3 days in Falmouth with older parents

Three days from Falmouth, built around short hops and proper sit-down lunches. Day one keeps everything close: it's just 1.1 miles from Coast The Exhibition to lunch at The Old Success Inn, which holds a 5/5 food hygiene rating and is open daily from 08:30 to 21:00. From there it's 1.2 miles on to Greeb Farm, which states disabled access. Days two and three each begin with a longer drive, 42.8 and 32.3 miles respectively, so allow for an unhurried start. After that, the stops sit between 4.2 and 8.5 miles apart.

All three lunch stops (The Old Success Inn, Archie's Fish & Chips and Fat Apples Cafe) carry a 5/5 hygiene rating. For a base, Bluebell House in Falmouth sleeps 6 and is near a bus stop. Verbena Cottage in Portscatho is 1.3 miles from Pendower beach, where the Environment Agency rates the bathing water Excellent. If you're arriving by train, Falmouth Town is the nearest station.

Day 1

This is the gentlest day of the three. It's 1.1 miles from Coast The Exhibition to The Old Success Inn (open daily 08:30–21:00), then just 1.2 miles to Greeb Farm, which states disabled access.

Day 2

The longest drive of the trip comes first, 42.8 miles to the Screech Owl Sanctuary, so set off unhurried and plan a break along the way. From there it's 4.2 miles to Archie's Fish & Chips, whose listed lunch hours include 12:00–14:00 Wednesday to Saturday (check it suits your day before setting out), then 6.4 miles to St columb Major Smallseum.

Day 3

The day opens with a 32.3-mile run to Predannick Anti-Aircraft Battery. After that come shorter hops: 7.5 miles to Fat Apples Cafe (5/5 hygiene rating) for lunch, then 8.5 miles to finish at the Lizard Wireless Station.
