As well as an amazing Cornish Orchard, there is a large lawned area and the focal point of the lawn is the magnificent Japanese red cedar (Cryptomeria japonica) which was planted in 1898, an extremely long-lived tree that thinks nothing of growing over 1,000 years. These gardens have super views down to the beautiful Helford River. Exotic plants and beautiful floral pathways lead to different areas of gardens and if you like gardens this is a must.

Highly recommend a visit to the small, quaint and historical port of Charlestown. There are many restaurants and things to do there including The Shipwreck Museum with its newly found tin mine tunnel.

Fowey is very similar to Salcombe and is an extremely popular destination. 20 minutes car drive from Mevagissey or 40 minutes by the Mevagissey to Fowey Ferry.

Great shopping and sight seeing - Cathedral well worth a visit. Walk or drive along the River Fal towards Malpas and take a walk around Boscawen Park and then on futher down the river towards Malpas and have a lovely lunch or evening meal at The Heron pub overlooking the river.

St Ives
St Ives is one of Cornwall's jewels, well known for its beauty.
This 19th-century high-Victorian country house is one of the most fascinating in England. Colourful gardens, riverside walks and family friendly cycle trails. If you love historic houses - this is one of the best well preserved Victorian houses in the UK. You really feel you are moving back in time. Massive gardens and massive house - a perfect day out.

Casual but gorgeous dining, relaxed environment and great food.
The Sharksfin
The QuayExcellent menu, friendly staff and superb location.
A brilliant harbour-side restaurant (5 stars on Tripadvisor) that specialises in steaks and seafood. A crowd-pleasing combination, where the local meat and fish is so fantastic. And the quintessentially Cornish setting doesn’t hurt either…

Neighbourhoods
Excellent pub in the village and Piskey Cove served luscious ice cream. There is a cycle route which runs through Pentewan one way leading to Heligan and the other towards St Austell. There is also an historic harbour to wander around.
