Located almost centrally between the North and South Coast, Polhilsa proves to be an ideal base for visitors. Several beaches are only a short drive away as are the many National Trust properties found throughout Devon and Cornwall. The south cornish fishing harbours of Looe and Polperro are easily reached, and Tintagel on the north coast is only a little further afield.

The National Marine Aquarium situated on Plymouth’s historical barbican is easily accessible as is Cornwall’s fascinating Eden Project.

An abundance of quiet country walks can be found in the area and subject to availability, cycles may be hired to tour the tranquil country lanes. Kit Hill rises prominently only a couple of miles away. The climb to the top affords superb far-reaching views across east Cornwall, West Devon and south to the English Channel. A host of golf clubs are also located within easy driving distance, together with plenty of attractions to occupy the family.

The main farming enterprise at Polhilsa is Arable, growing crops such as Barley, Wheat, Oats, Oilseed Rape and Potatoes. Guests are often greeted by a patchwork of field’s dependant on the season. Fields growing corn, stubble or the ploughed fields of autumn surround lush green grass fields on which sheep can often be seen grazing.
