Mevagissey, St
Austell, Cornwall.
|
| The
Situation |
|
|
Set on a 150 acre
working farm in the heart of the peaceful Cornish countryside. The owners are
happy to arrange escorted visits for visitors to see calving and
lambing in season. The cottages are ideally situated for
exploring the beautiful surrounding countryside and coastline,
which are steeped in history. Many artists and writers have been
inspired by the Cornish landscape. The picturesque harbour of
Mevagissey is close by, whilst many of the local places such as
Fowey, Par and Menabilly have been immortalised by the novelist
Daphne du Maurier. Pentewan (3 miles) has a superb sandy beach,
and bikes can be hired to cycle the Pentewan Trail. Heritage
sites include the Lost Gardens of Heligan (2 miles), the new
Eden Project (8 miles) and Lanhydrock House and its gardens (10
miles). Shop and pub 1½ miles.

How to find us:
From St Austell travel west on the A390 towards Truro. 1 Mile out of St Austell at the start of the Sticker by-pass, turn left on to the Sticker road (this is the old A390). Continue on the main road straight through the centre of Sticker village, up the hill the far side and take the first left, signposted to Lower Sticker and St Ewe. After 200 metres, at the cross roads, turn left again and then first right after 300 metres,
signposted to SOS Saddlery. Follow this lane for 1 mile, pass the Saddlery, through Paramoor Woods and up a short steep hill. You will find the entrance to Rescorla Farm Cottages straight ahead of you at the top of the hill.

Rescorla
Farm Cottages are ideally located
for some of Cornwalls best attractions. The
Lost Gardens of Heligan are just 2 miles away and world
renowned Eden Project
is just 15 minutes drive away!
The
beautiful fishing port of Mevagissey is just a short drive away from
where you can catch a ferry along the stunning coastline to Fowey.
Alternatively fishing trips are available, and for the more
adventurous there are shark angling trips!
The
beaches and coves along the south coast are ideal for sailing,
canoeing, water skiing and skin-diving and equally suitable for
families with children with miles of golden sand and very safe for
swimming. For surfers the North coast has superb beaches and is
only 25 minutes away. And for the conservationist and walker this
area of Cornwall is a perfect base.
The
famous old port of Charlestown is home to a fleet of square rigged
schooners (on which you can go for a sail), and the award winning
Ship Wreck and Heritage Centre. Here you can also purchase
delicious smoked salmon, prawns, oysters, and a host of unusual sea fare
from the superb smoked fish factory in the centre of the
town.
