Things To Do
Around & About Cornwall

Higher Trevartha Farm is ideally situated
for guests wishing to visit all areas of Cornwall
and indeed parts of Devon and Dartmoor too ......

All destinations are within easy reach by car and
for those who would prefer to leave the car behind,
the main train line running down to Penzance
and up to Plymouth, is just 4 miles drive away.....
If you prefer to walk, the pretty country
lanes are all around and both south and north coastal paths are just a short drive away, with breathtaking walks in both directions......
For those who prefer to soak up the sun and relax, some of Cornwalls most beautiful coves
and beaches are also within easy reach by car.....

For the more energetic, the famous Camel Trail
running from Bodmin to Wadebridge
is the ideal place to hire a bicyle, or,
Lower Tokenbury offers horse riding in some of
the prettiest parts of Cornwall.

Plymouth is just sixteen miles from the farm
and provides a full varied day out.
It has an excellent shopping centre
with plenty of places to eat and drink
and the walk along the Hoe to the Barbican,
provides spectacular sea views.
For those interested in river activities, the Barbican
is the place to be with all its comings and goings.
The quaint narrow streets, high class gift shops, fine restaurants and pubs which circle the harbour, provide a wonderful contrast to Plymouth's main shopping area.
The Barbican is also home to the National Marine Aquarium, Europes largest and is well worth a visit.
