About this business

Lappa Valley is a magical family-friendly retreat nestled in a former mining area near Newquay, Cornwall, offering a charming mix of three quarter-size steam railways weaving through stunning wildlife-rich surroundings. It’s the perfect place to lose yourself in nostalgia with delightful train rides that transport you from the car park station deep into this secret world full of adventures. Beyond the rails, there’s a fun boat lake with pedalos, an all-weather adventure golf course sprinkled with quirky railway-themed obstacles, and spacious outdoor play areas where kids can run wild and let off steam all day. The Engine Shed houses a fantastic multi-level indoor soft play centre and a cosy café, perfect for refuelling while the little ones explore.

Ideal for all ages, Lappa Valley blends nature and entertainment effortlessly, making it a brilliant day out for families craving both excitement and relaxation. Whether you fancy a gentle stroll through the lush valley, snapping a cheeky selfie in a real 7¼” gauge locomotive, or just escaping into pure childlike joy, this place has you covered. With everything included in one ticket, it’s a hoppity, toot-toot kind of place where kids’ laughter is the soundtrack and grown-ups get to unwind in a peaceful yet lively Cornish valley.
