boggling. In the summer months there are the Rosalind Carnival and fetes, regattas, and gig racing, plus many wonderful gardens open to the public.
Troughout the Roseland Peninsula, roads are narrow and challenging, so using the ferries is less tiring. Te King Harry Car Ferry operates from Philleigh to Feock. Tere is the St Mawes passenger ferry, from St Mawes to Anthony in Roseland, and also a passenger ferry service from St Mawes to Falmouth’s Prince of Wales Pier. Each of these ferry crossings offer something different, i.e. seals, dolphins, birds, views of Pendennis and St Mawes Castles, and Black Rock and St Anthony Lighthouse.
Beaches include Porthbeor Beach, accessed via a coast path from the road a mile south west of Bohortha. Towan Beach offers a wide expense of sand at low tide, and can be reached from the car park at Porth Farm. Porthcurnick Beach is a short walk northwards from the village of Portscatho. Tere is a car park to the north of the village and a path to the beach with wonderful views across to Nare Head. Carne and Pendower is a stretch of silver grey sand reached from either Veryan, or off the A3048 St Mawes Road. Pendower beach is backed by Marram grass and covered dunes. A small stream adds to the idyllic unspoilt feel of this stretch of the Roseland coast.
Villages on the Roseland Peninsula include: Tregony. As you climb up Tregony Hill you pass the site of a Roman Castle, known as Treg-ney. Te Kings Arms is recommended. Gerrans lies at the top of the hill above Portscatho, where the
Veryan
medieval spire has acted as a landmark to generations of sailors, and there is an extensive popular sandy beach. From the shops, there are fish caught off the Cornish coast to locally produced crafts. Te surrounding countryside offers interesting walks, with an abundance of wild flowers. Philleigh has the tower of an ancient church and the Roseland Inn.
A mile from the King Harry Ferry at THE ROSELAND INN, Phil and Kasia Heslip, with their dedicated staff, offer a warm friendly and efficient service, with a well kept pint, a quality wine, gourmet coffee or a home cooked gastro meal.
Te creek at Ruan Lanihorne is a haven for water birds, and the leafy lanes are a joy for walking enthusiasts and explorers. When you need sustenance, the Kings Head is the place. Veryan is home to unique Round Houses marking an entrance to the village, with its sports pavilion, indoor bowling
An attractive village on the Roseland is Portloe, with its hills and cottages around the harbour and valley. For good food and comfort, try the Lugger Hotel, or the Ship Inn, for a relaxed ambience. St Just in Roseland has a church perched on the edge of a tidal creek, and set in gardens complete with semitropical shrubs and trees. From here there are paths leading onto the coastal footpath that continue around the headland to St Mawes. Tis is a delightful walk of approximately two miles. Tere is a small car park and limited parking by the church gate.
Te principal village or town, and a haven for tourists on the Roseland Peninsula, is St Mawes. Nestling in the shelter of St Mawes Castle, this village enjoys a mild climate throughout the year, and is a base for the whole of the Roseland. With a wide selection of galleries and shops, waterfront eateries, and places to stay, plus many places to visit, a foot ferry to Falmouth, and miles of cliff walks, this is a must on an itinerary.
Places to visit are St Mawes Castle, offering some of the finest views of Falmouth, St Just-In-Roseland Church, St Anthony Lighthouse, guarding the entrance to the Carrick Roads, and St Anthony Battery, once used for Army training and gun batteries. Te headland is owned by the National Trust, where there is an interpretative panel situated by the toilets.
