Entertainment & Activities

The Eden Project is one of Cornwall's greatest achievements. Two biomes nestled into a quarry crater. There are always a variety of activities planned for children and adults all year round. In winter it boasts THE BEST Santa's grotto and an Ice Rink. Wonderful fresh food grown and prepared on the premises. Great gif shop. Not too be missed.

Food Scene

Good wholesome mainly locally sourced food. The owners Simon and Sam are wonderful hosts and will happily adjust the menu slightly to suit you. Serving lunch and dinner or you can just stay for nibbles and drinks at the bar. A children's menu is available and also wonderful ice cream to take away. In the conservatory is an array of local gifts and produce to buy and if you suddenly realise that you are out of wine, you can usually buy a bottle to take home.

Great little place, at low tide you can walk to it from Downderry via Seaton along the beach. They do lovely food and the service tends to be spot on. It is a long walk (1 - 2 hours) and not recommended for little ones. You can even continue walking all the way to Looe if you are feeling refreshed and hail a cab back to Downderry.

Wonderful beach for children, full of rock pools to explore at low tide. It is a wonderfully charming spot when the small fishing boats are out on the water. Lots of local children frequent this beach and the best swimming spot is usually where the boats are moored. People tend to kayak and windsurf between Downderry and Seaton to the right and Portwrinkle to the left. There is no lifeguard presence on this beach. You may spot local surfers here (usually in the winter months)...shh...this is a local secret.
