Those of you who are wildlife fans will be pleased to find that there are splendid gardens within driving distance of the site. The Lost Gardens Heligan (10 minutes' drive) has features from the 19th century and 200 acres of plant life, as well as a farm shop. Underline the Eden Project (half an hour) on your Cornwall map too. Rainforest and Mediterranean biomes in a china clay pit is the summary but when you look at the fine print, there are also zipwires and giant swings for adventurous folk. As for more very pretty coastal scenes, The Roseland Heritage Coast (25 minutes) is sprinkled with settings like waterfalls, creeks and cliffs. If you’re looking for additional places to set yourself down on the sand, Hemmick Beach (10 minutes) and Porthpean (20 minutes) are some other splendid spots – the latter is especially nifty for watersports like windsurfing or paddleboarding.
