Continue onto Lostwithiel, where you can brush up on the local history at Lostwithiel Museum, dine at The Globe Inn, and sample local ales at Fowey Valley Cidery & Distillery, or further onto Padstow, where you’ll find the National Lobster Hatchery, Prideaux Place, Sealife Safaris and a variety of restaurants serving everything from fresh seafood to classic Italian dishes. All this and more awaits at Caragavor.

Bodmin, the historic county town of Cornwall, is ideally located to take advantage of the rest of the county's wonderful tourist attractions. Only 15 miles separate the world-class surf, rocky cliffs, and hidden coves of the north coast from the more tranquil dunes and river estuaries of the south coast, and on the outskirts of town, the fascinating museum and spooky presence of the ancient Bodmin Jail awaits. Cycling and hiking enthusiasts will enjoy the Camel Trail, which passes through town on its route to the sea at Padstow. Bodmin Moor, with its vast spaces and windswept majesty, is not far away. Also within driving distance are the unparalleled Eden Project (11 miles), the National Maritime Museum in Falmouth (30 miles), and the picturesque harbour town of Padstow (16 miles), home to renowned pubs and restaurants. Lanhydrock House, Fowey, Charlestown and its Tall Ships, The Eden Project, and Lostwithiel are also conveniently located and make for wonderful day trips. Those who are hungry can pick from a wide variety of local restaurants and country inns.
