For the walking enthusiast, the area boasts many interesting walks along the river and through the leafy lanes to the ruins of Restormel Castle. For the keen golfer there is the Lostwithiel Golf Course, whilst Lanhydrock Golf Course, one of the finest golf courses in the South West, is just seven miles away.
