Location

Tredole is located in a secluded hamlet on the road leading down to the beach at Prussia Cove, slightly inland from one of Cornwall’s most prized stretches of coastline. From Tredole there are a selection of footpaths, one leading through woods down to Prussia Cove and the other towards the coastal path and Perranuthnoe. Prussia Cove is rich in smuggling history, the cove was once a favourite haunt of John Carter, known as the ‘The King of Prussia’ - who landed much of his loot on the beach. Today it is home to a small harbour and slipway, which is still used by local fishermen. The beach offers fantastic snorkelling opportunities and is dog friendly all year. The village of Rosudgeon offers good local amenities including a general store (COOP), pub, The Packet Inn and large sports ground, where a weekly car boot sale is held.
Less than two miles away, Perranuthnoe, with it’s family friendly surfing beach, has an excellent public house and restaurant, The Victoria Inn, plus various Art and Craft galleries. Marazion is perhaps best known for the majestic world famous St Michael's Mount. The causeway once walked by pilgrims leads to the island at low tide where the tower and battlements of the castle rise to a height of almost 230 feet above sea level. Whilst the Mount is still occupied by the St Aubyn family, the castle and gardens are open daily to the public via the causeway at low tide and by boat at high tide. The town boasts shops, four Public Houses, restaurants, three cafés, health centre, primary school, art galleries, post office, bakery, chemist, ATM and a magnificent sandy beach stretching along Mounts Bay which offers safe bathing and enjoys views towards the Lizard Peninsular and Lands’ End. This highly regarded area is popular for water sports including wind surfing, kite surfing and sailing and the local RSPB reserve is a favourite with bird watchers.
The coastline around Marazion takes in some of the county’s most beautiful beaches, including Praa Sands and Loe Bar, the traditional fishing villages of Mousehole, Newlyn and Porthleven, as well as the historic town of Penzance. Penzance railway station provides direct trains to London Paddington and the town is now host to several well regarded restaurants and the newly refurbished Jubilee Pool. Mounts Bay is a favoured destination for kite surfers and a few miles in the opposite direction Porthleven is now a culinary hotspot with its incredible range of quality restaurants and annual food festival.

The north coast is equally accessible with the town of St Ives a major attraction with its beautiful beaches, selection of high quality restaurants and its great shopping, not to forget the cultural experiences offered by Tate St Ives, the Barbara Hepworth Museum and the Bernard Leech pottery
