Cornwall - great location for family holidays

just back, all the family had a great time (smallies).

Stayed in a holiday park (caravan park with pool, bar, entertainment etc), Hendra near Newquay. Loads to do for families within easy driving distance e.g:

Dairyland Farm (pet zoo, loadza kiddies play areas areas, great museum)
Crealy Adventure Park (thrill rides park but loads for small kids too)
Eden Project -bit more for grown ups but a must see
Lands End - the tip of England, various exhibits, shows, shopping, food too
St. Ives/Padstow/Newquay/Falmouth - just a selection of the towns well worth a stroll around, beautiful harbours & beaches, nice shopping, good food etc.

At least as many other attractions we didnt get to (e.g. Tunnels Through Time, Lappa Valley, The Minack Theatre for a show)

For families with young kids I think its better than France (done that before as well). Will be back!

Sounds great but not so if it rains for duration of hol

Yes, you takes your chances on the weather, but unless you get down a good bit south in France I'd say the weather profile compared to Brittany wouldnt be that different.

Also, with small kids, you dont want/need it to be too hot or sunny. Low 20's with occasional sun is grand.
