You are also perfectly placed to enjoy exploring the quaint market towns, excellent National Trust and other houses and gardens and attractions such as the Eden Project and Lost Gardens of Heligan in this peaceful corner of Cornwall.

This county as a whole is perfectly suited for all manner of outdoor activities from trekking across the moors, coastline walks, long bike rides, surfing, horse riding, golfing and fishing.

Due to the size of the property, its ideal location in the beautiful Cornish countryside and the fact it is equipped as a much loved second home, Meadow Lea is perfect for groups who want to experience country living in comfort.

Pensilva is a moorland village with its origins in Cornwall’s tin mining history. This part of Bodmin Moor has all the raw beauty of a wilderness with many well known landmarks including the rugged Cheesewring Quarry, where granite was taken to build Plymouth’s Devonport Dockyard, and also the remote village of Minions, home of the famous Hurlers stone circles.
