The farm lies beside the lower Fowey Valley, part of an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, making it a wonderful base for exploring Cornwall — or simply staying put and enjoying farm life.

Nearby highlights include:

★ Lostwithiel, just a mile away, with lovely shops, pubs & restaurants. It's a real experience to do the adventure walk (25 mins from the farm into the village along our fields, then country lanes with beautiful views). Experience the vibrant hidden gem of a Cornish community with brunch at one of the local cafes and visit the independent shops with local treasures. Remember to grab an ice cream from the ice cream shop next to the river, which has the most incredible Cornish flavours!

★ Iconic Cornish attractions, all within beautiful drives, including The Eden Project, beautiful beaches and coastal walks (15-min drive) and The Lost Gardens of Heligan (30 mins)

Some more of our favourite local adventures:

★ Bodmin Moor — wild ponies, stone circles and wide-open skies

★ Readymoney Beach — a sheltered golden cove near Fowey

★ Polkerris Beach — a very child-friendly beach with great facilities including Sam’s on the Beach, a funky family restaurant

★ The South West Coastal Path — dramatic cliffs, hidden coves and endless sea views

★ Gold Diggings Quarry — a magical hidden granite quarry, with a natural blue swimming pool

★ Fowey — a charming harbour town where river meets sea

★ The Camel Trail — a scenic cycle route from Bodmin to Wadebridge, great for children

★ Surfing — further afield, a 45-min drive away, is the north coast which is great for surfing

It's impossible to fit everything in – you’ll just have to come back!
