Something about Treworgey induces a leisurely feeling in many
of our visitors. They tell us they spend more time than they
thought they would sitting in their garden taking in the peaceful atmosphere. Childhood at Treworgey is more like that of a
generation ago. Time is forgotten, whilst damming a stream, helping with the animals ... riding a pony, playing tennis, a swim
or “afternoon tea” in the wendy house.
However, for the more adventurous, there is plenty to do and see. To help you explore, in each cottage there are ordnance survey maps, numerous booklets and our own information
folder with a mass of holiday ideas, such as:
Looe (3 miles), seen from the cottages in the distance, is a picturesque, small fishing town with river and harbour. Charming by day and night with several excellent restaurants, very good small shops, fresh fish off the quay, beaches, rockpools, sea fishing, boats – (for hire) – includes glass bottom boat and trips to neighbouring fishing villages.
Polperro (6 miles) – famous delightful fishing village, full of life day and night! Breathtaking when approached via the National Trust coastal footpath from Talland Bay and Lantic Bay - two of our local beaches most popular with Treworgey visitors.
Fowey (8 miles) – the deep natural harbour is picturesque from every approach. Try taking the car ferry from Bodinnick or the passenger ferry from Polruan. Enjoy browsing the delightful shops and eateries.
Tennis (right here at Treworgey) top quality court.
Riding (right here at Treworgey) – friendly staff, lovely riding, excellent tuition.
Golf – Looe golf club (3 miles), Carlyon Bay and St Mellion.
Eden Project – a must for all visitors to Cornwall (30 mins).
National Trust Houses and Gardens – many, including Lanhydrock (25 Mins) and Cotehele (45 mins); excellent lunches at both.
Cornwall is world famous for it’s many wonderful gardens, especially in the spring. The Lost Gardens of Helligan (45 mins) for one.

Fishing – good range of lake, river and sea. Shark fishing from Looe.
Diving – PADI facilities in Looe.
Beaches – many delightful coves within easy reach.
Boating – trips out to sea and canoe trips or boat hire on the beautiful Looe river.
Walking – beautiful National Trust South West coast footpath, forest trails, moors and lovely walks from your cottage door.
For the children – a monkey sanctuary near Looe, the Forest Railway and its excellent theme park at Dobwalls (5 miles), Porfell Animal Farm and nature studies nearby. Indoor and outdoor play and pet animals right here at Treworgey.
Museums, aquariums and collections – many
interesting ones.
City lights – Plymouth (45 mins) – destroyed 1941, now a modern city with a history, Drake played bowls on the Hoe while awaiting the Armada. The departure of the Founding Fathers for America.
Truro – Cornwall’s capital and only city. Pedestrian streets, old and modern shops, clustered round the cathedral. An unusually
lovely city to visit.
Eating out – many excellent restaurants (especially locally caught really fresh fish ones!) and good pubs nearby. Our local pub is just a mile’s walk over the fields and down the lanes from Treworgey.
Trains..... Why not leave the car behind and walk the three quaters of a mile through Treworgey bluebell woods to our charming, little, branch line station at Sandplace. Trains run from here beside the river to Looe, or back to Liskeard and the London to Penzance main line.
