Home description
To state that this property commands one of the most outstanding views in the British Isles would not be an exaggeration. A former granite count house over one hundred and fifty years old, Wheal Call stands alone above Porthledden Bay with spectacular and unrestricted views of the Atlantic Ocean, Cape Cornwall and the surrounding cliffs. An absolute must for those guests who are seeking peace and tranquility combined with the opportunity to enjoy an ever changing canvass of breathtaking sunsets, marine life including seals, porpoises and basking sharks and a wide range of flora and fauna.
To the North of the property, the coastal path leads down past old mine workings to the Kenidjack Valley and Porthledden Bay where a crystal clear rock pool appears at low tide. To the South lies Cape Cornwall only one of two capes in the UK - and Priest's Cove which is still used by local fisherman. The cottage is approached via an unmade track of approx 350 yards which is not suitable for vehicles with low suspension and rather uneven steep steps leading down to the property.
Due to its cliff top position, Wheal Call is not suitable for young children or the elderly, but will appeal to those who appreciate the exposed position and the sometimes extreme weather conditions that pervade this westerly peninsula and who also wish to escape from the pressures and intrusions of the modern world - but beware, you will need to book early!

The West Country / Cornwall region
The West Cornwall area is a premier holiday destination and offers something for everyone. Take your time to relax and bask in the sunshine, enjoying many of the golden beaches that adorn the West Cornwall coastline or take a relaxing walk through the lush moorland or a more energetic hike through the clifftops which will give you access to amazing scenery and you may be lucky enough to catch a glimpse of dolphins playing in the Ocean.
Picturesque villages dot this area and there is always something happening in the summer months that range from local festivals to outdoor activities. There is an abundance of culture, heritage and spirit in this area. Sample the wonderful Cornish cuisine in one of the many traditional English pubs or watch the sun set whilst enjoying cream tea and cakes in one of the many cafes. This area is also a must for shoppers with its mix of big name retail outlets and smaller eclectic shops.
Whether you are looking for an action packed holiday or somewhere to get away from it all, West Cornwall is an ideal destination for any type of holidaymaker.
St Just area
St. Just is Cornwalls most westerly town and is situated next to Cape Cornwall. This area is great for walkers, wildlife watchers or those wanting a beach holiday in one of the most beautiful regions in England.
St. Just was once a centre for copper and tin mining and the local medieval church dates back to around the 5th century , stone inscriptions spelling the first two letters of the Greek word for Christ can still be seen. In Bank Square you can find the remains of a round amphitheatre which would have been used in the Middle Ages for games, plays and other events.
Local attractions such as the Eden Project are easily accessible from St. Just or why not take a pleasure flight around the stunning Isle of Scilly.
