Also indoors
In the bookshop by the house you'll find a postcard-making activity, inspired by Cotehele's garden plants, the language of flowers and the postcards sent to soldiers fighting at the Front during the First World War. All ages are welcome to have a go!
At the quay
Down at the quay the wonderful Discovery Centre is filled with hands-on activities to help children find out about nature and the wildlife around Cotehele. In here there are lots of interesting facts about Shamrock, the barge being repaired on the quayside. If you are feeling nautical, you can have a go at tying knots in here too.
Down at the Mill
If you’re brave enough to pull on the wellies and splash in the puddles on the path by Morden Stream to the Mill you’ll be rewarded with baking demonstrations (and tastings!) most days, as well as early examples of milling technology which children (and adults) can have a go doing. It’s about a ten minute walk and there are pisky doors to spot along the way.
