ST. MAWES |
|
|
|
|
| |
|
St.
Mawes is a picturesque waterside fishing village on the unspoilt Roseland
Peninsula offering safe sandy beaches, boating, fishing, walks, and fine
sailing waters. Small shops, pubs and restaurants nestle around the harbour.
Many of our out-of-season visitors to St. Mawes are writers or artists,
who come here to work in beautiful and sub-tropical surroundings. A magnificent
King Henry VIII Castle is on the headland at St. Mawes. It stands in sub-tropical
gardens displaying its 16th Century Tudor architecture and atmosphere. A
year round passenger ferry service runs to Falmouth, and many boat and fishing
trips are on offer. A variety of beaches and walks of the Peninsula are
within easy reach. The King Harry Car Ferry is a convenient way to visit
Truro. |

ROSELAND PENINSULA |
|
|
|
|
| |
|
The
Roseland Peninsula is beautifully unspoilt, with wonderful beaches, glorious
coastline, charming villages, coastal walks, hidden pubs and stunning scenery.
Gerrans Bay is home to beautiful beaches (our cottage at Rosevine, is close
to one), with golden sands, clear water and interesting rock pools. The
Eden Project is easily reached by car.
The Roseland Peninsula is a wonderful
area if you like easy coastal walks and stunning views.

ST JUST IN ROSELAND |
|
|
|
|
| |
|
St.
Just in Roseland is 2 ˝ miles from St. Mawes and is one of the jewels of
Cornwall. Of the little church situated amongst camellias and hydrangeas
right by the water, Betjeman wrote, “to many people the most beautiful churchyard
on earth”. This is a very peaceful area, within easy reach of the whole
of the Roseland Peninsula and its wealth of safe sandy beaches and walks.
Within easy reach are St. Mawes, Veryan, Portscatho, Philleigh, and the
beaches of Carne, Pendower, Porthcurnick, and many more. The King Harry
Ferry across the river to Feock and Truro is 3 miles. |

GORRAN HAVEN |
|
|
|
|
| |
|
A
little further up the coast is Gorran Haven. Set around the village beach,
Gorran Haven is one of Cornwall's unspoilt fishing villages which retains
its real character - very picturesque. The little road winds into the village
and straight down to the beach, passing clusters of white painted cottages
and little cobbled footpaths.
In Gorran Haven there is a restaurant, and a general store/post office,
which sells just about everything including freshly baked bread and pasties.
There is a good pub on the edge of the village. Other little shops appear
in the summer.
Gorran Haven has lovely scenery and coastal walks. It is near Mevagissy
and not far from The Eden Project and The Lost Gardens of Heligan. |

TRURO |
|
|
|
|
| |
|
The
name Truro comes from Tri-Veru meaning 3 rivers. The Cornish
are rightly proud of their beautiful historic Cathedral City capital. It
is a thriving small City with an excellent assortment of shops and amenities.
The waterways of Truro come into view all over the City, especially whilst
exploring the alleyways (known as opes). Train station with a local branch
line to Falmouth running through Perranwell. Beautiful surrounding area
with rivers, creeks and Cornish villages. Truro is about 50
miles from Lands End. There are scheduled helicopter flights to The
Isles of Scilly from Penzance. |

PERRANWELL |
|
|
|
|
| |
|
Perranwell
is tucked away in lanes about half way between Truro and Falmouth. A ‘Proper
Cornish Village’, with Post Office/stores and an excellent pub. Streams
run through the village, and two of our houses have them running by the
gardens. Two sailing schools are in the area and there are several good
golf courses. The wonderful long sandy surf beaches of the north coast are
about 20 minutes away, and the softer south coast beaches and sailing areas
are roughly 15 minutes. The coast to coast cycle path goes through Perranwell,
so bring your bikes if you like cycling. Perranwell is a very good base
for exploring the delights of the rest of West Cornwall. A branch line train,
which runs between Truro and Falmouth, stops at Perranwell, so if you decide
to leave your car at home, you can still explore Cornwall. |

FEOCK
|
|
|
|
|
| |
|
Feock
is a beautiful village set around the creeks of the Fal Estuary, 5 miles
south of Truro and 7 miles north of Falmouth. The Sailing and Watersports
School located at Loe Beach is excellent for children. The National Trust
gardens of Trelissick and the King Harry Ferry are at Feock, and the area
is a wonderful setting for artists, walkers and birdwatchers.
Restronguet Creek is the largest
of the creeks, and a haven for sheltered boating and birdlife. The famous
Pandora Inn is to be found on the Mylor side of this Creek. The Punchbowl
and Ladle provides good meals, and is open all year round.

FALMOUTH |

Falmouth
and Carrick Roads form one of the finest natural havens in the world, with
sheltered sailing waters, wonderful beaches and walks. The visitor to Falmouth
can explore the network of bays and rivers by boat from the Quay. There
is a thriving yachting and boating community and several yacht marinas.
The town centre with its charming long narrow main street has some fine
listed buildings, restaurants and shops. There is a selection of safe beaches
to the south on Falmouth Bay, and many more nearby. The surrounding coastline
and countryside is magnificent.
From Falmouth you can explore the
villages, beaches and walks of Western Cornwall easily in a day's round
trip.

MYLOR

|
|
| |
|
Mylor
is a few minutes by road from Flushing (or a lovely walk along the coastal
path). Mylor Churchtown has a beautiful waterfront area with cafes, wine
bar and restaurants. The yacht harbour offers sailing tuition and boat hire.
Mylor Village is at the head of Mylor Creek, with local shops and a good
pub. You can set off on costal walks from here - many pass a waterside cafe
or pub, including the famous Pandora Inn on Restronguet Creek. 3 miles from
Falmouth and 6 miles from Truro. |

FLUSHING |
|
|
|
|
| |
|
Flushing
is a stunningly picturesque waterside village on the opposite shores to
Falmouth. It is calm and tranquil with a fine restaurant, two pubs and a
Post Office/village stores. A regular ferry runs to and from Falmouth, from
where you can join the network of expeditions by boat all around the Falmouth
Bay and estuary. Flushing is popular with boating enthusiasts, and is also
a haven for those wishing to find a small peaceful village, where it is
possible to imagine the Cornwall of yesteryear. Flushing is popular with
walkers, artists, writers and nature-lovers. The evening sun on the water
at Flushing, highlighting the colourful boats on the water, is quite magnificent.
There is a really good grassy playground
on the hill at Flushing called "The Bowling Green". It
is only a short walk from Quay Cottage. The views from up there
are very good, and there are places to picnic.

2006 we were introduced to the owners of a beautiful new apartment in a
prestigious position on Pentire Headland - (Fistral Beach on one side and
Crantock on the other!) Our visitors who stayed there absolutely loved it,

The area is renowned for its golden beaches, surfing, stunning walks and
many miles of National Trust coastline. Close to Newquay and all the various
holiday attractions this area has to offer. 15 minutes from the Airport. |

Devoran
lies near the head of Restronguet Creek and about half way between Perranwell
and Feock. It is very pretty, with a welcoming pub and interesting waterside
walks. Great location for bird watching. Good for cycling and very well
placed for exploring Cornwall. Falmouth 5 miles and Truro 5 miles.
Devoran is not only a perfect place
for a relaxing holiday, but is well placed to visit the Cornish gardens
