Trebah gardens, - my favourite - just a short walk from Seashells Cottage. enjoy the summer performances .

Walk down to the famous beach where soldiers left for the Normandy landings in World War II

Trebah's sheltered and secluded beach at the bottom of the garden, Polgwidden Cove, provides the perfect place to while away an hour or two.

Here you can find our boathouse beach cafe, serving hot and cold drinks, snacks and delicious Roskilly's ice cream, made on the other side of the river. (March-October, weather permitting)
