Castle Brea Farm

Cornwall farm site with views of St Michael’s Mount
A 10-minute drive from St Ives, Penzance and St Michael’s Mount
Bus stop outside; pigs and rare-breed sheep on site; pubs close by

From boat trips and burrowing down at the beach to delving into tin mines and tidal castles, you should be able to make the most of Cornwall’s sights from Castle Brea Farm. A 10-minute drive from St Ives, Penzance and St Michael’s Mount, this family-friendly site is well within reach of both the north and south coasts. You’ll have one acre of land to explore here, and some friendly neighbours to meet. Goats and sheep live in the nearby fields, so you may see them up close. The farm is also home to pigs and some rare-breed Boreray sheep you won’t catch in many places. As for facilities, the pitches have shared shower and wet room facilities (including toilet, rainforest shower, Belfast sink and washing machine). With St Ives and Penzance so close by, you’ll be in with a decision when it comes to dinner time. Perhaps you may want to find a spot by the sea so you can witness the sun set over the water. Alternatively, there are a few places closer to the site, including a café within walking distance of the site for earlier in the day or a pub 35 minutes’ walk away. Those of you who’d prefer to leave the car behind at times may also be happy to find that there’s a bus stop outside of the farm, making it easier to get to and from the nearby tourist spots.
