Tregonning Burrows Glamping

Start your Cornish adventure by scaling Tregonning Hill direct from your pod; the rewards will be views to both coastlines – with St Ives Bay and Penzance visible on clear days. To learn more about Cornwall’s mining heritage, stop off at Great Work Mine (15 minutes’ walk), or visit the National Trust-owned Godolphin Estate (10 minutes’ drive) to tour the ghost house abandoned when mining ceased in the 19th century and wander around the medieval gardens. Visit the medieval castle atop St Michael’s Mount (15 minutes), accessible across the bay from lively Marazion (10 minutes), a pretty seaside town packed with art galleries and craft shops. On the north coast, arty types can see the best of contemporary painting at Tate St Ives or have a wander around alfresco installations at the Barbara Hepworth Museum and Sculpture Garden (both half an hour). If the beach is calling, Praa Sands (five minutes) is found in a sweeping bay backed by dunes, while the popular fishing village of Porthleven (10 minutes) has sands popular with experienced surfers – as well as several acclaimed pubs and restaurants for when it’s time to put your feet up with a pint of Cornish cider.
