Our location in the middle of the County means we are within easy reach of all that Cornwall has to offer. The stunning Eden Project, the famous Lost Gardens of Heligan and the Trewithen Estate are all within 7 miles. The historic port of Charlestown, home of several old square-sail ships, and the celebrated fishing villages of Mevagissey and Fowey are close by. The City of Truro, with its beautiful Cathedral and granite paved streets is only 15 minutes drive. Both the North coast, with its rugged coastline and wide sweeping sandy beaches; and the smaller coves and harbours of the Roseland Peninsula to the south are just 12 miles away. The nearest beach, at Pentewan, is 4 miles distant. Bodmin Moor, Dartmoor, Lands End and The Lizard can all be reached in just over 1 hour. Blaise Cottage itself locates approximately 5 minutes drive from St. Austell, and 10 minutes from the main A30 at Fraddon. The quaint villages of Sticker and Polgooth, one and a half and 3 miles distant, contain two of the best village inns in the area and local stores. |
|
| The myriad of pretty country lanes surrounding the farmstead of Hendra makes Blaise Cottage the ideal place for those who enjoy walking, jogging or cycling. For wildlife enthusiasts, badgers, foxes and hares are often visible, together with many species of birds including falcons, buzzards, tawny and barn owls which can be seen frequently at dusk hunting in our fields. Cows and horses, of course, come as standard in the surrounding fields here! | ||
