurnick beach, which the Environment Agency rates Excellent for bathing water. Bigger families might prefer Turnpike Cottage in Portscatho, which sleeps 6. Coming by train? The nearest station to Falmouth is Falmouth Town.
