Penvose and Portholland
Penvose, until twenty five years ago, was a tenant farm on the
Caerhayes Castle Estate, once home of the ancient Trevanion
family. In 1860, the estate was sold to the Williams family,
who transformed the castle grounds and the hills behind into
a beautiful woodland garden that is world-famous among horticulturists.
The Williams' still live in the Castle and run the estate, which
is largely why, in contrast to much of Cornwall, Portholland
and the surrounding area remain much the same as they were 100
years ago. |
The Roseland Peninsula
The Roseland Peninsula on the South Cornwall coast, is cut off
from the rest of Cornwall by the River Fal which has to be crossed
at Tregony Bridge. The Peninsula is characterised by its unspoilt
villages and hamlets, streams and creeks. The soft and verdant
countryside boasts a wealth of wildlife. |
| There are sandy beaches, rock coves and beautiful
walks along the coast or inland, where from early spring to
late autumn cliffs and hedgerows abound with wild flowers. In
winter the coastline is majestic and awesome as it bears the
brunt of winter gales and crashing seas. |
| The Roseland is the ideal place for those
who want to get off the beaten track, away from it all and enjoy
the best that Cornwall has to offer. |
