Places to Visit whilst staying at Glenmorris Park

IT’S SUMMER’S BIG EVENT... the Royal Cornwall Show 10th, 11th and 12th June 2010 at the Royal Cornwall Showground Wadebridge. Only 8 miles away from Glenmorris Park. 125,243 people attended during the 2009 show.

"Visit Wadebridge and you will discover a surprise around every corner." From local shops and galleries, to pubs and restaurants and even a multi-screen cinema. There is a weekly country produce market in the Town Hall, Wadebridge.

We are in very easy reach of the popular Camel Trail - Cornwall's most popular free attraction. This isn’t a road or a path but a 17 mile stretch of converted railway ideal for walking, jogging or cycling. This is a wonderful way to have safe and easy access to the beautiful countryside and wildlife Cornwall has to offer.

Port Isaac, better known today as Port Wenn and the location of the popular ITV series Doc Martin, remains an unspoilt, pretty fishing village and is less than 10 miles away from us.

The National Trust Lanhydrock House is a beautiful Victorian country house and one of ‘The Great Gardens of Cornwall’ with the added attraction of an adventure playground and delicious Cornish Cream Teas.

The Eden Project - this well known visitor centre loved by children, adults and senior citizens alike, is a short drive away.

English Heritage venues abound in the area, for example, Launceston Castle, Hurlers Stone Circles and Tintagel Castle, properties full of magic and myth.
