Raven's Nest

The secluded setting of Raven’s Nest is about seven and a half miles from the A30 and Launceston for easy access to days out around north Cornwall and inland. Bodmin Moor is half an hour’s drive south and Dartmoor 40 minutes to the east. Closer to home, the Tamar Otter & Wildlife Centre 10 minutes’ drive away is a wildlife and safari park over 21 acres with otters, owls, deer and wallabies, along with two lakes and a wild wood enclosure with deer, meerkats and birds of prey. The centre also has a gift shop, free parking and an award-winning tearoom. If you’re heading towards Tintagel (recommended), stop off just outside town at St Nectans Glen waterfalls, a woodland area along the Trevillet river home to the 60-foot cascade of St Nectan's Kieve, an old Celtic pilgrimage spot. From Tintagel, further hikes are accessible along the South West Coast Path, on the three and a half-mile King Arthur walk past the castle from Tintagel Visitor Centre, or the challenging nine-mile trek to Port Isaac via Trebarwith Strand.
