Portloe is another very popular place for visitors. Although a lot smaller than St Mawes with just one pub and a Hotel, the Lugger, there is plenty of beautiful Cornish countryside to keep you busy and exploring! The BBC series ‘Wild West’ with Dawn French was also filmed there.
Just before the River Luney runs into the sea you come to Veryan, probably the Peninsula’s prettiest village. It is famed for its Round Houses which guard both main entrances to the village. Legend has it that they were built by a parson, one for each of his daughters. The houses were built in a round shape in order that the Devil might find no place to hide and each house has a cross at the summit. Cornish names are as delightful as the places to which they belong. Just a little way from Veryan there are the coves of Kiberick, Caragloose and Paradoc and the beaches of Porthbear. Carne and Pendower both have very safe beaches. They are both good for snorkling and diving.
Roseland. The principle village is St Mawes, positioned on the end on the Peninsula and offers an array of accommodation, great pubs and restaurants, and exquisite hotels. St Mawes enjoys a relatively secluded position and yet it is only a 20 minute journey by foot ferry to the historic town of Falmouth, and it’s also possible to take a foot ferry to Truro.
The southern coast is best explored by foot and it’s possible to follow the South West Coast Path from Portholland all the way down to St Anthony’s Head,
and then catch the
small foot ferry that operates between St Anthony’s Head and St Mawes (Summer time only).
The picturesque fishing village of Portscatho is a haven for artists and has several art galleries. The views from the harbour side towards Portcurnick beach are stunning. There’s a good choice of self-catering accommodation within easy reach of the village, many with superb sea views. Just outside of Portscatho is ‘Rosteague’, a superb Estate with self catering cottages and a main house with walled gardens available for weddings and functions.
THE SHIP INN PORTLOE
The Ship Inn, originally a fisherman’s cottage built in the 17th century, delightfully traditional and steeped in local history, an amazing location nestled in the heart of this unspoilt little fishing village just 100 yards from the harbour, making it a perfect holiday location for the coastal path.
There is no shortage of accommodation, with nine hotels and a vast array of self catering cottages, apartments, and houses. The only pubs that offer accommodation are the Victory Inn and the Rising Sun in St Mawes, and the New Inn in Veryan, all of which are of a very high standard. With numerous boatyards, anchorages, sailing clubs and fine beaches you’ll find plenty to do on the water with sailing boats for hire, wind surfers, waterskiing, kayak hire, indeed nearly everything you would expect from a coastal area in Cornwall is here on the Roseland Peninsula. For a short cut back to Truro or to go further west the King Harry Ferry crosses at a point above Turnaware for the short journey to Playing Place, where, on a warm summer’s day, you may see Dolphins following the ferry.
Coming back up the Roseland peninsular to the A30 travelling west no one should miss Philleigh it is on a quiet road near the King Harry Ferry on the River Fal. Here you find a fine medieval
church with a charming cottage of cob by its side. The tower of the church is 700 years old. On the tower screen are painted the arms of Charles Stuart with his letter of thanks to Cornwall painted on each side. The lion in the arms has been crudely made into a very striking likeness of the king. You will also find the Smugglers Cottage & the Roseland Inn both great places to eat, drink and enjoy the wonderful scenery.
Portloe is a fine old Cornish village with stunning views, spectacular cliffs and a headland which forms part of The Cornish Coastal Footpath accessed from the harbour making it a very popular area for walkers.
