The West Country / Cornwall region

Cornwall's scenery really is a north-south divide. The north coast with its wild, dramatic Atlantic coastline is more favourable to those seeking adrenaline sports like surfing, windsurfing, sailboarding and so on. However the idyllic south coast with its lush green meandering coastline, 'Gulf Stream' waters and sub-tropical gardens really are in abundance. With its countless sheltered coves the Fal and Helford area are a Mecca for fishing, boating and sailing enthusiasts.

Cornwall's true wonder is its timelessness, its isolation and geography is its charm. Much of its past is still present and Cornwall's history is one of its key attractions. From Tintagel and the tales of King Arthur, to the Eden Project and The world Heritage Site that is the Cornish Tin Mine, Cornwall has so much to offer and its all on your doorstep. Remember that when your in Cornwall you're never more than 18 miles from the sea!

One of the hidden gems in Cornwall is the former capital town of Lostwithiel which also happens to be a Mecca for antique hunters. On the upper regions of the Foye Estuary the Foye river is the heart of the town with its ancient stone bridge and idyllic trout river it really is a picture box town.

The Cornish have preserved many of their rituals and traditions while others have let them fall by the wayside. Annual events bring people onto the streets. Some of the events we class as sports - see the Hurling and the gig racing in Falmouth - others are feasts, linked to the saints' days of various towns like St Just and St Day.

Cornwall creates a mesmerising romanticism that few leave once they have a taste for it.

The Falmouth area

Falmouth is Cornwall's primary South Coast Resort and home to the county's maritime heritage. Three local golden sandy beaches which face south, natural beauty, wide range of locally owned shops and antiques galore in the Old High Street, exceptional sailing in Carrick Roads and the Fal Estuary.

Falmouth's natural harbour is the third deepest in the world after Rio de Janeiro and Sydney and provides a picturesque backdrop to the bustling main shopping thoroughfare. From here you can have unsurpassed views of Flushing, St Just in Roseland, St Mawes and Falmouth Bay.

For Divers, five minutes walk towards the docks and near the Maritime Museum, Cornish Divers (01326 311265) operate diving expeditions in and around the Falmouth waters.

Yachtsmen are superbly catered for with world class sailing conditions. Falmouth Yacht Club is a 20 minute walk from the house, and Falmouth School of Sailing only 10 minutes away, call to book your first lesson now on 01326 211311.

Why not try the famous Cornish cream tea, taste in the delights of locally caught seafood, traditional Cornish ice cream, locally farmed organic produce and not to mention the famous Cornish Pasty!

Sight seeing in the Falmouth area could not be easier - climb aboard one of the many pleasure boats and passenger ferries which ply the local waters to the picturesque St Mawes harbour, Flushing Village, Trelissick Gardens, Smugglers Cottage at Tolverne, Truro and the Helford Passage. For those who prefer terra firma, an open top bus travels continuously in season linking the town beaches and King Henry VIII's Pendennis Castle.
