Fanolas Farm

This is a very quiet Cornwall spot, but its central location also puts it within easy reach of plenty of attractions. Bodmin Moor is your closest area for outdoor pursuits, with top spots including Hurlers Stone Circles (10 minutes’ drive), The Cheesewring and Golitha Falls National Nature Reserve (both 15 minutes) making good places for a walk. There’s also fishing and watersports at Siblyback Lake (15 minutes) or alpaca trekking with Moor View Alpacas (25 minutes). Elsewhere nearby, you could head underground at Carnglaze Caverns (25 minutes), sign up for adventures at Adrenalin Quarry (25 minutes) or explore the famed plant-filled domes of the Eden Project (40 minutes). And of course there are two wonderful coasts to visit – head south to reach Looe (half an hour) or Polperro (40 minutes), or north to hit Tintagel (50 minutes) and the surf beaches of Polzeath (an hour).
