Our fields run right down to a delightful cove which is excellent for swimming,
shell hunting and fishing. It is sometimes possible for adult visitors to hire
a small rowing boat. There are also wonderful sandy beaches at Porthcurnick and
Pendower which can be reached either by the coastal footpath which runs along
the edge of the farm, or by road . The nearest villages are Portscatho and St.
Mawes, which have good shops, pubs and restaurants.

Curgurrell is also ideally placed as a base from which to visit
the rest of Cornwall; the Eden project is only a short drive away, as are the
lost gardens of Heligan. The King Harry Ferry is just down the road from the farm,
providing a shortcut to Falmouth, with the new National Maritime Museum amongst
its many attractions. The Lands End peninsula, St. Ives and the Helford river
are all within an hour's drive, but many visitors to Curgurrell never feel they
need to drive anywhere else!
