Location

AT TREDARRUP the countryside is all around as you look out across the hills and the valley.

We have a lot of different birds nesting. The swallows start arriving from Africa every spring and make their nests in our barns for the summer.

This year we have at least four pairs that are nesting outside Mill Barn and in our sheds. They will stay with us until September when they get ready to head back on their long journey.

In our small woodland we have an abundance of wild flowers, bluebells in the spring, butterflies, and insects. We have bird and bat boxes that have become homes every year.

Our own suckler herd of Dexter cattle has two new calves, born in the spring. Roaming around are our friendly bantams, pecking about providing entertainment with their chicken chat. Our neighbouring farmer has new spring lambs, sheep, cattle and horses.

Nearby beaches are Polzeath, with its broad sweep of Hayle Bay at low tide making the sand perfect for castles and beach games. Daymer Bay, is a beautiful family beach at all stages of the tide with good cliff top walks. Trebarwith Strand a dramatic sandy beach accessible on the outgoing tide with good surf, rock pools and great cliff walks.

For walkers there are lots of local footpaths nearby. Local village town trails, footpaths and the Camel Trail. Also the South West Coast Path which follows the largely unspoilt coast for 630 miles, with lots of parts for you to choose from close by. Or the 26 mile Saints Way which stretches from Padstow to Fowey.
On nearby Bodmin Moor. Roughtor and Brown Willy give you stunning views both across the moor and along the coast. And nearby, Shell woods with its winding river path. Or visit St Enedoc Church, Trebetherick, the last resting place of Poet Laureate Sir John Betjemin, a regular visitor to Cornwall.
For cyclists the nearby famous 17 mile Camel Trail runs along a disused railway line between Bodmin, Wadebridge and Padstow. One of the country's most popular routes for walkers and cyclist it is safe for families and easy to use.
