A 16th century inn a couple of miles from Altarnun, The Rising Sun is a great single-room pub with slate floors and an old oak bar worn smooth by years of resting elbows. Known locally for excellent food served in the bar or restaurant, there is a great selection of real ales, mouth-watering food and a welcoming atmosphere.
A 15th century coaching inn serving traditional lunch, afternoon tea and dinner. Conveniently located for both north and south Cornwall and within easy reach of Bodmin Moor.
With two bars, this welcoming pub offers food daily and real ales. There is a garden for summer months and children are very welcome. Parking is available.
Great fun for all the family with pets corner, skittles, play barn, ball pools, trampolines and giant slide (to name a few). No need to bring a picnic as you can enjoy great value food from the Hungry Farmer Cafe. Plus it's the only farm park to have a steam railway right outside the door to make the journey as much fun as the day.
Enjoy a visit to this traditional Cornish village pub which offers home cooked food prepared to order and real ales. An interesting interior, you'll find nooks and crannies an loads of interesting artefacts.
A woodland park with a miniature railway and Crystal Challenge' treasure hunts.
Cornwall's highest summit (420m), affords views across the wild expanse of Bodmin Moor. On a good day, you can see across the county from Tintagel in the north to Fowey in the south. Drive north east of Camelford on the A39 Bude road, take the minor road to Tregoodwell and continue to the car park at the end of Roughtor Road. Bring a picnic or head to the infamous Jamaica Inn, now home to Daphne du Maurier memorabilia and a museum of smuggling.
This five and a half mile walk takes in the countryside and moorlands to Black Rock with panoramic views across West Moor. To add a bit of history to the mix, you'll also pass prehistoric hut circles and tin streamworks. be aware of lifestock and keep dogs on leads if necessary. Take a look at the iwalkcornwall link for full walk details.
Indoor and outdoor fun for the kids, with adventure playgrounds, a soft play area, ball pools, mazes, crazy golf, drop slides, zip wires, picnic areas and a cafe.
Thought by some to be where Sir Bedivere threw Excalibur into the water, thanks to Tennyson's description in the Idylls of the King where 'on one side lay the ocean, and on one lay a great water', Dozmary would be the 'great water' to Colliford Lake's 'ocean'. But that's probably not the case. It is a beautiful spot though, and if you haven't tried Brown Gelly, don't worry, it's actually a hill with amazing views and Cornwall's best collection of Bronze Age cairns. This is a moderately difficult walk covering over eight miles. It's easier when the weather is good.
A few years ago, the Classic Cottages team started writing about where we live and why we love it. Over time these have evolved into the Classic Guide.
