South Cornwall
In places rugged and remote, in other tranquil and picturesque, much of the south Cornwall coast is still surprisingly unspoilt, as many parts can only be reached along narrow lanes winding through lush farmland and woodland towards the sea. Either climbing down on foot or drifting along in a small boat, visitors can explore and enjoy the cliffs, coves, beaches and quaint fishing villages that are Daphne du Maurier Country. The Trust has a host of holiday cottages in this area that are wonderful away-from-it-all hideaways for families and friends. For instance, there is Bosloe; an imposing country house set in extensive grounds above the Helford River, divided into three spacious holiday homes and with a former gardener’s cottage, The Bothy, hidden in the gardens. Further on around the coast is the glorious Trelissick Garden with five delightful holiday homes on the estate and former officers’ quarters on St Anthony Head now converted for holiday use.

Bohortha
The hamlet of Bohortha is just to the east of St Anthony Head, on the ridge between Porthbeor Beach and the open sea on the one hand, and the tidal creeks of the Percuil estuary on the other. A footpath from Bohortha links to a seasonal ferry (usually May to end September) that runs from Place, close to St Anthony-in-Roseland Church, across the Percuil to St Mawes. From St Mawes there are regular ferries to the Trust-owned garden at Trelissick in the season, and all year round to Falmouth.
