Luxury Cornish Yurts

Due to its close proximity to the moor, Liskeard is very well placed for promenades punctuated by picnics beginning right at your yurt, and there are some wonderful woodland walks at Golitha Falls and Cardinham Woods, both well within half an hour's drive away. Head into ancient Liskeard, where you can see the success of the 19th-century copper mining boom there in its huge early Victorian former hotel, Webb's House, the Guildhall and Stuart House, which once provided princely lodgings for Charles II, no less. There are also plenty of inns, cafés and shops in Liskeard too if you fancy dining out one evening or grabbing sausagey supplies for a griddle soiree back at base. Over at Adrenalin Quarry – a rural adventure centre set on the site of (you've guessed it) an old quarry – you can clamber over rocks, hurtle down one of England's longest ziplines and swim in a deepwater lake. At Tree Surfers over in Gulworthy you'll find a complex of ladders, rope bridges, zip wires and walkways networking the canopy of a broadleaf woodland – just don't look down. Several surfing and beaches are within easy reach by car, and you can set sail for a sea fishing trip from the small coastal town of Looe, 20 minutes' drive away, or go on an angling expedition at Siblyback Lake.
