Things to do near Penvith Barns
This is not a complete list, but it does give a flavour of what is happening around here.
Cotehele House is a beautiful mediaeval house untouched by time, with lovely gardens and woodland walks. Additional warehouse buildings at the quayside and an ancient working watermill makes this a whole day out, especially if you stop for lunch in one of the restaurants. One of my favourite places in Cornwall.
Mount Edgcumbe House has wonderful gardens. The Lost Gardens of Heligan, Trebah Gardens and my personal favourite, Pine Lodge Gardens are all an easy drive from Penvith, and of course the Eden Project is a fabulous, all the year round, plant paradise.
If you are into Steam Trains, the Bodmin and Wenford Railway can transport you back to the golden age of steam. Whilst the Ghost Busters amongst you, must visit Bodmin Jail with it's Ghost Walks, and Orb Sightings.
Land's End, Jamaica Inn, Carnglaze Caverns, the Tamar Valley Donkey Park, Plymouth and it's acquarium are all available foryou to visit. So come to Penvith Barns and enjoy a fabulous holiday !!
