What should I do for a few days in Cornwall?

Question

Going for my cousin's wedding, so there's that, but we'll have (Good) Friday and Saturday, and perhaps (Easter) Sunday to drive around a bit.
Me, husband, daughters 11 & 8. Staying near Newquay.

Answer 1

Minack theatre have a show on. It's an open air theatre in the cliff overlooking the sea -absolutely stunning. Worth doing at some point if you dont manage to get tickets this time. Dairyland is near newquay with its animals and trampolines, might be a bit young for the 11 year old though? have a look online. I would highly reccomend the Camel Trail, it's the old railway and it follows the river so its all flat - you should start in wadebridge and cycle to padstow for lunch and back. theres cycle hire shops at both ends, could even get a tandem! Padstow has some really nice places for food too, nice pubs and even rick steins restaurant or fish and chip shop. Really good day out and the kids are bound to like the cycle ride. The Watering Hole is a really nice pub actually on the beach in Perranporth, -just along the coast from newquay- its not overly cheap (but not too expensive) and its family friendly with great food. just remember to wear shoes that you dont mind walking on the beach in! Have a great time!

Answer 2

I've once spend a fortnight walking the Cornish coast path,
I found the village of Cadgwith particularly charming,with
extremely friendly villagers a charming old pub and fine
restaurant to boot.
You can stand on the Todden ( Jutted out Rock ) and watch
the fishing boats come in,or even help them.
If that is too Quiet I recommend Helston as a larger town
for an afternoon visit, go for a refreshment to the Blue Anchor
and listen to the stories of their on the premises brewed real
Ale being shipped to the most unlikely places,
Try a visit to the mousehole ( village ),an unimaginable labyrinth of small alleyways (No cars allowed in the village,
not that that is possible anyway )
Find an Arts and Craft centre where they work Serpentine rock,somewhere near Mullion Cove I Believe.
Avoid Penzance and Land's and like the plague,they are regular tourist traps.
Do take a walk along the coast if the weather permits it for
an hour or to it is breathtakingly beautiful.relaxing and stimulating at the same time.

I wish you lots of fun, congratulate Bride and Groom for me
