We provide information about the many things to see & do in the area, here are just a few:-
Beaches & Coves:- Stroll down to Lamorna & the local pub ‘The Wink’ (lunchtime food only) then on to see Lamorna Cove opening out in front of you, stunning & dramatic in any weather, attracting many artists both past and present. Here you can have a snack or cream tea in the summer just yards from the sea.
Some of the most spectacular beaches in Cornwall are nearby, Whitesand Bay at Sennen, Porthcurno & the St Ives beaches, all fantastic for swimming, surfing or lounging & lovely at any season.
Penberth, Porthgwarra & many more rocky, clear watered coves exude the romance & mystery of their past.
Gardens:-Thanks to our unique climate many of the lovliest gardens of the UK lie in the far west. Large & famous such as The Lost Gardens of Heligan & The Eden Project. Smaller & closer such as sub-tropical Trewidden, Trengwainton, Trebah & St Michael’s Mount – the jewel in the crown of Mounts Bay.
Galleries:- ‘Creative, inspirational Cornwall’....... Large and small, just too many to mention!
The Minack Theatre set into the cliffs at Porthcurno – a production seen here under the stars on a summer evening will never be forgotten.
Outdoor activities:-
Nearby are 3 golf courses, sea & coarse fishing, boat trips, dolphin, whale watching & facilities for more extreme activities such as diving & rock climbing. Walk from the doorstep to the South West Coastal Path & miles of magnificent coastal scenery lie before you, a pattern of changing colours & moods whatever time of year.
