SITUATION Vose Farm is situated just outside the historic village of Tregony, known to many as the "gateway" to the Roseland Peninsula. One of the most unspoilt areas in Cornwall and designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, The Roseland is widely renowned for its beautiful coastline and scenic countryside. Standing on the eastern side of the River Fal, The Peninsula extends from Tregony to St. Anthony's Head, much being in the ownership of the local Tregothnan Estate and The National Trust.
St. Mawes is perhaps the best known destination on the peninsula and needs little introduction as the up-market sailing community renowned for Olga Polizzi's Hotel Tresanton. Set around a sheltered and picturesque natural harbour at the mouth of the Percuil River, St. Mawes offers direct access to the Fal Estuary and Carrick Roads with some of the finest day sailing waters in the country. Regular racing is organized by St. Mawes Sailing Club with further water sports available on the Percuil River.
The nearest beach is at Caerhays with other notable nearby beaches including Pendower, Carne and Porthbeor. The pretty, classic small fishing village of Portloe is approximately 6 miles to the south with Portscatho slightly further away. The Southwest Coast Path provides a variety of beautiful walks along this stretch of coastline including Dodman Point and Nare Head, both of which are in the ownership of The National Trust.
Tregony is just under 3 miles away where there is primary and secondary schooling together with an inn, general stores, doctors and a dentist.
The cathedral city of Truro is approximately 11 miles distant and now forms the commercial heart of the county with an extensive range of commercial, professional, shopping and entertainment facilities. There are private schools around the city whilst in the city centre there is a flagship Marks and Spencer Store, multi-screen cinema and the Hall for Cornwall theatre. There is a mainline railway station in Truro linking with London Paddington and Newquay Airport on the north coast has a number of scheduled domestic and international flights.
