Cornwall, and offers safe sandy beaches and
quaint whitewashed buildings, cobbled lanes and
good restaurants. Coarse fishing, shark fishing,
golf, riding and watersports can all be found

The new acclaimed
Eden Project
is only 15 minutes away, where the majestic
rainforests, the Mediterranean, South Africa and
California are recreated in huge covered
conservatories, or Biomes, to tell the
fascinating story of mankind's dependence on
plants.
The
nearby small villages of Lerryn and Lanreath
give a taste of country life, with welcoming
inns and friendly tea rooms for the traditional
Cornish Pasties and Cream Teas.
Exploring is easy! Walk the Cornish Coastal Path
