Cornwall has so many different things to offer its visitors, from clean and inviting beaches to more energetic beaches for surfing, semi-tropical gardens, quaint fishing villages and lovely pubs and towns.

We couldn't hope to show them all here but we will try to give you a flavour. For more information try the CATA website or telephone the Cornish Tourist Board on 01726 844857.

The EDEN Project : Probably one of the biggest and newest attractions in the country. Nestling within a 50 metre deep crater overlooking St Austell Bay are two geodesic conservatories - one is a majestic rainforest cathedral - the Humid Tropics Biome; the other, is the Warm Temperate Biome, host to the plants, fruits and flowers of the Mediterranean, South Africa and California. They form a majestic backdrop to the outdoor landscape. For more information click here. (Approx 10 miles from Polsue)

The Eden Project and Lost of Gardens of Heligan

The Lost Gardens of Heligan : Explore the recently re-discovered gardens of this country house. Lost following the First World War, an ambitious project was undertaken to bring these extensive gardens back to life, from the walled gardens to 'the jungle'. (Approx 3 miles from Polsue)

Trewithen Gardens - Excellent country house gardens. (Approx 10 miles)

Caerhayes Castle Gardens - Idyllic setting, the castle was used as Mandalay in the TV version of Daphne de Mauriers 'Rebecca'. (Approx 5 miles from Polsue)

Beaches: The county of Cornwall possesses the longest coastline of any county in the UK. The natural result is that there are a huge number of beaches to suit all tastes, some easily accessible for families, others a little more demanding for those who want more exclusivity.

The Restaurant

Surfing : The serious surfing beaches are located on the north coast and centre around Newquay. However when the conditions are right, many of the south coast beaches may offer surf more suitable for the less experienced.

Family beaches : Throughout the county are beaches that can be accessed directly from a car park. We will be happy to make recommendations for our guests.

Caerhayes and Gorran Haven beaches

Beaches for walkers : Likewise, if you prefer to visit beaches that need a little exploring to find then we can also give you some pointers!
Please be aware that the sea off Cornwall can hide some serious under-currents and must be treated with respect.

Cities, towns and villages :City : Truro, the only city in Cornwall offers its cathedral and excellent shopping.

Towns : From one of the largest natural harbours in Europe, Falmouth possesses its own Pendennis castle, beaches and shopping.

Villages : Numerous fishing villages such as Mevagissey, Portloe, Fowey, Polperro are only a short distance from Polsue. The village of St Mawes can also show you its castle, across the bay from Pendennis or you might like to visit the beautiful church at St Just-in-Roseland.
What ever your taste, we will be pleased to help you with suggestions.
