Local points of interest from Lyn

Head down to Gyllyngvase beach – have coffee or breakfast on the outdoor deck of the beach café - they have their own bakery, and blankets and heaters in winter. Watch the surf club training and spot marine craft on the world’s third deepest natural harbour.

Walk the coastpath from the cottage – head to Swanpool Beach or the beautiful Maenporth Beach, both also have excellent cafes- or take a ferry across the harbour to St Mawes, and maybe on again to the wooded slopes of St Anthony Head beyond.
