The beautiful Roseland Peninsula is just 30 minutes away and is one of the most picturesque and unspoilt parts of Cornwall. The National Trust property Lanhydock is a magnificent late Victorian country house with extensive servants quarters, gardens and a wooded estate and is just 15 minutes away. Recently redeveloped Bodmin Jail is also worth a visit and if you’re after some shopping Truro, the county town of Cornwall, is just 30 mins by car.
Golf
Carlyon Bay Golf Club is the nearest course to us and is a 6,500 yard championship course. It boats cliff top views, rolling fairways and manicured greens. Other courses worthy of a mention are Newquay Golf Club overlooking Fistral beach, Trevose in Padstow and Hayle, all have spectacular views over the Atlantic ocean.
Cycling
Cycling is another popular pastime for visitors to Cornwall. You may be put off by the hills, however there are flat routes too including the Camel Trail and the Pentewan Cycle Route. Along the latter you’ll enjoy wild flowers, wooded countryside and fine views. The route follows a flat route along a former river valley from St Austell to the beach and harbour at Pentewan. From here, you can continue on to the unspoilt fishing village of Mevagissey.
Walking
Cornwall is famed for its miles of coast path which circumnavigates the peninsula. This trail is undoubtedly the best walking route in the UK and along its path you’ll pass through secret coves, hidden villages, wide sweeping bays and cliff tops with views. To access the SouthWest Coastpath from Boscundle simply make your way to Carlyon Bay, which is 5 minutes by car, or 20 minutes on foot.
