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: Woodbine Cottage

This simply furnished annex to the owners' 18th Century cottage sits on the edge of Mylor Bridge just 100 yards from the creek. The creek is tidal to this point and provides a perfect haven for all things nautical. The yacht harbour with its visitor moorings, sailing school and sailing club is a mile and a half away while the village pub with its good restaurant is 100 yards up the road. For land lovers, the surrounding area is criss-crossed with a network of footpaths that pass through the fields and along the river bank while the owners, keen golfers, can arrange visitor tickets at the local golf club. The cottage is perfectly placed for those who love the sea, boats and open countryside. While offering peace and relaxation, just a short journey away are the more lively tourist spots. An ideal base for exploring the many delights of Cornwall's southern coast.
