GOLF;

As Ruthern Valley Holidays is so centrally located in the heart of Cornwall, it offers a multitude of places to visit and experience, all of which are within reasonable driving distance.
Beaches. We are 10 miles from the north and south coasts and all their beach-bases activities, whether for sunbathing, surfing and sandcastles or for more adventurous pursuits such as kite surfing and sea kayaking; many of the bays have schools for novices and those who wish to improve their techniques.
Cycling and walking. The Camel Trail is a 16-mile dedicated cycling and walking route which follows the old ‘Atlantic Coast Express’ railway line between Bodmin and Padstow. There are several points along the way to join it – one of which is 5 minutes by bike from the site on a relatively level route. The Camel Trail is part of the ‘Cornish Way’, a cycle route round Cornwall. For the keen walker, there are numerous hiking trails and, of course, the South West Coast Path which follows the Cornish coastline; the Saints’ Way is a Pilgrims’ route incorporating many of the churches between Padstow and Fowey.
Horse riding and pony trekking. Novice and experienced riders are all catered for locally, with a nearby riding school and trekking centre on Bodmin Moor.
Fishing For those who fancy a spot of fishing, there is sea fishing out of Padstow, Looe and Mevagissey, and river and lake fishing not too far away.

The Camel trail is only 5 minutes by cycle, a sixteen mile combined walk and cycle track alongside the River Camel created from the route of the Old Atlantic Coast Express — once quoted by Betjeman as ‘the best journey in England’ — where it is still easy to imagine steam-hauled trains slowly curving their way through the valley. |
The Camel Trail is also an important link in the Cornish Way, a cycle route round Cornwall. We are just 5 minutes away by byke.
Why not cycle to Padstow and enjoy fish and chips at Rick Stein's takeaway fish and chip shop, or any the other fabulous take-aways or simply browse around the many wonderful gift shops in the town. |
