MYLOR BRIDGE NEAR FALMOUTH

Falmouth 4 miles; Truro 8 miles.

A sought-after and picturesque village at the head of Mylor Creek that runs up from the Carrick Roads, the World's third largest deep water harbour. Boats and sailing, wooded creeks, softly gliding water, riverside pubs and fabulous gardens epitomise the area. This friendly village has a superb selection of local shops (try the fresh fish!), a post office, a good pub and several restaurants within easy reach. The nearby harbour town of Falmouth with its exciting and newly opened Maritime Museum and its castle, beaches and marina makes a great day out while the Cathedral city of Truro famous for its cobbled streets, theatre, museums and vibrant shopping centre should not be missed. Take the car, or a boat from Falmouth, for a trip up the stunningly beautiful Helford River and while there, call in at Glendurgan and Trebah Gardens for the horticultural treat of the year. The area is perfectly placed too for exploring the rugged cliffs, sandy coves and fishing villages of the Lizard Peninsula, also The Eden Project and Lost Gardens of Heligan are both within an hour's drive.

The Property: Avalon

This well situated detached property with views across open fields and out over the creek, sits on the hillside on the edge of Mylor Bridge. Simply furnished, it makes the perfect base for a family holiday. The tidal creek is perfect for those who love boats while the yacht harbour with its moorings, sailing school and sailing club is a mile away. For country lovers, the area has a wealth of footpaths that pass through open fields and along the river bank down to waterside pubs. If you seek the attractions of village life away from the tourist crowds but close to the many attractions the area has to offer, then look no further.
