| Things To See And Do |
| Carnwidden Farm Where Service Matters.... |
| Being just off the main A394 near Falmouth,
we are conveniently located to enable our guests to travel all
over Cornwall with ease. However for those wishing to relax,
the newly refurbished accommodation and facilities also provide
the space to 'take time out' and recharge your batteries. |
| Out And About In Cornwall... |
| The town of Falmouth with its excellent
beaches and specialist shops is only a 5 minute drive
away. The market town of Helston, famous for its 'Flora
Day' is only a little further. Or why not visit "The
Lizard" a peninsular lost in time, with old, unspoilt
fishing villages ready to explore. |
| Helford River, a lush wooded estuary
with breathtaking exotic gardens and pretty waterside
villages is also well worth a visit, a perfect place to
relax and enjoy the views. There's something for everyone
in Cornwall!! |

| Walking Cornwall |
| Discover parts of Cornwall that most visitors
never see. Choose from an extensive choice of varied walking
routes from bracing cliff top walks to fine lakeside and woodland
walks - the choice is endless. Bring your binoculars as bird
watching is a favourite around Stithians and Argyle Lakes. |
| Take a picnic with you or settle at one of
the many village pubs/cafe's. Being just a short walk from the
village of Longdowns, the Stonemason's Arms provides traditional
meals and excellent company. Alternatively you can travel further
a field and try out one of Cornwall's most famous restaurant's
'The Trengilly Wartha'. What more could you want! |

| On Carnwidden Farm.... |
| There are plenty of animals to see.
The chickens and ducks wander freely, as do the farm cats
and and 'Roxy' our friendly Springer Spaniel. There are
horses and ponies galore in the separate livery yard area,
although supervision of young children is required. There
is also an abundance of wildlife to see, from buzzards
to wild rabbits and the occasional tawny owl. |
| You will find a safe environment at
Carnwidden if you have children. We have swings, slides
and a trampoline to keep them amused while you relax.
Carnwidden has private gardens and parking, and each barn
has its own BBQ for those summer evenings. |
| Why Not Bring Your Horse On Holiday? |
| We offer the ideal opportunity to horse
owners throughout the UK to bring their horse on holiday
with them! Visitors are able to explore the wide variety
of scenic trails across the County and provide you with
excellent facilities - so nice, in fact, your horse may
not wish to go home! Experience the hacking diversity
that Cornwall has to offer, from its rugged moorland paths
to wooded valleys and of course the beaches - one of which
is a staggering 3 miles long. |
