Your Hosts |
A delicious breakfast will be served on the long
dining room table (Abigail is a Leith’s trained chef) between 8.30 and
9.30am. You will be offered a full English cooked breakfast with fruits,
yoghurt and croissants. Vegetarians will be happily catered for if
Abigail is advised on booking.
Lynwood House is not licensed, however the local pub and off licence are

there are some excellent pubs locally, one in walking distance and
others only a few minutes drive away.
You are most welcome to enjoy the garden during the day (which is also a
work in progress) and sit on the sunny terrace for tea or coffee.
Please arrive after 4pm and vacate your room before 10.30am on the day
of departure.
If you know you are not going to manage these times please do let
Abigail know and she will try to make arrangements to suit you.
The usual No Smoking regulations apply. However you are very welcome to
smoke in the garden, indeed you will doubtless meet Jeremy there doing
the same.

Lynwood House and the Surrounding Area
Lynwood House is situated near the Fal river at the very edge of
Tregony village. Historically, Tregony is known as the 'gateway
to the Roseland'. The exceptionally wide main street of the
village is a relic from the days when Tregony was a busy port.
Nowadays the river has silted up, but the village is still
attractive and the unusual wooden gallery on the 17th century
almshouses can’t fail to catch your eye as you drive through.
After the river at Tregony was blocked by silt from the china
clay and tin streaming works near St Austell, small quays were
built at nearby Ruan Lanihorne and silt dredged from the river
was used to make bricks in the factory here. The Fal river is a
popular place for bird watchers and there are some lovely
riverside and woodland walks in the area.
The road divides at the bottom of the hill by Lynwood House,
bearing right towards the main Truro road and the wider world,
or left into the heart of the Roseland Peninsula. Well known for
its countryside and quiet beaches, the peninsula has impressive
coastal and river scenery and picturesque villages. Ultimately
this road reaches the sea and St Mawes, a one time fishing
village which is now a picturesque little harbour full of
sailing boats. There are boat trips to various destinations and
a passenger ferry that crosses regularly to Falmouth on the
other side of the Fal estuary.
The famous St Mawes castle now owned by the English Heritage was built as
a costal fortress for Henry VIII and is worth a visit. Keen
walkers will relish the miles and miles coastal path weaving
through acres of National Trust land . (Castle photo courtesy of
Charles Winpenny)
 The
banner of Saint Piran is a vertical white cross on a black
background. Saint Piran is supposed to have adopted these two
colours from seeing the molten tin spilling out of the black ore
in his fire. This occurred during his supposed discovery of tin
in the sixth century thus becoming the patron saint of tin
miners.
Basically you will discover lots to do and see on the Roseland
and the weather will doubtless be better than expected due to
the microclimate that exists on the peninsula.
PS Be sure to visit the adorable waterside church of St Just in
Roseland, a mile before St. Mawes it dates from AD 550. Abigail
and Jeremy were married there. |
