Trevolankan Farm

When in Cornwall, it’d be a crime not to lope around the local beaches – so journey over to Hayle and Porthleven, both under a 25-minute drive away, to swim in the sea and bask on the sand. If skin needs protecting from the rays, get underground at the Poldark Mine & The Cornish Heritage Collection (10 minutes), an old tin mine where explores can be embarked on. Back out the open, ambles around the woodland, coastline and parkland of Penrose’s National Trust lakeside estate are 15 minutes by car, while the island of St Michael’s Mount (25 minutes) can be accessed via a manmade granite causeway (depending on the tide times) for seaside strolls. Keeping to the coast, the fab town of St Ives – a go-to for art galleries and seal-spotting boat trips – is 25 minutes' drive away.
