Hidden Away, with 40 miles of Coast on the Doorstep

Within easy reach of some of Cornwall’s most spectacular coastline, Penvores Farm is perfectly positioned for exploring the Lizard Peninsula and West Cornwall.

Explore The Lizard

From Penvores, it’s easy to explore The South West Coast Path, as it winds its way around the Lizard Peninsula.

Reached by car, on foot or by bus.

It’s a spectacularly varied stretch of coastline, from wide sandy beaches and sheltered coves to dramatic cliffs and tiny fishing villages.

Walks take you through wildflower-covered headlands, past hidden beaches and turquoise water, with plenty of excellent pubs and cafés to stop at along the way — and local buses make one-way walks easy
