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.
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'.
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.
The picturesque village of Portloe is situated on the Roseland Peninsula. Surrounded by steep valley sides, Portloe is tucked away from the harshest weather and projects the quintessentially Cornish village vibe that has charmed so many. If you're looking to learn about local history and tales of old, you've come to the right place. Portloe is steeped in history, thriving as a busy fishing port from the seventeenth century and acting as a centre point for illicit brandy-smuggling activities until well into the nineteenth century. Although these days locals and tourists alike enjoy their brandy in the <a href="/attractions/ship-inn-portloe.html">local pub</a> , there is still plenty on offer to capture your imagination. Take a stroll to the water's edge and enjoy the pretty sights that have made Portloe a popular choice for many film locations for decades. Stop for some food at the <a href="/http://www.bespokehotels.com/thelugger">Lugger Hotel</a>, recently named the Best Seaside Hotel, or see if you can purchase some fresh lobster or crab from the local fisherman, and enjoy the fruits of this beautiful place. With such natural charm and the healing properties of sea air, visitors will fall in love with Portloe. If you've got time, you can even venture to the nearby Caerhays Castle and Portholland Beach to fuel your appetite.
Famous for its 16th Century church, which has the tallest tower in Cornwall, Probus has a lovely main street lined with Georgian houses and beautiful gardens open to the public.
Being the gateway to the Roseland Peninsula, Tregony is well known in Cornwall for its Christmas lights and The Clock House Players who perform a fine pantomime at half term in early spring making it a lovely destination at any time of year. <br><br>Tregony has a gallery, farm shop, good pubs, an antique shop with an eclectic selection of unusual and interesting pieces and fabulous walks around the peninsula all nearby.
