Cornwall with kids: Polperro
In this blog post I will share our quick visit to Polperro in Cornwall and our photos.
We worked out this is our fourth time to Cornwall (since me and Ben have been together). We’d been for a short trip before kids to Perranporth and stayed in Ben’s tiny tent. When Bella was perhaps one or two we stayed in The Victoria Hotel in Newquay. Two years ago we stayed for one week in the middle of North Cornwall somewhere and this time we have stayed for a week at Pentewan Sands Holiday Park.
Whilst I can’t really remember too much about the first two trips, we have typically had the worst weather on both our week long stays! Continue reading “Cornwall with kids: Polperro”
Cornwall with kids: Porthluney Beach
On our recent trip to Cornwall we managed a quick stop at Porthluney Beach. See our photos and videos at the end of this blog post of Porthluney Beach.
Porthluney Beach
The day we went to Porthluney Beach was very wet and windy. Typically we had a storm that lasted two and a half days during our Cornwall holiday with high winds and heavy rain. It was non stop for nearly half our holiday!
We managed around 30 minutes on Porthluney Beach before we were all absolutely drenched, even with waterproofs and wellies! Continue reading “Cornwall with kids: Porthluney Beach”
Cornwall with kids: Hemmick Beach
In this blog post I will share our visit to Hemmick Beach in Cornwall and photos.
On our recent holiday to Cornwall with kids we visited some beaches we have never been to before in Cornwall. That was my plan for this trip. We’ve been to Cornwall around three or four times before and we usually go back to the same places each time: Portholland, Newquay and Perranporth.
There’s always good reason as Ben has family friends in Portholland that practically live on the tiny beach on one side, and his grandparents were from Perranporth and there’s a bench up above the beach that is dedicated to them. I love the beaches at Newquay and there’s lots to see and do, so we tend to go there too. Of course it’s lovely to visit these places, but as I keep saying to Ben about travelling – every time we visit the same place, we lose a chance to see somewhere new. Life is short and I want to see as many places as possible! Continue reading “Cornwall with kids: Hemmick Beach”
Cornwall with kids: walking the coast path to Mevagissey
During our October 2019 holiday to Cornwall we decided to walk the coast path from Pentewan Sands Beach to Mevagissey with the kids. Our kids are ages seven and four. It was just under 2 miles and probably just enough for them as there was lots of steep hill climbing for their little legs. We’d already walked around 8km on the beach before taking them on this trek! In this blog post I’ll share lots of photos of our coastal path walk to Mevagissey. Continue reading “Cornwall with kids: walking the coast path to Mevagissey”
Cornwall with kids: Pentewan Sands Beach
This October we went to Cornwall for one week with our kids ages seven and four years. We explored lots of beaches including Pentewan Sands Beach which is a privately owned beach in front of Pentewan Sands Holiday Park. I’ll share our thoughts of the beach and then all the photos at the end of the blog post. Continue reading “Cornwall with kids: Pentewan Sands Beach”
Brecon Beacons National Park Wales: Pen y Fan and Cribyn mountain walk
Yesterday we had a kid-free day and I wanted to climb a mountain so we drove to the Brecon Beacons National Park in Wales. We headed to the Central Beacons which took one hour 50 minutes to drive from our home in Gloucester. We climbed two peaks: Pen y Fan and Cribyn. Read on to learn the route we took and see the incredible views of Welsh Mountains. Continue reading “Brecon Beacons National Park Wales: Pen y Fan and Cribyn mountain walk”
Why would people want to visit Florida?
Florida is a destination on most people’s bucket lists. It’s also one of the most visited destinations in the US. I was recently talking to a friend about Florida as she desperately wants to go on a holiday there whilst her kids are still kids. Another friend of mine went for a once-in-a-lifetime trip to Florida last year and I know some of my family members are keen to save and go one year too. It’s likely that most of us know someone who absolutely loves Florida or is desperate to vacation there! In this blog post I will explore what makes Florida so great and why it’s a tourist hotspot. Continue reading “Why would people want to visit Florida?”

Visiting Bristol for half a day
Today me and Ben had a kid-free outing visiting Bristol for a day. We were only there for four hours in total, but it felt like a proper day out and mini-escape. If you’re wondering what you can do in half a day in Bristol, my favourite U.K. city, then read on. Continue reading “Visiting Bristol for half a day”
