Sennen Cove, with its half a mile of golden sand is just 10 minutes drive away offering swimming and surfing in a majestic setting, or you may prefer the smaller, secluded coves such as Porth Nanven, where the River Cot meets the Atlantic, or Cape Cornwall. The Cot Valley and adjacent granite sea cliff coast are renowned for their wildlife, and offer stunning coastal walks within easy reach of the barn via a network of quiet lanes and footpaths. It is an ideal base for those wishing to walk sections of the West Penwith leg of the Cornwall Coast Path.
Penzance is just 10 minutes drive away, with its wide range of shops and services, and Land’s End is a similar distance. Places such as Marazion, St Michael’s Mount, the fishing ports of Newlyn and Mousehole and the ‘Poldark coast’ (where much of the series was filmed) with its rich industrial mining heritage are all within a 15-20 minute drive so there is always something to do or new and interesting places to see. If you fancy a trip to the Scilly Isles then Land’s End airport offers regular flights, or you may prefer to go by sea on the Scillonian from Penzance.
