The St Just area
Five minutes drive from the property is St. Just, England’s most westerly town. This is a small but lively town with a selection of cafes, pubs and art galleries. A few miles further west takes you to Land's End and Sennen Cove, a mile of golden sand perfect for the family and renowned as one of Cornwall’s top surf spots. There is also an architectually interesting beach cafe made of wood and glass and serving quality meals.
The surrounding area is wild and beautiful with many public footpaths, including fantastic coastal walks along the unspoilt cliffs and secluded coves revealing prehistoric remains, ruined mine buildings and the chance of glimpsing the regions marine life that boasts dolphins, seals and basking sharks as its regular visitors.
Ten minutes drive away, through St Just lies Cape Cornwall with its tiny harbour and headland. Above the cape lies Cape Cornwall's 18 hole golf club which also offers an indoor swimming pool, sauna, jacuzzi, gym, bar and restaurant.
At the bottom of the valley lies Porth Nanven, also known as Dinosaur Egg Beach, so-called because of a remarkable deposit of ovoid boulders covering the beach and foreshore. These boulders come in all sizes, from hen's egg to a metre or more in length, and have proved so tempting as souvenirs that they are now legally protected by the National Trust, which owns the beach. Many visitors assume that these weirdly rounded boulders are the work of the sea, and they are - but the sea of 120,000 years ago. Sea levels have changed many times since then and today it is a lot lower than when the beach was formed, hence, standing on the beach and looking back towards the cliff, you will see a wall of the rounded boulders waiting to break away and join those on today's beach.
