Local Area
Popular surfing area with quite tranquil coastal
walks within the National Trust (Land's End 1 mile). The
heritage coastline makes this an unbeatable venue for many
activities including walking, sea sports, golf and bird
watching; or just relaxing if you prefer.
There are many glorious sandy beaches and
rocky coves with crystal clear water; rugged cliffs; heather
moorlands; wooded valleys and green fields. Within a 10
mile radius are many picturesque coves and fishing villages
such as Cape Cornwall, Porthcurno, Lamorna, Newlyn and Mousehole.
Penzance town is nearby where you can board
boat or helicopter to the beautiful Isles of Scilly or travel
there from nearby Land's End airfield on the local Skybus
aircraft. Just outside Penzance is the stunning St. Michael's
Mount. Clearly visible from the main A30 road as you enter
the Penzance area, the Mount can be reached by boat when
the tide is in, or, if the tide is out, by walking across
the causeway from the village of Marazion.
Of the many local attractions, those nearest
include; Land's End, Minack Theatre, St. Michael's Mount,
St. Ives Tate Gallery and Paradise Park bird sanctuary.
The area is also noted for its wealth of ancient monuments
including stone circles, chamber tombs and standing stones.
