About the location
LISKEARD
Looe 9 miles, Bodmin 13 miles.
Rilla Mill is splendid base to explore south Cornwall and West Devon. It is a charming village set in a wooded valley on the edge of Bodmin Moor. Bodmin Moor is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty beginning a 5 minute drive away as does the Cornish Mining World Heritage Site Caradon Mining District. The remoteness of the Area means it is a wonderful place to escape the crowds, cycling or on foot, and discover wide open moorland, unique natural habitats, and ancient and industrial landscapes. A recent designation of the whole area as one of only 3 International Dark Sky Parks in the UK means that the view of the stars at night from Rilla Mill is wonderful.
One mile away at Upton Cross is the covered outdoor Sterts Theatre and Arts Centre where a full program of exhibitions and performances are produced throughout the summer months.
The popular fishing village, Looe, is 15 miles away. With its picturesque harbour, sandy beaches, boat trips, many small shops, restaurants, pubs, it is a wonderful centre for a day out or starting point for walks on the coast path to Fowey or Seaton and Downderry, Kingsand and Cawsand.
The Maritime city of Plymouth is 20 miles away where big stores, concert venues, theatres and the historic Hoe with its views of Plymouth Sound make it a must see day out. The British Fireworks Competition which takes place on 3 evenings every August is a wonderful sight that can be viewed, free, from the Hoe to name just one event that takes place in this great natural amphitheatre. Plymouth is also a gateway to the beauty of Dartmoor.
Lanhydrock, Cotehele,and Buckland Abbey are beautiful historic houses and gardens owned by the National Trust within a ½ hour drive. 15 miles away near Tavistock is Morwhellam Quay; a theme park that staged a living history production for the BBC and where visitors can explore the rich mining heritage and watch blacksmiths, potters and craftsmen at work.
