St Mawes takes the Cornish coast to a very classy standard; perching on the unspoilt Roseland peninsula, the surrounding countryside is outstanding. St Mawes is also well known for its foot ferry to Falmouth and is home to the best preserved of Henry VIII's coastal fortresses, St Mawes Castle.
Historically one of Britain's most vital ports, now home to the National Maritime Museum. Falmouth is a thriving resort (check out the flash yachts in the harbour), a rich centre for art, including one of the country's best art schools, and a great collection of beaches.
A coastal village on the Roseland peninsula, a few miles south of Truro. It is still an active fishing village due to its sheltered location on the east coast of the peninsula and was featured on 'ITV's 'Cornwall with Caroline Quentin'.
A lush river valley landscape of ancient woodlands tumbling down to the banks of the still, blue waters; the views will not disappoint. Utterly undisturbed, with little pockets of civilisation popping up at convenient intervals, anywhere along the Helford River will make for the perfect holiday. Kick off your deck shoes and dangle your toes in contentment, you'll feel a world away in seconds.
Flushing lies across the water from Falmouth and rumour has it that this atmospheric village enjoys the mildest climate in the country. With sandy beaches, friendly pubs and lush, green woodland surrounding it; Flushing is a wonderfully relaxing oasis at any time of year.
The village of Helford is a hidden gem of a place, secreted on the banks of the Helford River and surrounded by ancient woodland, deep valleys and creeks. Take a passenger ferry along the river and you'll feel as if you've entered another world, a peaceful refuge from the traffic and crowds of the 21st century. It's impossible not to think of smugglers, pirates and Daphne du Maurier's tortured heroines as you slide across the water through this beautiful corner of Cornwall.
The Roseland Peninsula is one of the most picturesque and unspoilt areas within the United Kingdom. With miles of the South West Coast Path to explore, flower covered pubs, riverside barbeques, paint box cottages, cream tea cafes and restaurants of high repute there is little more that you could ask for for your holiday. Spring comes early to the Cornish gardens here and the beaches, coves and creeks are numerous and idyllic.
Lying on the shore of the River Fal, the village of Feock can be reached easily fom Falmouth or Truro by road or by the King Harry Ferry. Trelissick House and Garden are to the west. Tregew, a former farmhouse, dates back to 1315. From nearby Loe Beach 30 or more oyster boats can be seen working during the winter months.
The best of all things Cornish come in little local packages, like Gerrans on the Roseland peninsula. Just inland from the beaches and harbour at Portscatho, beautiful walks and views are all around, as well as plentiful village shops, a 13th Century church with octangonal steeple, the Royal Standard pub and village life.
This crossroads village near Falmouth sits by the beautiful Helford River. The blacksmith's Smithy, once the centre of village life here, has been restored to its former glory and houses workshops for local crafts.
