Roseland Peninsular

Described as one of the most picturesque and unspoilt  parts of the British Isles.

The beaches are quiet , not having the amenities of large resorts, these include:

• Caerhays  -  A sandy cove with parking on the front.  Small cafe and toilet facilities.  Fishing from the rocks during the day or from the beach for bass at night.  Caerhays Castle nearby.

• Porthcurnick  -  A sandy beach owned by the National Trust.  Cafe and toilet facilities.  Parking in Portscatho with access via steps to the beach.

• Portholland  -  A small sandy cove popular with children hunting crabs and shrimps in the rock pools.  Parking and toilets nearby.

• Carne & Pendower  -  A lovely sandy beach.  Parking and toilets on the beach.

• Porthbeor  -  A sandy beach approached via a steep path.

• Towan  -  A long sandy beach with many rock pools at low tide.

These are just a few, there are many more, some of which are not on any map and have to be found

Places of Interest:

• St Mawes Castle  -  built in the reign of Henry VIII

• Caerhays Castle & Garden  -  open from the 16^th March to the 8^th May

• St Just-in-Roseland church  -  Arguably the most picturesque church in England.  Set on the edge of a creek with sub tropical trees and shrubs.

• St Anthony Lighthouse  -  Marks the entrance to Carrick Roads and warns shipping of the renowned Manacles rocks.  Often open to visitors during the Summer.

• Veryan Roundhouse  -  Thatched circular cottages.  It was said that their shape guarded the village against evil as there were no corners in which to hide.

• Portloe  -  a working fishing village with pretty cottages overlooking the harbour.  A pub, hotel, tea room and restaurant.

• Portscatho  -  A working fishing village, popular with visitors who return year after year.  Good beach and good walks.

• King Harry Ferry  -  an 100 year old car ferry linking Philleigh on the Roseland with Feock just on the outskirts of Falmouth.  Well worth exploring the area.

 Summary:  The Roseland is an exceptional area, unspoilt and a must for visitors to Cornwall who like to explore.
