Trewithen Farm Glamping

Cornwall is chockablock with bucket-list sites, and first among equals is often the Eden Project (45 minutes’ drive), where you can wander among rainforests and Mediterranean vegetation in massive biospheres, clock all the wacky artworks about the place or take a private guided tour behind the scenes. The Lost Gardens of Heligan (55 minutes) are also not to be missed, with water features and sculpture trails on winding woodland footpaths down to the sea. Pretty north-coast villages that deserve attention include Padstow (50 minutes) for romantic Michelin-starred dinners (book well ahead of time), and Tintagel (half an hour) for explorations of the photogenic cliffside castle and Merlin’s Cave. Buzzy Port Isaac (35 minutes) has lots of cosy cafés and pubs around the fishing harbour to hunker down in, as well as famed film locations to spot (think Doc Martin and Fisherman’s Friends). Turning south, cute Polperro (55 minutes) is packed with art galleries and indie jewellery shops, and you can learn about the village’s nefarious history in the Polperro Heritage Museum of Smuggling and Fishing. Fowey (50 minutes) is another popular destination, with a large sandy beach and – if you feel the need to up the activity levels – lots of watersports along its namesake river estuary.
