Some places just feel like home. At Tredethick, families come back year after year -not just for the countryside or the facilities, but for moments that matter. Evening strolls to say goodnight to the animals, space for little ones to roam, and a place that grows with your family.

✨ "Tredethick is the only place we have gone back to time and time again. We like to have lots of new experiences and are always looking for something new or 'better', but nothing is better than Tredethick. The facilities, the countryside, the evening stroll to say goodnight to the goats… we will keep coming until the kids are all grown up… and then bring the grandchildren!" Jo P, Google review, December 2024.

Whether it’s a quiet walk through the trees, a pause to spot wildlife, or little ones clambering on swings and ropes, there’s room for everyone to relax and play in their own way.

Gratuitous floral spamming incoming! 🌸✨ We’re teetering on the edge of the most glorious time of year, as magnolias lift their wistful heads to the burgeoning sun. (Yes, we’re getting poetic. Brace yourselves.)

If you haven’t yet wandered a Cornish hedgerow in spring, you’re in for a treat. As a Wiltshire-born girl (with a soft spot for cow parsley-frilled verges), I’ll admit that Cornwall’s hedgerows can send me into disloyal paroxysms of joy - and botanical debates. What’s the most winning combination? Primroses and violets? Bluebells in their pure form? Stitchwort and red campion tumbling together?

Cornish country lanes in spring are heart-skippingly beautiful.

🐴 Meet Ladybird! 🐴

From marine ply off-cuts to an old leather saddle (thanks Little Joe!), and Ash logs grown on the farm , Ladybird embodies our commitment to circularity. Crafted with skill, care, and a touch of genius by our maintenance supremo, John, she’s a true farm original. 💛

Swipe through to see Saskia beaming on her back, the making-of process, and Ladybird in all her handcrafted glory! On Stories, catch the moment John unveiled her in the back barn. 🎥✨

This week, she’ll trot over to our Mini Jockeys’ Station - a place to learn, practice, and play before little riders take a gentle lead-in ride on Little Joe or T***s. 🏇

And her mane? Made from mop strands, thanks to the brilliant idea of John’s wife, Annette - a fitting finishing touch for our beautifully upcycled horse. 🧡

Her name is also a tribute to our beloved veteran pony, Ladybird, who gave so many little ones their first magical pony ride. 💕

A huge thank you to John for his incredible craftsmanship and passion for creating such a unique beautiful horse for our mini riders!

For us women. The mums who bring their little ones here, the little girls who find their confidence in fresh air, the animals and the adventures, the women who care for animals and land, the ones keeping everything running - on tractors, in wellies, behind the scenes. And the mares, like T***s, swift yet careful, carrying their tiny riders with quiet responsibility.

This is for them. For us 💚

📸 Thanks to and for these beautiful moments.

☀️ June on the farm… and on the coast🏡🌊

Sauntering ahead to June: long, golden evenings. Little adventurers running barefoot. Beach days and farm mornings. Good value holidays. June is when Cornwall slows down just enough - warm days without the summer crowds.

The perfect time to escape with your little ones before summer gets busy.

"I would tell myself 10 years ago - look at what we’ve developed and held. Look at the joy this farm brings, the families who return year after year, the wonderful animals and people who fill this little corner of Cornwall with life."

Ten years of this photo tradition, and in many ways, life looks remarkably similar—the lambs are just as wriggly, the backdrop just as beautiful, and we’re still here, doing what we love. But that’s the magic of Tredethick. Some things stay the same in the best possible way.

Here’s to another season of little boots stomping through the farm, tiny hands reaching for lamb cuddles, and big smiles all around. 💛

📅 Sunday morning lamb snuggles—hard to beat!

A well-loved sign along the green lane that boundaries our farm – a gateway to one of the most beautiful walks in the area. 🌿 From our farm trail, you can stroll to the picturesque hamlet of St Winnow on the stunning Fowey estuary.

This lovely walk is a favorite with our guests and features in our guidebook. Not long now until the snacks caravan at St Winnow reopens – roll on spring! 🌸

Some children adore the animals, but for others, it’s all about the tractors!🚜
Here's a sunrise shot of Tilly the Tractor, a favourite with our mini guests and handcrafted by our talented craftsman, John.

For those who love the real deal, we have a matching John Deere tractor on the farm to admire!

Stay tuned, we’ll be revealing John’s latest creation - our new mini jockey station - very soon.🐴🌟

Last year’s "Lessening the Juggle Struggle" post received Thoughtful, generous feedback from parents who loved having a ready-made holiday plan. So, we’re bringing it back - refined and enriched - for 2025!

We know planning a family holiday can feel like another full-time job (packing lists, schedules, snacks... so many snacks 🫣).

So we’ve done the homework for you. Introducing Tredethick’s Spring-Summer week-long itinerary - a good-to-go plan focused on exploration and play, with farm adventures, swims, woodland walks, beach days, and a few little luxuries for YOU!

📖 There's plenty more ideas in our digital guestbook and our Little Explorers Map, which we'll be popping on your welcome tray very soon!

* Because holidays should feel like a break, not a project. *

A family weekend in Cornwall by Instagram’s @mywildsparrows…

💕2023, what did we love about you? 💕 1) Watching our lambs race around the barn as they got stronger and skippier! 2) Rupert and Rollo, our Pygmy goat kids, who learnt to jump stiles and shimmy under gates. They are huge fun 3) Crystalline south coast water, beach breakfasts with family and friends 4) Dreamy sunset rides with pastoral views 5) Wildflowers and wisteria. Dreams for next year? So excited to plant a heritage orchard this spring 🍎🌳 Cornish apples, pears and plums as well as mulberries, walnuts and almonds. We’ll create a ‘wildflowers, winter food and walnuts’ trail so families can enjoy the wildflower meadow, winter bird food field and orchards with flowers, fruits and birdsong.
