West Kellow
Farm is nestled amidst rolling Cornish countryside in an area
of outstanding natural beauty. Guests are welcome to stroll round
the garden and down to the wildlife pond to watch ducks, moorhens,
birds and other wildlife in their natural surroundings. Close
by, you will find delightful fishing villages, sandy beaches
and the
spectacular coastal paths of South
East Cornwall.
Polperro with
its narrow, winding streets, harbour and sandy beach with caves
and rock pools to explore is close
by. Futher along
the coast you will find the historic fishing port of Looe where
children
can enjoy the safe, sandy beach and go crab fishing off the
quay. Speed boat rides go from the banjo pier and you can also
hire a self drive boat to go up the Looe River where you can
see swans and other wildlife. For those with sturdy sea legs,
mackerel fishing trips run from the quay.
A short drive
away to the west of West Kellow Farm is Lansallos with
its secluded bay reached by a footpath which is featured in
part
of the 'Poldark' series. Continue
along the coast to the west and you will find the spectacular
bays
of Lantivet and Lantic. The
rugged beach at Talland Bay lies to the east
of West Kellow Farm.
Fowey,
of Daphne du Maurier fame, is only 4 miles via the Bodinnick
Car Ferry. The
internationally famous
Eden Project,
the Lost Gardens of
Heligan and the magnificent house and gardens
at Lanhydrock (NT)
and Cotehele (NT)
are all within easy reach..
Further inland,
Bodmin Moor, home of the famous Jamaica
Inn,
offers miles of spectacular
scenery as well as fascinating prehistoric remains and more recent
mining heritage. The old mining village of Minions with
its cafes and Mining Heritage centre and the Cheesewring
and the Hurlers (ancient standing stone circles close to Minions)
are well worth a visit.
