Set in a secluded location and listed in the book of legends, the site can be traced back to 1324. We also have ley, or earth energy lines running through the farm, so anyone is welcome to get out their divining rods and have a go.
Within easy walking distance of Porthcurno beach and the famous Minack Theatre, Chegwidden Farm is an ideal base for walking, as the coastal paths are less than a mile from the farmhouse, or touring and exploring a wide area of Cornwall.
It is also ideal for bird watching. Porthgwarra is on the main migratory paths and is also within walking distance of Chegwidden Farm.
There are many coves all having their own characters to visit, with Mousehole only about 6 miles. St Ives with the Tate gallery and the already world famous Eden Project are also places of interest well worth visiting.
Helicopter flights and a boat crossing to the Isles of Scilly make that an excellent day trip. These are available from Penzance approx 8 miles away.
In the village, two pubs both serve excellent food. The Logan Rock has low beamed ceilings and log fires, as well as a secluded beer garden for the hot summer months.
Two very good restaurants are to be found at Porthcurno serving local produce, each with its own character and beautiful beaches to visit nearby.
