Local area

The village of St Agnes is an attractive, traditional Cornish Village with a thriving community and steeped in mining history. There are plenty of shops selling local produce, arts and crafts and places to eat and drink. Bolster Farm is ideally situated to visit the many places of interest in this part of Cornwall.

The natural beauty of Cornwall

The Cornish coastline is no doubt one of the most beautiful and dramatic in the country - from its pretty harbours, to the stunning rugged cliffs and vast sandy beaches which are popular for surfing.

A visit to St Michael’s Mount, Tintagel or West Penwith will not disappoint those who wish to explore the unique qualities of the Cornish coastline. Trebah Gardens and the Eden Project are just two of the interesting horticultural attractions in Cornwall.

Cornish heritage and the arts

A popular destination for visitors is the Tate St Ives, with it’s modern architecture and Barbara Hepworth sculpture garden. Exhibitions at the Tate and the many other galleries in the area, offer a wide variety of inspiration.

The Minack Theatre is situated in the open air on the cliffs overlooking the sea at Porthcurno. Also in West Cornwall, Geevor Tin Mine illustrates the county’s industrial heritage in a spectacular coastal setting.

For families there are a number of theme parks and educational leisure attractions such as the Blue Reef Aquarium, Newquay Zoo and the national Maritime Museum, which is located on the Falmouth harbour-side. Newlyn’s Pilchard Works is another interesting heritage museum.
