Within a short distance country walks will be found on the ‘Great Flat Lode’ mining trail, Carn Brea, which is a local landmark is also within walking distance and here there are panoramic views along Cornwall’s north coast, a folly dedicated to a local mine owner and a fourteenth century former hunting lodge now used as a restaurant.  Nearby at Piece is the Countryman Public House.

The major town of Redruth is within two miles and here there is a mix of local and national shopping outlets, locally well respected schooling is available for all ages and there is a mainline Railway Station with direct access to London and the north of the country.
