PUP SEASON AT THE CORNISH SEAL SANCTUARY

February 2017

One of the great things to do half term in Cornwall 2017 is visit one of Cornwall's leading attractions, the Cornish Seal Sanctuary. Seal mating season begins around September time, this also coincides with rougher seas and storms approaching. What this means is that during this time we get a lot of seal pup call outs. The BDMLR, the RSPCA and the Cornish Seal Sanctuary rescue between 40 and 60 pups each year. As the leading Seal Rescue Centre in Europe and the only one in Cornwall we then become home to these pups while they are rehabilitated until they are ready for release. The team here provides round-the-clock care throughout the 'pup rescue season' (usually September - March) to get them back to full health so they can go back out into the wild where they should be. Our hospital and pools will be full and it's the perfect time to for a visit. The Seal Sanctuary is dog friendly attraction in Cornwall.

ENGINE HOUSE TOURS AT HEARTLANDS

Daily throughout the year

Great idea for a family day out in Cornwall. The pumping engine at Robinson's Shaft is a gloriously well preserved example of a Cornish engine. It worked at this site between 1903 and 1955. The engine was designed by Captain Samuel Grose, a pupil of Richard Trevithick, and was built by Sandys Vivian and Co. at the Copperhouse Foundry, one of the two major engineering works at Hayle. Robinson's Engine stopped working at 1.15pm on 1 May 1955, the last Cornish Engine to work on a Cornish Mine. Robinson's Engine is currently undergoing more restoration work (it's a bit like painting the Forth Bridge), but you can still go on guided tours to see this magnificent engine. Engine House tours are once a day at 12 noon. Please book your space on the tour at the Visitor Centre on arrival at Heartlands. Please note there are only 12 spaces per tour and a small fee applies. Heartlands is a top Cornwall visitor attraction, steeped in history. Read more about Heartlands
