Unfortunately, so far this summer holidays we have yet to experience soaring temperatures and glorious sunny weather in Cornwall as in previous years.

However, just in case the weather does eventually improve Parkdean has provided a list of some of the best 'hidden gems’ across Cornwall that might make a nice day out with family and friends during the remainder of the school holidays. 

The list is based on the number of views each has received on TikTok - suggesting they may not be so hidden after all.
