It’s ideal for family bike rides, dog walks, or scenic runs through woodland and old mining landscapes. Just a short drive away lies the South West Coast Path, offering dramatic clifftop walks and breathtaking views of the Atlantic. The north coast beaches — including Porthtowan, Chapel Porth, and St Agnes — are all under 15 minutes away, making it easy to enjoy surf, sand, and sea whenever the mood strikes.
