Cornwall · St Austell Bay
Five minutes' walk to a sandy beach, on the South West Coast Path — with the Eden Project, Charlestown, Fowey and Mevagissey all within easy reach.
A small hamlet on the north shore of St Austell Bay, in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
The setting is rural — fields adjoining the cottage, buzzards overhead, house martins at the bedroom window — and yet civilisation is minutes away in any direction. A short walk through the field brings you to the beach; a few steps further and you're on the coast path, with miles of cliff walking south to Black Head or north toward Charlestown.
Straight from the door
Walk south along the cliffs to Black Head, or north toward Charlestown.
Through the field, down to a safe sandy beach with a sailing club next door.
Porthpean Golf Club's 18-hole course is a few minutes' walk along the lane.
Everything else is a drive, and none of it is a long one — 5 more places within 30 minutes, from a Georgian harbour to the Eden Project.
