WISHING YOU A SAFE JOURNEY

The beautiful rural and sea view from Thornfield

Carne & Pendower beaches, a lovely sheltered cove just a short drive away

Local attractions:

Just a mile away are the ancient villages of Gerrans and Portscatho. Archaeological discoveries prove that there have been settlements here since the Bronze Age, nearly 4000 years ago. The church at St. Gerrans is built on what is believed to have been a Celtic foundation dating back to the 6th century. Apart from its historical interest the church deserves a visit for its view. That of Nare Head and the Dodman Point, seen through the churchyard, must rate as one of the best seascapes in Cornwall.

Two good local pubs serving excellent meals

Excellent walks Locally as there are throughout the Roseland Peninsula

St Mawes - just 4 miles. Situated on the river Fal is a favourite with the sailing community. Very popular all year round. Boat trips including a foot passenger ferry to Falmouth.
Local villages well worth a visit include:
Percuil - the sailing centre for Gerrans and Portscatho
Portloe - a picture postcard little fishing village
Veryan - famous for its round-houses
Philleigh - extremely old buildings and a good pub
St Just-in-Roseland - a beautiful area stretching down to the river
St Anthony Head and Lighthouse - excellent walks and stunning views.

Local Beaches
Carne & Pendower - the two are linked together and provide safe bathing and excellent sand quality. Parking/toilets on the beach.

Touring
'Trewithian' is well placed on the Roseland Peninsula and an ideal Touring base.
Cornwall's latest major attraction, The Eden Project is about a 40 min. drive.
The famous Lost Gardens of Heligan about a 25 min drive.
Several other gardens and country house closeby
Not only do guests have the Roseland to explore, the whole of the Falmouth area is within easy reach via the King Harry ferry. The Ferry is an experience in itself, operating a crossing over the Fal since 1888.

Your hosts are local to the area and will be only too happy to recommend places of interest or places to eat.
