BLISLAND
Blisland village is one of the most picturesque villages in Cornwall. The village green, the only one in the county, is flanked by Blisland Church (mentioned in the writings of Sir John Betjemen) with its brilliantly coloured Rood Screen and fine wagon roof. The award winning Blisland Inn standing on the edge of the green, offers a variety of good quality food. There is also a small shop and post office. Being placed between the moor and the sea, Hockadays is well situated for walking, day touring and visits to the beaches.

ST. TUDY
St. Tudy is an attractive village between the moor and the sea, and well situated for walking, day touring and visits to the beaches. The village has a shop and post office and the 300 year old 'Cornish Arms' is a freehouse which also provides meals and a range of bar snacks. The oldest building in St. Tudy, locally known as 'The Clink' dates back to the 1300s and was restored and opened to the public in 1986. St. Tudy is also the village where 'Captain Bligh of the Bounty' grew up, being born at nearby Tinten Manor.

The North Cornwall coast is not far away. It is renowned for its impressive cliffs and short steep valleys leading to sandy coves and bays. There are excellent large sandy beaches at Trebarwith, Polzeath and Daymer Bay and a particularly splendid beach at Tregardock, some three miles south of Tintagel. The coastal footpath is protected by the National Trust over long stretches at Port Isaac, Polzeath, Trebetherick and Tintagel. There are numerous other attractive coastal hamlets and villages you may wish to explore such as Port Quin, Port Gaverne, Padstow and Boscastle.
The nearby Camel Trail has replaced the old railway line as far as Padstow and provides a quiet and scenic route for walking and cycling. Cornwall's rich heritage includes remains from the Neolithic, Bronze and Iron Ages, early Christian Monuments, and remains of the once great tin and copper mines.

Visits can be made to Pencarrow, a large Georgian house still privately owned, or Lanhydrock House, a 17th century manor house owned by the National Trust. You may also wish to visit Tintagel Castle, romantically associated with King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table.
