We are going to Cornwall, near Wadebridge, for a week over Christmas. Other than the Eden project, which we plan to visit, does anyone know of any good places to visit or eat at? Our kids are aged 3,6 and 8.

Stay away from Newquay. It is the only crap place [apart from Land's End] in all of Cornwall. Totally destroyed by greed, avarice and downright bad taste.
For just one day out go to Goonhilly Downs? See all the dishes, Outhar, Merlin, Arthur etc Phone a friend in Australia for nothing while you are there? Go on to Lizard Point, the most southerly point of England and totally unspoilt. Flambards near Helston for the bairns. Culdrose Naval Base but check opening times.
The lost gardens of Heligan (if you can find them) is worth factoring in while doing Eden. You can easily do both on a day out, by starting at Heligan.
Wednesday go to Boscastle Hotel for the folk songs and music.
Walk on the Trebetherick beaches. Eat in Rick Stein's place in Padstow a.) if you can get in b.) if you can afford it.
Have you bikes? Do the Camel trail but watch the tides. The we'uns 'll love it. Kernow abú

i went to the eden project,penzance,lands end etc when i was 6 and had the time of my life. cornwall is best when you have a car as everything is so sparse and spread out. i recommend taking them to lands end as theres a theme park that'll keep em quiet for a bit and a playground right near the edge of the sea with a HUGE adventure ship they can run around in, i believe its called ;the last labyrinth' but never been able to find anything about it

also st michaels mount (monastery on an island) near penzance is good for a look, check the tides though. St ives is a really pretty village, go there just for a wander around and to see the boats coming in. lands end is a waste of time.
