Ruthern Valley is a fantastic site for kids to get back to nature. Run by parents who have two small boys this holiday experience is aimed at families who prefer their kids to run around outdoors, enjoying their freedom and busy making new friends. This is not a holiday for those of you who need the nightly throb of music, flashing lights and cheesy bingo callers. You can however relax, explore and enjoy the 8 acres of mature woodland teaming with local wildlife; wild flowers are everywhere, a bubbling stream runs alongside the site and nature watchers will find themselves engaged by the antics of the squirrels and wild rabbits. Not forgetting the abundance of fantastic days out and places to see in Cornwall.
