14 Best Sports & Activity Venues In Cornwall

They are genuinely different courses, even though the game is the same. Cornwall FootballGolf Park and Crazy Football Golf use a football rather than a club, which levels things for a child with no swing. Woodland Adventure Golf, Saltash and Holywell Bay Golf stay closer to the traditional version. Choose by the sport your child already likes, because the format matters far less than the ball does.

Riding centres set their own minimum ages and weights and they do not bend them, so the answer depends on the venue rather than on your child. Horse Riding Cornwall records covered and open space alike, which points to a school as well as hacking, and an indoor school is what makes a first lesson work for a young rider. Cornwall Swimming Horses is a different proposition and suits confident older children.

Most of it stops being fun. Eleven of the fourteen record outdoor space and only five record anything under cover, so a wet Cornish day cuts the category hard. Cardinham Woods is the honourable exception, on the grounds that a wood in the rain is still a wood. Anything on this page involving a ball or a kart wants a dry afternoon behind it.
