The West Country / Cornwall region
What ever time of year you choose to visit North Cornwall you can be guaranteed of plenty to do. You can enjoy rugged cliff top or quiet countryside walks, cycling, surfing or relaxing on many glorious sandy beaches. Cornwall really is a place of outstanding natural beauty.

Bodmin / Lanivet area
Why not cycle along the famous "Camel Trail" between Bodmin and Padstow, winding through some of Cornwall's most beautiful and little-known countryside. Walk along "Saint's Way" between Padstow and Fowey. Visit the County Geological site of Helman Tor Nature Reserve with the remains of a Neolithic hill settlement.
The private Bodmin and Wenford Railway runs from the Cornwall mainline at Bodmin Parkway to Bodmin General station in the town of Bodmin. From here it goes on to Boscarne Junction. This railway is Cornwall's only standard gauge steam railway. The Railway is typical of a branch line in the 1950's. Great Western steam tank engines are the main locomotives to be seen here but diesel traction is also used, particularly on Saturdays. Not for the faint hearted "Paranormal Ghost Walk Nights" are being held at Bodmin Jail on 10th November and 1st December 07.
The Eden Project is within a 20 minute drive of Lanivet. Tintagel Castle with it's mythical links with King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table is 30 minutes away by car. Why not visit Wadebridge, Bodmin, Lostwithiel and Fowey. Sandy beaches are a 20 minute drive to the north and south coast.
How to get there

At the T-junction turn right onto the A389 (signposted Bodmin), after 0.33 miles at the roundabout take the 1st exit onto Turf Street - B3268 (signposted Lostwithiel). After 2.16 miles at the roundabout take the 2nd exit onto the B3268 (signposted St Blazey, Lostwithiel).
