Local area
The Roseland Peninsula is a lovely quiet corner of Cornwall filled with secluded beaches, scenic headlands and picturesque creeks and villages. On the east side of the Roseland are the small villages of Portscatho and Gerrans. This area is fabulous for walking, offering a great variety of wonderful coastal and inland walks and its safe bays provide the perfect playground for a wide range of watersports.
The Lost Gardens of Heligan are just a short drive away. Explore the Roseland villages and hamlets such as St Mawes with its castle built by Henry VIII, Veryan with its famous roundhouses and Portloe with its tiny harbour.
