Walking in Cornwall
We are lucky enough to be situated on the Coastal Footpath, with walks long or short from your front door-step. Cornwall is blessed with extremely varied terrain; from rugged and remote cliff tops to sheltered estuaries and busy harbours. Moorlands, plateaux incised by steep coastal valleys, intimate coves and long pebble or sand beaches.
Lost Gardens of Heligan near St Austell
The seat of the Tremayne family for more than 400 years is claimed to be one of the most mysterious estates in England. A motto etched into the limestone walls in barely legible pencil still reads “Don’t come here to sleep or slumber” with the names of those who worked there signed under the date – August 1914. Fired by a magnificent obsession to bring these once glorious gardens back to life in every sense and to tell, for the first time, not tales of lords and ladies but of those “ordinary” people who had made these gardens great, before departing for the Great War.
Breakers Surf School
Fun for all the family, book a lesson or two with Tom, an experienced instructor. Wetsuits and boards provided.
