This August 2020, I’ve arranged for an annual leave of a couple of days to attend a festival. Unfortunately, it was cancelled due to the pandemic. My alternative getaway wasn’t as grand but it was definitely memorable fun.
Unlike my first visit to Cornwall (by car hire), this time, I took the train. There’s a direct train to Truro from London Paddington with GWR. For my return ticket, it was £121. One way is 4.5 hours travel.
The day that I arrived, they toured me in the center and helped them with grocery shopping for Jett’s birthday bash.
Flambards Theme Park at Helston
Admission: £19.49
Do check the website because they have various prices for rides or attraction choices as well as NHS discount. Apart from the rides, they have indoor activities/attractions too.
The Lost Gardens of Heligan at St. Austell
Admission: £16
I didn’t have much video in this place, especially the best parts, because my battery drained out. It was a vast estate to explore.
Lanhydrock House and Garden in Bodmin
We didn’t have time to explore much in here since it was almost closing time when we arrived. We just went straight to the Lanhydrock house and garden.
Jett’s Birthday
Definitely, one thing I’ve learned from this pandemic is to appreciate local destinations. Also, staycations can be the best if spent with the best people.
