Rosebud Farm - Local Attractions

A very popular and safe beach break for all ages and ability. Works well at low tide and on the push in. At low tide the right hand side gets very crowded due to the sand bank that produces a great inside section.

Very popular beach especially with windsurfers, in general, this is the last place to look for waves, however, on the biggest storm swells this is probably the only place you will be able to surf, when Polzeath is excessively big and blown out.

Dominating the skyline to the southeast of Delabole is Roughtor, the second highest tor on Bodmin Moor. From the top on a clear day, the north and the south coast of Cornwall can be seen. This can be achieved by a half an hours walk from the car park at the bottom, which can be accessed by a long narrow road from Tregoodwell near Camelford. Bronze Age remains abound on the moor, and a mile away to the south is Brown Willy, the highest tor in Cornwall. At the summit of Roughtor is a memorial to the men of the Wessex Division, who fell in the second world war. At the foot of Roughtor by the stream, will be found the memorial to Charlotte Dymond, the victim of a Victorian Murder. 

Recently voted "The Nation's Favourite Garden" by BBC Gardeners' World viewers, the award-winning restoration of Heligan's productive gardens is only one of many features which combine to create a destination with a breadth of interest around the year. In excess of 200 acres are open to the public, including a magnificent complex of walled gardens, and 22 acres of subtropical 'jungle' valley.

Beyond the gardens, visitors are encouraged to explore woodland, lakeside and farm walks through beautiful Cornish countryside, where sustainable management practices promote habitat conservation, and a pioneering new wildlife project offers visitors a close-up view of wildlife native to the estate. Visit the website here

Pencarrow estate has been the home of the Molesworth family and their descendants since Elizabethan times. A guided tour around the 50 room Georgian mansion does much more than display a superb collection of antique furniture, paintings and porcelain; it makes the family's history come alive whilst having that warmth which reminds you it is still the privately owned and lived in home of the Molesworth-St Aubyn family. Pencarrow is approached by a magnificent mile-long carriage drive. Around the Palladian mansion are formal gardens, a large Victorian rock garden and 50 acres of parkland, lake and woodland with more than 700 varieties of rhododendrons and many camellias, easily accessible along well-maintained footpaths. There are lovely Tea Rooms, and a Wendy House with plenty of toys... Visit the website here

Magnificent late Victorian country house with extensive servants’ quarters, gardens and wooded estate. One of the most fascinating and complete late 19th-century houses in England, Lanhydrock is full of period atmosphere. Although the gatehouse and north wing (with magnificent 32yd-long gallery with plaster ceiling) survive from the 17th century, the rest of the house was rebuilt following a disastrous fire in 1881. The new house featured the latest in contemporary living, including central heating. The garden has a stunning collection of magnolias, rhododendrons and camellias, and offers fine colours right through into autumn. All this is set in a glorious estate of 364ha (900 acres) of woods and parkland running down to the River Fowey, with an extensive network of footpaths.      Visit the website here
