Local Area Information
Wander down to Chynalls Point just below the property. Its Iron Age cliff fort gives a nod to the history of Cornwall and there is Mears beach a little cove below it which is excellent for a spot of quiet sunbathing and swimming. With lots of wildlife including seals and dolphins with even the possibility of seeing the ponies grazing there.
Just behind the property is the world famous Terence Coventry sculpture park, it's free to visit, see the amazing sculptures set in 3 fields overlooking the sea - an easy stroll 5 mins away
Coverack has several good shops and a variety of places to eat, an art gallery and delicious home made ice cream and local pasties too, pizza and coffee takeaway. A well known and popular windsurfing school is also located by the harbour, from which you can rent out SUPs kayaks or try out your windsurfing skills. Exhibitions of the work of local artists take place in the village hall, which also houses and showcases other village activities such as musical evenings. A good Information Board in the village gives details of all local events, many of which take place on an annual or regular basis, such as gig racing, Lifeboat Day, Air Day at RNAS Culdrose, Helston Flora Day, and the Regatta. For eating out and takeaways there is the local pub The Paris, The Old Lifeboat, The Bay Hotel all with great food with an amazing view of the bay. Roskilly's Dairy produces some of the most scrumptious organic ice cream in Britain and you can take the family there for a day out, to see the milking and sample their wares, with evening BBQs in the summer.
The Cornish Coastal Path runs through the village, offering ample opportunity for exploring the varied coastline in the area. There are also a number of well documented circular walks available which take you to various places of interest. Flowers abound, and in the spring wild daffodils, bluebells and primroses can be found unusually within yards of the sea. The famous 'Manacles', just off Lowland point has claimed several ships in the past, most notably the SS Paris, after which the pub is named, whilst from the look out point on Black Head you can observe a wide variety of sea life, from dolphins, tuna, basking sharks to a wide diversity of sea birds. The Church at St. Keverne is of particular interest to historians and is within walking distance of Coverack. If you wish to go out, the Seal Sanctuary, provides an excellent visit for the whole family, and Goonhilly Earth Station is also nearby. Riding, golf at Mullion, or whale and marine life watching are all possible - it all depends on how energetic you want to be. When all is said and done, however, for the true Coverack lover little compares to the gentle pleasures of the beach at low tide, a little fishing or possibly crabbing for the children, a beverage on the harbour wall and the company of family and friends........
