Location

Cornwall is not only beautiful scenery and quaint village pubs. There are a number of gardens and attractions such as Flambards our local theme park, the Seal Sanctuary, Goonhilly, Poldark Mine, Paradise Park, the open air Minack Theatre or even a day trip to visit the Eden Project.
A number of car boot sales and markets means that there is something for everybody. You can even take the ferry across the Helford for lunch by the river. We often do!
