Croft Farm Holiday Park is approximately 1 mile from the pretty village of Luxulyan where the large granite outcrops are evidence of the furthest Glacial activity in Cornwall at the end of the last Ice Age. In the more recent past the extensive woodland of the Luxulyan Valley was important during the Copper smelting history of the area. Walkers and cyclists will enjoy the trails through the pretty woodland surrounding the intriguing water leats and the impressive granite Treffry Aquaduct once used in the smelting process.

Cornwall's South coast was popular with the wealthy Cornish families who built their estates and Historic Houses taking advantage of the mild climate and lovely views. The lost Gardens of Heligan lay dormant for over 100 years until recent renovation enabled visitors to view their sleeping beauty. Trerice, Pencarrow and Lanhydrock Houses are all within easy travelling distance. The pretty fishing village of Mevagissey and the quaint yachting haven of Fowey are 6 and 8 miles respectively.

The Eden Project
The Eden Project is one of the UK's biggest Millennium projects. The site is a clay pit the size of 30 football pitches at Bodelva, about 1½ miles from Croft. The 60 metre deep crater contains thousands of important and beautiful plants from our own climate, the humid tropics and the warm temperate regions of the world. The tropical plants are housed in giant greenhouses called biomes. Each biome is big enough to fit the equivalent of 30 cathedrals. A Visitor Centre provides a gateway to the biomes. The landscaped grounds arranged around a central lake and the remainder of this amazing tourist attraction costing an estimated £84 million, opened in Spring 2001.

Here at Croft, you will be on the doorstep of Eden - close enough to walk and beat the queues!
