Walking

Apart from its proximity to the Clay Trails (less than 1 mile to closest point), there are numerous public footpaths close by. Just a little further afield is the beautiful Luxulyan Valley (2.8 miles) and the South West Costal Path (5.8 miles at closest car park) at Carlyon Bay.

Golf

I know, I know…who’s interested in golf. Well…Nick is!! Three courses are close by – Carlyon Bay is an absolute gem and the most expensive, as a Championship standard course. Porthpean is an absolutely delightful challenge of golf and very good value, and one of the most welcoming we have visited. You still have the choice of a third course, St Austell.  All courses are parkland style, despite the first two having coastal locations and spectacular views from most of the course.
