Spend the afternoon on Cawsand Beach Cawsand, with its safe waters . If you are
feeling optimistic, why not find one of the great fishing points from the rocks or
beaches and pluck a gleaming silver sea-bass from the sea, or maybe a flat fish out
of Millbrook Creek - just perfect for dinner. Just around the corner from Rame Head,
is the fabulous four mile stretch of sandy beaches that make Whitsand Bay the perfect
base for a seaside holiday. Don't worry about crowds - you won't find them here!
Nearby Antony House also has internationally renowned gardens. A little farther afield
are the Lost Gardens of Heligan untouched for 40 years and now restored to their
former - Victorian - glory, with the pineapple pits and the Melon House. National
Trust Properties abound with the main ones being Lanhydrock and Cotehele. For a
day visit, explore the bioms of the Eden Project; the world's largest greenhouse.
Mount Edgcumbe Country Park is one of the few Grade one historic gardens in the country
- come and visit the fabulous camellias early in the year - walk along the waters
edge and take tea in the famous Orangery - where orange trees are still grown.
The Rame Peninsula is Cornwall's forgotten corner - forgotten surely by the hordes
of tourists who stream over the Tamar Bridge further into Cornwall. The Forgotten
Corner is un commercialised and timeless - a haven for those who enjoy the slower
pace of life in the countryside - walking, bird watching, fishing or just lazing
- the perfect place for the traditional family holiday.
