Cornwall Cottages & Farm Cottages from Explore Cornwall

Get up and Go for a walk, to the north the Atlantic pounds the beaches and the rollers provide magnificent surfing, whereas only a few miles across you have the sheltered south coast which offers ideal conditions for sailing and water sports.

Cheesewring Farm - an area of beauty

The farm is situated in an area of outstanding natural beauty, with direct access onto the Moor, intriguing rock formation, a wealth of archaeology both Neolithic and industrial literally on the doorstep and has something unique to offer to walkers, various degrees of walks, and places of great historical interest.

Bodmin Moor

Bodmin Moor also reveals rugged inland walking through granite strewn moors whose main occupants are moorland sheep and ponies. The granite has been put to good use in the building of traditional Cornish cottages which are evident in villages throughout Cornwall, particularly those associated with the old mining communities, including our farm house and the farm cottages. Recently granite has been shipped to Plymouth and London.

Walking Cornwall

Cornwall boasts a number of well marked and maintained paths including the SW Coast Path, the Cornish Way, the Saint's Way and the Mineral Tramway, approximately 260 miles in length, and as far as we understand a public right of way, the SW Coast Path, gives walkers access to almost the entire length of Cornwall's majestic coastline, a walkers paradise, while the Cornish Way criss-crosses the whole county. The lanes, between villages, are characterised by high, grass covered stone hedges, the traditional Cornish Hedge, all of our hedges on our farm are constructed with Cornish granite, which in most cases have stood for hundreds of years withstanding everything the elements have thrown at them.

One of the most popular ways to get away from it all in Cornwall is on your own two feet, get back to nature and see the beauty of Cornwall from places only reached by foot, no walker could ever get bored in Cornwall. With one of the most scenic, and longest (over 300 miles) stretches of the South West Coast Path, and an inland path network of over 2,400 miles.

The South West Coast Path has just been named as one of the world's greatest tourist attractions by Lonely Planet's Best in Travel guide 2009. The route covers five areas of outstanding natural beauty, two world heritage sites and a national park in 630 miles, which means no two days are alike!

Cornwall has 12 separate Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), covering a total of 958 sq km. These areas include ten stretches of Cornish coastline, the Camel Estuary and Bodmin Moor including Minions, the home of Cheesewring Farm and Explorecornwall Cottages. The 12 areas that make up the AONB in Cornwall are incredibly diverse and distinct in their characters. They represent Cornwall's finest landscapes.
