The cottage layout is reversed, with the bedrooms downstairs and the open plan lounge, kitchen, dining area upstairs, taking advantage of the spectacular views. The veranda offers you the chance to eat alfresco whilst watching the abundance of farm and wildlife.
We are just 10 minutes from the Eden Project, 10 minutes from Lanhydrock House, the most visited National Trust property in the South West and 30 minutes from the Lost Gardens of Heligan. In an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Fabulous for wildlife and bird watching. Situated alongside the Saint's Way Walking Route and Cycle Network. We can organise active sports such as kayaking, kite surfing, paintballing, quad bike riding, go karting, bmx bike riding and horse riding. If you are looking or a "car free" break, there are plenty of fabulous walks and cycles routes in the area. Or if you fancy trying horse riding there are two stables close by. There is a fabulous walk to Helman Tor from the cottage, through Breney Common owned by English Heritage, where an abundance of wildlife and wildflowers can be seen in their natural habitat. A gold mine for bird watchers. If you fancy a longer walk or a cycle through Luxulyan Valley, you can take the Network 3 cycle route, or saints way walk, over to the famous Eden Project, which is less than five miles away. The picturesque Luxulyan Valley is a closely guarded secret where there is a diversity of wildlife, including greater horseshoe bats and a healthy otter population. There is also a magnificent viaduct, owned by the Cornwall Heritage Trust, which has ten granite arches, crossing the river at a height of 30.6 meters. Tor View is situated on the Saints Way, the old pilgrimage route from Padstow to Fowey and the Coast and Clay Trail section of the Cornish Way, part of the National Cycle Network. The Network is a visionary project to create 9,000 miles of routes for cyclists and walkers in Great Britain and Northern Ireland by 2005. We are also near the Camel Trail, created from a former steam railway line, which offers 16 miles of all-weather off road cycling. The Trail is also ideal for wheelchair users and pushchairs. Whether you are an avid bird watcher, or just interested in wildlife, the Camel trail offers a wealth and diversity of bird life. Whilst taking in breathtaking views of the Camel Estuary and Padstow, you can see flocks of Curlew and Oystercatchers throughout the year, and Golden Plover and Lapwing in the winter months. The centre section of the trail homes Dipper, Kingfisher and Grey Wagtail to name just a few. If you plan to have a more restful week, the Eden Project is just a 10 minute drive away. Eden is a multi million pound millennium project which is a dramatic global garden, the size of 30 football pitches, created in a disused china clay pit. The scale, and unique setting have resulted in the Eden Project becoming an international visitor attraction. If you want to learn more about the production of china clay from 1800 to the present day, you can visit Wheal Martyn near St. Austell, a museum set on a 26 acre site of two former 19th century china clay works. The widest range of dragonfly species in the country can he found just two miles away on Goss Moor National Nature Reserve, the largest wetland and heathland complex in the southwest. Nearby we also have an abundance of wildlife and the famous Dartmoor ponies, on Bodmin Moor. This is Europe's least eroded moor and home to the second highest place in Cornwall, Rough Tor, owned by the National Trust. If you like water sports, travelling to either the South or North Coast line, for swimming, surfing, Kite surfing or jet skiing is easy. Tor View is centrally situated, and being near the River Fowey, fishing or leisure boat and canoe trips can normally be organised. Whether you enjoy gardens, woodlands, historic houses, castles, museums or heritage centres, there are too many in the area to list. There are open air and indoor theatres, golf clubs, riding stables and leisure centres. |
