Redruth Cottages
Overlooked by the granite heights of
Carn Brea and Carn Marth, Redruth is
an historic mining town well placed for touring Cornwall's many
delights.
The town was once the region's biggest and richest metal
mining centre, with a reputation for engineering innovations and
names like Murdoch, Trevithick and Watt linked to its fascinating
heritage.
Attractions near your Redruth cottage
Don't miss a trip to East Pool Mine, a Cornish Mining World
Heritage Site featuring two superb beam engines. Enjoy an afternoon
at Burncoose Gardens, a 30-acre horticultural hotspot with a huge
range of plants, woodland trails and café. For water sports
galore - sailing, windsurfing, canoeing and trout fishing - head
for Stithians Lake. (You can book lessons and hire equipment
locally.) Get close to badgers, reindeer and other animals at
Feadon Farm Wildlife Centre - a fantastic day out for all the
family, with falconry, night walks, rock pooling and nature trail
safaris. Go for a ramble in Tehidy Woods - a must in springtime
when it's carpeted with bluebells. Or hit the gorgeous sandy
beach at nearby Portreath -
a favourite haunt of the surfing set. Summer brings continental
markets and also the annual celebrations of Murdoch Day, when
Redruth hosts a fantastic programme of events.
Add a touch of glamour to your Redruth cottage holiday at
Treasure Park, where you'll find beautiful jewellery shops,
lots of entertainment for children, Hollywood-style dining venues
and crazy golf - and the whole place is dog-friendly!
After a day's adventure, relax in your Redruth cottage or
head into town for restaurants, bars and movies.
