perched on the edge of a cliff overlooking the sea this is really worth a visit for all garden lovers, tropical trees and succulents among statues and other more colourfull plants, there is a lovely little shop too with realistic prices.
2. Llama Lland
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 124 reviews
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!

Countryside estate with a neo classical house and woodland garden full of rare and exotic plants. Situated on a maritime peninsula with stunning views of the River Fal.
Reviewed By S5871YIdavidd - Blakeney, United Kingdom
This is a truly diverse garden situated on a steep valley descending to the bank of the Fal river. The house and garden are managed by the National Trust and offers extensive gardens and woodland walks for the whole family, including discovery of viewpoints and garden houses for children to visit. At the lowest point of the garden lies the River Fal and access out of the garden to see the King Harry vehicle ferry crossing the river by means of one of only 2 chain ferries still operating in the U.K. In addition, the house at the head of the valley can be viewed, and a very good cafe is available nearby together with an excellent secondhand bookshop and plant sales shop.

A little bit of a hike is required to get to this secluded beach, but the trip is well worth it.
Reviewed By chrisaU9872RC - St Agnes, United Kingdom
Low tide or an ebbing tide is the best time to visit, great surfing spot, its an oasis of a Cove with a café toilets and parking. Very busy in the summer phenomenal walk to the next beach at low tide or enjoy a ramble across the cliffs with spectacular views and loads of old mines to explore. as a National Trust Site sadly NO dogs.

We have been to Blue Hills several times before, but it’s in such a beautiful place, you will want to go back. Tin is extracted by streaming and then processed on site using water power. As it is small scale, you can get close and personal to the machines to see what they do. We will be back!

Recommended to visit this park if we had time by the lady in the tourist office. We took the walk to the park which is about a mile from the centre of Truro. It was a lovely walk and the park is very well provided with toilets and refreshment facilities. After a short rest and a coffee we went back to the City to continue to explore. The view of the Cathedral from here is excellent, as Truro is quite low level it dominates City.
