Tintagel Toy Museum

You'll find this quirky little museum tucked away near Bodmin, and honestly, it's the sort of place that works best if you've got a genuine soft spot for vintage toys. The collection spans decades - tin soldiers, dolls, board games, action figures - the kind of stuff that triggers proper childhood nostalgia if you're old enough to remember playing with any of it.

The museum itself is small and manageable; you're not looking at a full day here, more like an hour to ninety minutes if you're thorough. Parents with young kids might find it less engaging than a bigger interactive museum, though some children do love the novelty of seeing how toys looked before screens took over. It's the sort of visit that appeals more to adults with a collecting bug or anyone researching toy history.

Bodmin sits close enough that you could easily slot this in alongside other things in the area - it works as a rainy afternoon stop rather than a headline attraction. If you're staying at Rosebud Farm just down the road, it's certainly worth a look, especially if museum visits are your thing. Admission details are a bit thin on the ground, so ring ahead before you drive out there.
