The well-known gardens of the Trebah Trust, and Glendurgan (National Trust) are within a mile and a half, with other similar gardens (Carwinion,Trevarno) within visiting distance.

There are plenty of excellent eating establishments within a five-mile radius, varying from the waterside restaurant at Helford Passage, to the cosy informality of the Red Lion in Mawnan Smith, or the Trengilly Wartha near Constantine.
