karting / Water Sports / Swimming
Kartworld, Cornwall's best karting track is just down road on the A38. (If you've only ever done indoor karting, you'll be thrilled by how much faster and exciting it is on a more open, outdoor track!) Next door to Kartworld is Adrenalin Quarry, an amazing attraction featuring the UK's "Maddest Zip Wire", the 150 feet high Giant Swing, freshwater coasteering and "The Blob". Children of 10 or older are welcome.

Sailing, windsurfing, kayaking, cable wakeboarding, segway, hire and tuition can be found at Siblyback, which also has a cafe.

Swimming at pools in Liskeard and Bodmin.

And, of course, the sea. We are 11 miles from the south coast and 18 miles from the north coast.
