Boscoppa Farm

So, to the Eden Project (10 minutes’ drive) to start with? It’s a fine choice – this is Cornwall’s most popular visitor attraction for a reason. The indoor and outdoor gardens are packed with plant species from around the world, and the attraction also has an imaginative play area, an adventure park and an events space that stages major musical events. Plant enthusiasts should also add several other local attractions to their list, including Tregrehan Garden (10 minutes’ drive) and the Lost Gardens of Heligan (20 minutes) – or perhaps a tour of Camel Valley vineyard (half an hour). Meanwhile, for more outdoor activity, try a game at Cornwall Football Golf Park (five minutes). Dipping into the area’s heritage might take you to Wheal Martyn Clay Works, the Shipwreck Treasure Museum (both 10 minutes) or the Bodmin Jail Attraction (25 minutes). The fishing villages of Mevagissey (20 minutes) and Fowey (25 minutes) are both good places to get a sense of times gone by as well.
