For the last weekend in the summer holidays, before the children went back to school, we organised a budget-friendly weekend away to Helston in Cornwall. Me and Ben were keen to explore the Loe Bar which is an amazing natural place in Cornwall where there’s a large freshwater lake separated from the sea with just a small strip of sand, so on one side of the sand is a lake and on the other is the ocean!
Rather than just visit for a day, and thinking the kids wouldn’t be as excited about seeing this natural beauty as we were, we decided to turn it into a weekend away instead and take them to Flambards Theme Park which we hadn’t yet visited, as well as explore the town and nearby places.
We booked the Premier Inn in Helston which was super cheap (though I’m not sure I’d stay there again!) and explored Helston, Loe Bar, Porthleven and Praa Sands for two days.
