Despite the rural vibe on site, you’re actually only a couple of minutes’ drive from the A30, giving you easy access to major attractions across Cornwall. It will take you around half an hour to drive to St Michael’s Mount, 45 minutes to get to the Eden Project and an hour to reach Porthcurno and the fab Minack Theatre, on the cliffs overlooking the sea. The famed beaches of Cornwall’s coastline are close by as well; it’s just a 10-minute drive to the surfer’s fave Trevaunance Cove and 15 minutes to the golden sands of Perranporth beach. The beaches of Porthtowan and Chapel Porth are also a short drive away, as is the north Cornwall section of the South West Coast Path. If you’d like to get in or on the water, make the half-hour journey to Newquay’s watersports centre, for a range of activities including kayaking, paddleboarding and coasteering. You can also take surf lessons up here to let you in on the secrets of standing up on that board. Closer to home, there are loads of footpaths, bridleways and cycle trails passing by the site. Walk a mile to Chacewater or Blackwater and you can join the Mineral Tramways coast-to-coast path, which follows old tram and railway lines that once serviced the area’s mines. If you’ve not brought a bike you can hire one from Bissoe, 10 minutes away. It’s also a 10-minute drive to a riding centre where you can join groups catering for all levels from beginners through to experienced riders.
