Red Berry Field

Where to go walking? Well, there’s Kit Hill, which has a Neolithic long barrow and 19th-century mines along the way, or Bodmin Moor (half an hour), with its granite tors and smuggler’s inn. Dartmoor National Park itself isn’t short on trails, of course, and neither is Tamar Valley, once you decide upon your best course of action - kayaking, walking or cycling. For those of you who prefer to cycle your way around, The Camel Trail (35 minutes) is a likely option. It runs 18 miles from Bodmin (35 minutes) to the pretty Padstow. That’s one of the places up north to crack open – perhaps the beach at Crackington Haven (45 minutes) or the grand Tintagel Castle (55 minutes) will make the cut too. Cornwall’s southern beaches are a little closer by… Looe (35 minutes), Tregantle beach (35 minutes) or Plymouth (45 minutes) have their own original streak. If you do visit Plymouth, the National Marine Aquarium (45 minutes) will get you more acquainted with life under the sea. While, over at the Eden Project (45 minutes), you should feel in quite a different sphere with the rainforest biomes and diverse plant life.
