1. St. Just in Roseland Church
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 228 reviews
Described as one of the prettiest in England, this church sits proudly on the waters edge amongst sub-tropical trees and shrubs.
Reviewed By 324CarolineS324 - East Sussex, United Kingdom
The churchyard described as ‘the most beautiful in the world’ is just that. A palm filled tropical woodland with green moss and fern it winds down the hill of tiered graves of beautiful calligraphy and Celtic crosses. Wirth taking time to meander through. At the bottom is this small picturesque church steeped in history on the waters edge . So atmospheric and peaceful it was a truly magical setting that made you want to linger soaking in every bit . Truly memorable and a joy to see. Then head on up the slope for a slap up cream tea at Mrs T’s at the top. PERFECT afternoon!

We bought our first Treasure Trail ahead of a recent day out in Broadstairs and what a bonus it turned out to be. It was an excellent way to explore the town and having to follow a route and look for answers to clues made it an interesting and enjoyable experience into the process. The questions were not overly taxing although there were a few that made you think but it did make you explore the town a little more. It suggests the route would take about two hours, which it is most likely to do, but it took us about four hours by the time we visited antique shops, art shops, coffee shops and took photos along the way! It certainly enhanced our day out and we will certainly invest in another Treasure Trail on a future day out.

Overall Ratings

Nestled in the centre of the Cornish countryside only three miles from Truro, Llama Lland is set within our 140-acre farm. This farm has been in the Tripp family for over one hundred years. Established in 2001, Llama Lland is renowned for its quality and enjoyment factor. Due to the growing popularity in Llamas and being a one of a kind business in Cornwall, Llama Lland has become a sought-after attraction for those looking for a natural experience in the beautiful countryside. The friendly, relaxed atmosphere makes Penare Farm the perfect place for a peaceful walk with our Llamas. With the surrounding hills and amazing views your experience will be fun and enjoyable!

Definitely a unique experience visiting Llama Land. After mistakenly arriving at the wrong farm 200 yards away, we called Tom who directed us to the entrance. Seems its a common issue, but one he is looking to resolve. Tom introduced himself and set out the plan for the 3 hour experience. He then led us to the main barn where the Llamas were waiting patiently. He passionately explained the names and personalities of each llama and tried to match you up for the walk with a llama that fitted your personality and confidence with handling the animals. On the lovely cross-country walk (wellies or good walking boots advised!) we were kept entertained by our own and each others llama's - as well as Tom's amusing stories! After the walk, we were taken to another section of the farm to meet the other female llamas and the baby ones, and spent some time learning about the breeding and their names and habits - Tom is clearly very passionate about what he does. After this we were led to a larger barn, which is clearly being converted into a cafe/picnic area where he had laid on sandwiches, salads, scones and other snacks - all included in the price. It was a brilliant 3 hours, and although initially we had wondered about the price tag, Tom works really hard to make sure you get value for money. It would be great to see this experience grow but hopefully also retain it's unique feel. Thanks Tom!
