Tregarton Park

This area is beachtastic, with no fewer than six fabulous stretches of sand or shingle within four miles of the site: Caerhays (where guests will also find a stunning castle and gardens), unspoiled Gorran Haven harbour, Portmellon, Mevagissey (another cute fishing harbour), Vault Beach (popular with naturists) and Hemmick Beach. Otherwise, Cornwall is jammed with things to see and do, so it all depends how far you want to travel – all of the following are less than an hour from Tregarton… Land's End, the Eden Project and the Lost Gardens of Heligan probably need no introduction, but lesser known attractions such as the Charlestown Shipwreck and Heritage Centre, which exhibits artefacts from over 150 wrecks, also get rave reviews from visitors. For the nippers, there’s farmyard fun to be found at DairyLand Farm World, over 50,000 square feet of all-weather action at Kidzworld, more than 650 birds and animals plus an indoor playbarn at Paradise Park, and squealy great rides at Flambards Theme Park. For shopping, St Austell and Newquay are recommended, and have many other attractions to keep the rest of the family occupied while the retail addict gets their fix.
