5 of Our Favourite Farmshops

By -

Is there anything better? Local produce, scrummy food and fab locations - we all love a farmshop. Today I wanted to share with you my favourite ones across the county, that are really worth a visit. 

Tre, Pol & Pen farmshop

1) Tre, Pol & Pen

Edging our way near to the border, in Launceston we have Tre, Pol & Pen. The food is delicious and their restaurant is spacious. They host great events and are a hub for the local community. 

Boscastle Farm Shop

2) Boscastle Farm Shop

Another popular one is Boscastle's farm shop. Set in the most stunning scenery the food is honest, local and hardly travelled. 

Colwith Farm Shop

3) Colwith Farm

This is just down the road from me and it's lovely to see how the business has grown. A family run potato farm, Colwith has expanded from a simple honesty box to a lovely little farm shop (with some great gifts) and a distillery with a fab tasting tour on offer. The cafe has great countryside views and serves very tasty food, definitely worth a mention. 

St Kew Farmshop

4) St Kew Farmshop

St Kew Farmshop is another business it's been a pleasure to see develop. Their social media posts wet the appetite and the food is ingredient-led and truly tasty. Their shop too has interesting local wares, houseplants, ceramics, clothing - so much to tempt. Sitting in their garden on a sunny day is pure joy. 

Roskillys Farmshop on the Lizard

5) Roskilly's

Known for their ice cream, it's well worth a visit to the farm and see they are about so much more. Down on the Lizard you can wander the fields, try one of their 30 flavours of ice cream and enjoy other produce created at their Cornish farm. 

Have I missed your favourite? There are many more I want to explore!

7 of the Best Places in Cornwall for a Roast Dinner

By -

Well October is here and I am definitely feeling all the Autumn feels. Golden leafy walks, stunning sunsets and the nip in the air which has me reaching for my favourite jumpers. Today though, I have Yorkshires on my mind, that and glazed carrots, cauliflower cheese and the British staple that is a Sunday roast.  So where is best to head in Cornwall for such a treat? These are a few places where I would book to secure a seasonal feast this weekend.  1) St Kew Inn, Bodmin A roast here is truly something to write home about. Nestled in a little Cornish village, St Kew is a firm favourite with visiting foodies and locals alike. You can taste the quality of the ingredients, and the vegetarian option is tempting even for a carnivore like me. Award winning too!  2) The Peterville Inn, St Agnes   On the pricer end but a very popular choice in the coastal village of St Agnes. The produce is local, seasonal and the puddings are crowd pleasers too.  3) The Summerhouse, Pe...

Golitha Falls

It's been a busy summer! With my sister's wedding and plenty of guests (living in Cornwall you are guaranteed a constant flow of house guests). It's been lovely but I am looking forward to quieter times and that balm to the soul - a golden September. Hope so! Looking back though I wanted to share a favourite place we love to visit in all seasons, Golitha Falls . It's actually where our little Lostwithiel river runs through, the River Fowey, but nearer to its source, on Bodmin Moor. This is the ancient woodland of Draynes Wood, mentioned in the Dooms Day book. The river cascades over giant rocks, best to visit after heavy rains because then you see these falls in all their beauty.  This year was rather dry but the river was still a beautiful walk. You follow its path as momentum builds, the drop is over 90 meters in total. The area is a National Nature Reserve and a site of Special Scientific Interest, partly due to the stunning wild flowers found here, the 50 species of...

Exploring Ethy Woods

Well May has been filled so far with pageantry and picnics but the weather has been rather hit and miss! The bank holiday just gone was a bit of a wash out, not to be discouraged, I took my mum to Ethy House in Lerryn to explore just the most beautiful bluebell woods.  Rarely open to the public, Ethy House is on the road between Lostwithiel and Lerryn and has views (on a non-mizzely day) to the rolling hills and valley below. My mum and I donned boots and cagoules and popped Bren the border terrier on his lead and set off. The house is Georgian and has an Italian feel with a romantic balcony and lovely vistas.  We wound our way through a little maze and entered Ethy Woods. What a sight! Bluebells as far as the eye could see. The scent hang in the air accompanied by bird song.  Rhododendron trees displayed their vivid colour, magnolias too, such stillness and delight everywhere you looked. We quietly explored disappearing into the mist, other people there but it was like w...
