The larger harbourside communities of Gorran Haven and Mevagissey are both less than two miles respectively. The beaches of Porth Luney, Hemmick and Vault Beach are very close by as is the south Cornish coast footpath. These communities afford a variety of local facilities for daily needs whilst St. Austell, home to the Eden project, lies about seven miles to the east and the city of Truro with its Cathedral and fine shopping centre is about fourteen miles (less than half an hours driving distance). The Lost Gardens Of Heligan and Lobbs farm shop are within a short drive.
