Kelliwik Valley Glamping

So, you’ve already conquered the 25 kilometres of mountain biking trails at Tamar Trails Centre (15 minutes’ drive) or taken a pretty paddle from the quay, but what about a trip back in time? Buckland Abbey (half an hour) is one place for such things. The 700-year-old house is open to the public, as is the National Trust’s Cotehele (15 minutes), a grand estate and house from the Tudor times. Hurlers Stone Circles (25 minutes) go further back, as these ceremonial circles are possibly Neolithic or from the Bronze Age. While you’re over this way, those of you who count waterfalls as a worthy detour will find a little series of cascades at Golitha Falls (25 minutes) for a proper waterside walk. But what about the city and the coast? Well, with Plymouth (half an hour) within striking distance, you’ll have the choice of the aquarium, a drink or two in the Royal William Yard and across the water, Mount Edgcumbe House and Country Park (45 minutes) for a historic outing over the sea, including Segway rides around the estate or paddleboarding at one of its remote coves.
