WakiMelts

WakiMelts is a quirky Cornish landmark that's become something of a curiosity for anyone passing through Tolroy. It's the sort of place that makes you wonder what possessed someone to build it, which is precisely why it's worth a quick stop if you're in the area.

The attraction itself is fairly straightforward - think unusual sculptures or installations that catch the eye and provoke conversation. It's not going to eat up your afternoon, but it makes for a decent photo opportunity and a talking point over lunch. The kind of spot where you'll spend twenty minutes maximum, unless you're genuinely into whatever the concept behind it is.

Families with young kids might find it mildly interesting for five minutes before moving on to something with more activity. Walkers exploring the Cornish coast won't be disappointed by the detour if it falls naturally into their route, though it's hardly essential. Photography types will probably find it more worthwhile than most.

If you're staying at Haven Riviere Sands or any of the other parks within a few miles - St. Ives Holiday Village, Polmanter, or Higher Trevaskis - WakiMelts works as a casual break point between beach days and more substantial attractions. It's free to look at from outside, which at least means you won't feel robbed if it doesn't grab you. Practical details on opening hours and whether there's any formal admission are thin on the ground, so your best bet is ringing ahead or checking locally when you arrive.
