The simple things are often the best…
Gorgeous river walks down on the Fal or the Percuil… both less than 10 minutes away, the enchanting setting of Turnaware Bar on the Fal is a magical place to while away a day… taking a picnic and some swimming gear or a flask and a rug in winter… watch the boats and amazing wildlife… go in the evening for an amazing sunset…Maybe go for a potter along the coast path… you may be lucky enough to see wild seals off Towan Beach, there are beaches you can stop at along the way to fit in a bit of paddling, rockpooling or swimming…
Ferries to Truro and St.Mawes and also river trips are available from St.Mawes and Tolverne ( near King Harry Ferry)

Percuil
Drive through Gerrans and take the right turn to Percuil.There is a lovely grass car park and stunning walks along the river.Alternatively drive down to the main car Park and walk down to watch the boats.

Whether its messing about by the river, exploring rock pools with the children or enjoying a sausage sizzle on the beach, it’s all for free on your doorstep.Rockpooling provides hours of fun and there is always something to see and discover… a net and a bucket is all you need… and we usually have them here for you to borrow…The beaches down here have proper sandcastle building sand… great architectural structures are there to be created… why not nip down to the beach early evening if the weather is nice, take a few suasages and a little porti-barbecue and see what has been built that day… go for an evening dip and let the children wear themselves out before bed.
