?I'm Bored!? Things to do in Cornwall, England ... - Travel & Leisure

UK TimeshareHolidays in Cornwall might take you to some of the most beautiful, historic and breathtaking places you have ever seen, but even the most idyllic beauty spots can be ruined by repeated chants of ?I?m bored?.

So what can you do to keep boredom at bay? The answer is, what can?t you do. Whether you?re after big days out or bargain Cornwall attractions to keep the costs down, this glorious county was simply made for holidays ? so whatever you?re after and however small you budget, there is plenty on offer to keep everyone happy.

One lesser known place to visit is Mousehole Bird Hospital ? a centre for ill or injured birds that was first started in 1928. You?ll find birds of all shapes, sizes and species here and there are plenty of permanent residents. It?s free to enter and there?s a small on-site souvenir shop too.

For group days out in Cornwall ? there is tons of things you can do. Try your hand at water sports such as kayaking, canoeing or paddle boarding. Saddle up and take the kids riding on the beach with a local trekking centre. Or hire some bikes and take off on a tour of the county?s best off-road trails, enjoying the rolling countryside and stopping off for a pub lunch.

A seaside holiday in Cornwall is like fish and chips or donkey rides on the beach: a much-loved English classic. But when you?ve got the kids in tow it?s essential to keep things varied ? and luckily for you, family days out in Cornwall are just about as varied as they come.

For older children or those with a burning desire to try something different, a surfing or body boarding lesson is an absolute must. It?s bound to give you great laughs and burn off all that excess energy too. Newquay is the obvious place but there are many other spots on the coast which offer qualified instructors and great waves ? try Polzeath on the north coast, or Sennen on the far western tip of the county.

A free activity that will get you out in the open air is hunting down Cornwall?s historic monuments. The Iron Age village near Penzance is one perfect example ? a historical treat that was thought to have been occupied around 2,000 years ago. The county is also full of castles, from Pendennis Castle in Falmouth to Tintagel Castle on the beautiful and rugged North Cornwall coast. All of these sites have been carefully preserved and make for a great day out with the kids.

Whatever you fancy, Cornwall is home to a huge and varied range of activities ? which will (almost) certainly keep the ?b? word at bay!
