The Roseland Peninsula

Wildlife, sport and beauty where the river meets the sea.

Landscape artists and photographers talk of The Roseland as a grail of un spoilt beauty on the Cornish Riviera, with a variety of scenery unparalleled even on this spectacular coast.

Protected from the prevailing south westerlies by the great mass of The Lizard, the peninsula runs almost due south from Tregony. On its western side, it flanks the River Fal and the great estuary called Carrick Roads; to the east, it swings past Bohortha, Greeb Point and Portscatho in a succession of shallow curves to the broad sweep of Gerrans Bay.

From the mediaeval village of Ruanlanihorne, through Philleigh and St Just-in-Roseland to St Mawes, the many probing fingers of the river have created wooded banks and tall cliffs, secluded creeks and golden beaches. In The Roads are the broad reaches of water that sailors and windsurfers love. Above King Harry Ferry, the estuary contracts and splits into a lush delta of moorland, punctuated by ancient villages with welcoming pubs for the angler and ambler, or twitcher come to see the areas rich bird life.

Leave the main road for byways to see the riverside church and gardens at St Just-in-Roseland. Take the coast path from there to St Mawes and its extraordinary cloverleaf castle, built by Henry VIII. Or strike east to the twin picture-villages of Gerrans and Portscatho, and north to see the famous roundhouses of Veryan, and buy lobster or crab fresh off the quay at the lovely old fishing village of Portloe.

Time your visit to coincide with one of the many regattas, fetes, carnivals or gig-races, but never mind if you miss them: in the Roseland, every day feels special.

The City of Truro

Truro is Cornwall's commercial and administrative centre. Truro became fashionable during the 1800's with rich merchants whose wealth came from tin mining, at the same time it was the hub of county society. This is reflected in Truro's Georgian Terraces some of the finest architecture west of Bath, the best examples are to be found in Lemon Street built in the 1790's, and approximately 20 years later in Walsingham Place.

Lands End

Here proudly stands one of the most important and best loved landmarks in Britain. Land's End reflects the magnificent moods of the Duchy, as it defiantly protects Cornwall from the worst the Western Approaches can storm at it.

On leaving the M5 at Exeter take the A30.

Follow this to the Western end of Bodmin (a little under 60 miles), where you will find the A391 leading off a large Roundabout to St. Austell.

Follow the A391 to St. Austell and pick up the A390 heading West.

Two miles out of St. Austell take the B3287 to Tregony, go through Tregony and take the A3078 to St. Mawes, which passes through Ruan High Lanes.

A further mile past Ruan High Lanes, you will pass a turning to Pendower Beach, continue a half mile past this turning, take the next right at the top of the hill, go down the hill for 200 mtrs.

The Old Loft is the first house on the right, with a small sign on the wall "Collins Sailmakers". You have arrived!
