Trevadlock Farm is ideally situated
just off the main A30, central for exploring
both Devon and Cornwall and the north
and south coast, with the villages of Boscastle,
Port
Isaac and the legendary King Arthur
at Tintagel.
In Cornwall you are never more than 21 miles from the sea. Fishing
is available on both coasts. Spend a day on the lovely sandy beaches
of Polzeath
and Daymer
Bay or walk the cliffs to Rock
and take the ferry to Padstow.
The short ride into Launceston
is worth every minute, for it is a traditionally Cornish place
of antiquity. Formerly the capital of Cornwall, Launceston was
until recently, the home of the late poet Charles Causley,
and the renowned author John Betjeman said of
Launceston, "it is the finest town in Cornwall". The
grand ruin of Launceston
Castle stands majestically overlooking a selection
of small shops, tiny alleyways, cobbled terraces and modern shopping
arcades. The steam railway is super, so to is
the museum and beautiful church.
A leisure centre caters for
most needs and two golf courses, Trethorne
Leisure Farm & Golf Course and Launceston
Golf Course add to pleasurable days out.
That's up the road. Down the road is the famous
Jamaica Inn highlighted by Daphne Du
Maurier. From here in your walking boots and with good
maps you can venture onto Europe's least eroded moorland and still
see signs of the home of ancient man. Brown
Willy and Rough
Tor, the county's highest peaks await your energy.
Riding is also popular, and Altarnun
Village with its "cathedral" of the moor is a
little gem. Temple
Church is almost unbelievable.
Take the scenic drive along our Cornish coastline beginning
at Clovelly in Devon and ending at Bude.
The village of Clovelly
is a picturesque, traffic-free village with narrow cobbled streets and
14th C harbour. To the west of Clovelly is the village of Hartland,
home to Hartland
Abbey, a 12th century monastery. Here you can enjoy a walk
to the Cornish Border taking in the seventy feet waterfall at Spekes
Mill Mouth and Hartland
Point Lighthouse is open to the public in the summer.
The Cornwall Gardens Festival
held annually from the end of March to the end of May, can easily
fill up a week or two, whilst being so conveniently situated close
to the Devon border, ventures to Dartmoor are
easily accessed. The trend towards activity holidays
gives Cornwall the edge over many counties, especially being surrounded
by the sea. Surfers never seem to leave the water
all year round and leisure cyclists clamour for
the Camel
Trail. Golfing (37 courses) is,
you might say, prominent. St.
Mellion is a short drive away. North Cornwall has
more rivers and reservoirs than further west. Add to that a Tennis
Centre at Bodmin, and leisure centres with pools, North
Cornwall has everything.
