Stepping directly from our front door onto the South West Coast Path opens up a world of natural wonders waiting to be explored. Heading westward, you’ll discover Rame Head, one of England’s last truly wild coastal areas. This unspoilt headland, where Dartmoor ponies and deer roam freely amongst coastal flora, offers an authentic glimpse of Cornwall’s natural heritage.

The panoramic views from Rame Head are simply breathtaking, stretching all the way to the iconic Eddystone Lighthouse standing sentinel miles out to sea. Keep your eyes on the waters below, as this wild spot regularly rewards visitors with sightings of dolphins and seals playing in the currents—a truly magical experience just a short walk from your accommodation.

For those with more energy to expend, continuing along the coastal path beyond Rame Head brings you to Whitsand Bay, renowned for offering some of the region’s best surfing conditions. The dramatic sweep of golden sand backed by towering cliffs creates a spectacular setting for watersports enthusiasts or those simply wishing to enjoy a longer coastal ramble.

In the opposite direction, the coastal path leads to the historic estate of Mount Edgcumbe, where centuries-old gardens cascade down to meet the sea. The landscaped grounds provide a perfect contrast to the wild beauty of Rame Head, with formal gardens, hidden follies and magnificent ancient trees creating a sense of timeless tranquillity. After exploring the grounds, treat yourself to locally made ice cream from the parlour or browse the independent shops nestled within the estate.

Whether you seek wild, windswept headlands or manicured historic gardens, the coastal path accessible directly from our door delivers Cornwall’s finest landscapes within easy walking distance.
