THINGS TO DO

Activities on the farm

Most mornings you will have the opportunity to come and watch the calves having their morning milk and to learn about life on a farm. Whilst we no longer have our diary cows there is plenty to learn about the farm.
We still hold our social evenings and have our campfires.
The chickens are a big attraction, where the children can collect the eggs or sitting and stroking the chickens is a good pastime. Harry and Hermione are still firm favourites and roam around the farm.
In the summer holidays we have a campfire twice a week after Pizza and Lasagne/Pasty night. Who doesn't love a fire? Chatting,watching the flames and toasting marshmallows while the children play and make new friends. Whilst you sit, relax and enjoy a glass of wine you can watch the children play in the sand pit or enjoy a cricket match and wheelbarrow races.

Close to Boswarthen

Of course Cornwall still has it's beautiful scenery and incredible coastline, it's many stunning beaches and the sunrise AND sunset - all available in a short distance from Boswarthen.

BEACHES

You’re spoilt for choice when it comes to beaches here, with over 50 beautiful spots stretching from Godrevy on the north coast to Praa Sands on the south. Whether you fancy surfing, sailing, wild swimming, or just a simple day building sandcastles, there’s something for everyone.
If you prefer something a bit quieter, there are also plenty of hidden coves and more peaceful beaches to discover – perfect for getting away from it all.
Many of the beaches are dog-friendly too, so your four-legged friends can come along and enjoy it with you. If you’re not sure where to go, I’m always happy to suggest a few favourites to help you find just the right spot.

WALKING

Located perfectly between two stunning coasts, we’re truly fortunate to be in an ideal spot to explore all that this beautiful region has to offer. To the north, you'll find dramatic views and rugged cliffs, with iconic filming locations such as those featured in Poldark. The south coast boasts warmer breezes, vibrant flowers, and picturesque scenery. The moors themselves are filled with a unique atmosphere, home to ancient stones and mysterious landscapes.
For those with a sense of adventure, landmarks like Lanyon Quoit and Men An Tol are just a short walk away. On Boswarthen, you can visit the Wishing Well and the Celtic Chapel, both steeped in history and charm. Don’t forget to check out our Honesty Shop, where you can borrow maps and books to help you explore the area at your own pace.
​We are ideally positioned for walkers of the Tinner’s Way and the South West Coast Path. For smaller groups (up to four), I can occasionally help with drop-offs or collections, but this isn’t something I can guarantee, so please don’t rely on it as part of your plans.

MUST SEE'S

There’s no shortage of places to explore nearby, with some of Cornwall’s most iconic spots right on your doorstep.
St Michael’s Mount and the Minack Theatre are both well worth a visit. The Mount is full of history and legend, while the Minack, set high on the cliffs at Porthcurno, offers something really special with its open-air performances through the summer months (it’s best to book ahead).
We’re right next to Trengwainton Gardens, and there are several other beautiful gardens close by, including Tremenheere Sculpture Gardens and Trebah. If you’re heading out for the day, Kynance Cove, Land’s End and the village of Mousehole are all within easy reach. Marazion is perfect for views across to the Mount, and Geevor Tin Mine gives a real insight into Cornwall’s mining past.
There’s plenty to see and do, but equally, it’s just as nice to take things slowly and enjoy it at your own pace.

Must Do's

There’s plenty to keep you busy during your stay at Boswarthen, whether you’re after something adventurous or a bit more relaxed. You could try horse riding along the beach, head out kayaking or paddleboarding, go wild swimming, or take a boat trip to spot some of the local wildlife.
If you’re feeling a bit more adventurous, there’s also coasteering, rock climbing and even mine exploration to try.
