Cornwall offers an endless choice of superb activities. Here we have compiled a selection especially to help you plan your days out whilst on holiday with us.
The Eden Project and the Lost Gardens of Heligan are both just a short drive away from our park. A trip to nearby Mevagissey, Fowey or Polperro is a must. For those feeling energetic, walking the coast path is a great way to enjoy the amazing coastal views in this area.
