Went there without the kids who probably won't have enjoyed it but my wife and I had a lovely walk around enjoying the history, the gardens and the craft workshops. Weather wasn't great but still an nice place to visit, and good food at the local pub.

It is a long slog up the hill to get there .Despite a summer Saturday much of it was closed. Very modern for a craft centre set up

Great walk. Well planned, with converted stables into craft studios. Shame they weren't all open when we visited. Lots of dog walkers - careful where you walk.

Difficult to get to, narrow single traffic lanes and you never were sure where exactly you were. The playground which is advertised as specially designed for children with disabilities is funnily enough difficult to access and seemed drab and limited apart from the singing stone. No shade and on a hot sunny day this is not good. We moved on... More

Have been to Cockington many times and never tire of the beautiful thatched cottages, the craft shops and the cafe's. Plenty of room for children to run around, play ball and throw frisby's, and all for free.

Beautiful gardens, brilliant local crafts, peaceful location, lovely church with pulpit rumoured to be crow's nest from Spanish Armada ship, horse and carriage rides, tea room and gallery. Very expensive car park in the village (even for handicapped users) DO NOT USE THIS if you are going to the craft centre. Instead drive up the hill past the pub and... More

This is a fantastic area to be, it has unique craft shops with the crafts made as you watch, glass blowing, leather craft and chocolates just to name a few. The gardens are fantastic to walk through on a summer day. If you are expecting the Court to be a historic home open to the public you will be disappointed... More
