Family experiences, Fowey Hall

There’s something undeniably magical about summer in Cornwall. The salty sea breeze, the sparkle of sunlight on the water, the feel of sand between your toes—it’s the kind of place that brings out the wide-eyed wonder in all of us, no matter our age. And if you’re planning a summer escape to Fowey Hall, you’re in the perfect spot to tick off a family-friendly Cornish bucket list that’s brimming with adventure, joy, and just a little bit of nostalgia.

1. Beachcombing and Rock Pooling at Readymoney Cove

Just a short stroll from Fowey Hall, this sheltered cove is perfect for little explorers. Pack a bucket and spade, search for shells and sea glass, and discover tiny crabs nestled in the rock pools. It's seaside simplicity at its finest.

 

2. Crabbing on the Quay

No Cornish childhood (or adulthood!) is complete without a go at crabbing. Pick up a crab line and bucket from the hotel, findsome bait, and settle in on the Fowey harbour wall. Patience pays off—and squeals of delight are guaranteed.

3. A Boat Trip Along the Fowey Estuary

Hop aboard a family-friendly boat trip for a scenic cruise along the estuary. Spot seabirds, watch the sailboats drift by, and enjoy the thrill of being on the open water. It’s a memory in the making.

4. Cornish Ice Cream with a View

Vanilla, clotted cream, or wild strawberry—whatever your flavour, there’s nothing quite like a scoop of Cornish ice cream enjoyed with a view of the sea. We recommend either walking into Fowey and finding a sunny bench above the town for the full experience.

5. Sunset Stories and Starlit Skies

Back at Fowey Hall, end the day with bedtime tales and toasted marshmallows under the stars. Whether you’re five or fifty-five, moments like this are what summer holidays are all about.

Fowey Hall is more than a base—it’s part of the adventure. Book your Cornish summer stay today and start ticking off the ultimate family bucket list. Because the best memories are the ones made together.
