The Peninsula

This is one of the prettiest areas of Cornwall, much of the coast is protected by the National Trust and still unspoilt. The peninsula is bound by the sea on one side and on the other by the Fal estuary. There are lovely coastal walks and many safe sandy beaches.

Things to do

You can enjoy watching the sailing from the picturesque village of St Mawes then take a stroll along the front and visit Henry VIII’s castle or take the ferry to Falmouth and visit the National Maritime Museum.

The Gardens

The Eden Project and Lost Garden’s of Heligan are within a half hour drive and a trip on the King Harry ferry takes you to Trelissick Gardens (NT) and on the city of Truro.

Other Attractions

It is also an excellent centre for exploring Cornwall. We are less than an hour’s drive from Padstow, St Ives, St Michael’s Mount (NT), and Lanhydrock House (NT).
