Things
to Do
The
Eden Project - A real experience, imagine walking through a
tropical rainforest without leaving Cornwall. The Biomes contain
specimens of plants from all over the world, and the visitors centre
is full of information and is excellent fun.
The
Lost Gardens of Heligan - A old Victorian garden that has been
hidden from public eyes for 50 years is a wonder to explore.
Lanhydrock
House and Gardens - Once the proud seat of the Robartes family
from 1620 to 1969, this extensive house and 900 acres of gardens,
parklands and woods is now a real treasure owned by the National
Trust and open to the public.
Luxulyan
Valley - Only a stones throw away from the guesthouse, and full
of local history. There are over 17 circular walks taking in old
chapels, some of the Saint's Way path, and engineering architecture
including the Treffry Viaduct and leats.
Fowey
- This charming town hugs the River Fowey and is virtually unspoilt,
no amusement arcardes here, just ancient narrow streets and a heritage
dating back to roman times. A few hundred years ago the Spanish,
Portuguese and the French used to attempt to raid the town and were
driven off by cannon fire from the forts at the entrance to this
lovely harbour.
Charlestown
- Home to square rigged sailing ships today, as well as the Charlestown
Shipwreck Museum, a delight to explore.
