Come to Good Farm

When you’ve had your fill of investigating all the plants and wildlife that call Cornwall their home, you might find that there are plants that you haven’t yet encountered in the Eden Project (40 minutes’ drive). With Mediterranean and rainforest biomes, as well zipwires for the thrill-seeking sort to survey the domes from above, this is a top spot for wildlife and adventure sport fans. There’s more pretty cool plant life around The Lost Gardens Heligan (35 minutes) and the National Trust’s Trelissick Garden (35 minutes), of course. When you’re ready to tackle footpaths past woods, beaches and castles, The Roseland Heritage Coast (35 minutes) is also your oyster. If all the sea views have you craving more of it up close, Falmouth (20 minutes) has plenty in the way of water activities, including diving and fishing trips. There’s a surf school in St Ives (40 minutes) if you fancy sharpening up your board skills, as well as schools for painting, inspired by the many galleries there. You might find inspiration for your painting among the stained glass windows and tall spires of Truro Cathedral (10 minutes).
