Out and About
The Rame Peninsula is Cornwall's forgotten
corner - forgotten surely by the hordes of tourists who stream
over the Tamar Bridge further into Cornwall. The Forgotten Corner is
un commercialised and timeless - a haven for those who enjoy
the slower pace of life in the countryside - walking, bird
watching, fishing or just lazing - the perfect place for the
traditional family holiday.
Mount Edgcumbe Country Park is one of the few Grade one historic
gardens in the country - come and visit the fabulous camellias
early in the year - walk along the waters edge and take tea in
the famous Orangery - where orange trees are still grown.
Nearby Antony House also has
internationally renowned gardens. A little farther afield are the Lost
Gardens of Heligan untouched for 40 years and now restored to their
former - Victorian - glory, with the pineapple pits and
the Melon House. National Trust Properties abound with the main ones
being Lanhydrock and Cotehele. For a day visit, explore the bioms of
the Eden Project; the world's largest greenhouse.
Spend the afternoon on Cawsand Beach Cawsand, with its safe waters .
If you are feeling optimistic, why not find one of the great fishing
points from the rocks or beaches and pluck a gleaming silver sea-bass
from the sea, or maybe a flat fish out of Millbrook Creek -
just perfect for dinner. Just around the corner from Rame Head, is the
fabulous four mile stretch of sandy beaches that make Whitsand Bay the
perfect base for a seaside holiday. Don't worry about crowds -
you won't find them here!
