Planning the perfect Mother’s Day in Cornwall

The beach is always our go-to when it comes to recommendations for family activities – there’s nothing quite like feeling the cool sand between your toes and the wind whipping your hair on a glorious spring day.

Here in Cornwall, we’re blessed with numerous beaches around our unique coastline, from the rolling cliffs of south Cornwall, to the dramatic seascape of the north coast. Head to some of our popular seaside towns, like Newquay or Falmouth, and you’ll never be too far from a post-walk cup of tea, either.

You can check out some of our favourite loop walks (with pub stops!) right here.

In Cornwall, you’re never too far from a talented artisan maker, no matter your taste or style. Whether your mother enjoys homeware, jewellery, or delicious local foods, here are some Cornish favourites:

• Handcrafted pottery: Natalie Bonney Ceramics hand-throws her pieces in Constantine, using her inspiration of the sea, as seen through the blues in her collection. The perfect addition to any kitchen!
• Sea glass jewellery: Sadie Jewellery crafts sea glass collected from Cornish beaches into bespoke rings and necklaces – a magical way to carry a piece of the ocean wherever you go. ​
• Cornish hampers: The Cornish Hamper Store offers baskets filled with local delicacies, including Cornish pasties, cream teas, and artisan cheeses – plus Mother’s Day specials.
• Homeware: Based in Perranporth, Atlantic Blankets creates cosy throws inspired by the sea and coast – ideal for snuggling up on cooler evenings. ​
• Cornish skincare: Unique hair and skincare products made by the Cornish Seaweed Bath Co. in West Cornwall offer a great alternative for mums who want to use something a little more natural on their skin.
