Pleasure boating lake for rowing boats and really impressive gardens to walk around. Look out for the ducks and swans. Check out the history of how it was constructed! Lakeside Cafe is a great food venue

Outdoor activity

Cornwall's very popular and justifiably so walking and cycle trail. Can be accessed from Bodmin, Wadebridge or Padstow, 10 miles each way or just do what you fancy. Virtually flat as it was an old railway line. Cycle hire in Wadebridge and Padstow.
