Entertainment for all the family even the dog (Cornwall's most dog-friendly attraction), recently described by Holiday Which Magazine as "a delightfully eccentric museum created on the back of one man's passion for music boxes, Wurlitzers and organs of yesteryear. Paul personally guides you around his collection, treating you to performances and dipping into his encyclopaedic knowledge."

Churchtown Farm Nature Reserve in Saltash, managed by Cornwall Wildlife Trust, is an important place for both people and wildlife. The Reserve has a wild variety of different wildlife habitats, mostly hay meadows with arable fields, woodland, wetland, scrub, rocky shoreline, mudflats and an extensive network of hedgerows.

The Sanctuary is based at Murrayton between Seaton and Looe.  As well as being a home to rescued monkeys, it is also a chance to learn about primates and the problems they face both in the wild and in captivity. 

Experienced monkey keepers give talks throughout the day, giving visitors an insight into the world of a busy monkey sanctuary.  The orienteering trail and the bat cave is a must.  Often available are children’s workshops and face painting. An award winning vegetarian café is on site.
