Walking
There are endless possibilities for outstanding walks. From our garden gate there are miles of footpaths, bridleways, and green lanes to explore, from a gentle stroll to the closest beach, to the Hall Walk around the Pont Pill estuary, or the south west coast path from Polruan to Polperro known as the rollercoaster due to the steeply undulating landscape. This area is designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) and a Special Area of Conservation, the flora and fauna on land and sea is spectacular. Bodmin Moor is a short drive away, with breathtaking views across the remote granite moorland grazed by ponies. The Cheesewring at Minions is an extraordinary windswept rock formation with ancient stone circles below; and Golitha Falls wooded glades and craggy gorge are steeped in Cornish history.
