SKISDON
"Skisdon", is now a manor house was first mentioned in 1350 and is now Grade II listed. According to C. S Gilbert's observations in his - Historical Survey of Cornwall - published in 1820, he described Skisdon as being -situated in a verdant paddock and surrounded with fine shrubberies, walks and gardens.--Nothing has really changed in nearly 180 years! Skisdon was a favourite home in the 1860's of Mary Elizabeth Braddon- Sensational novelist of 'Lady Audleys Secret' and many other novels. Two streams meet within the garden which is surrounded by pasture and woodland. Children find "Skisdon" a paradise and adults find inspiration and a truly restful environment. Several areas in the grounds have been set aside with a picnic table and charcoal grill. The village Inn is approximately 150 metres away and boasts good food and service, families are welcome.The owner can reserve a table in advance for your first or second evening meal. One mile distant is St Kew Highway, with extensive supermarket, petrol station and post office. St Kew is just 4 miles from the North Cornwall coastline and similar distance to the heart of Bodmin Moor, whilst Wadebridge 5 miles south has delightful shops and restaurants. The North Cornish coast here is spectacular. Polzeath, popular for its great expanse of sand and fascinating rock pools, is also a superb surfing beach. The beautiful Camel Estuary has wide expanses of clean sand, salt marsh and dunes; great for bird-watching, walking and all kinds of watersports including sailing, water-skiing and sail-boarding. Daymer Bay is particularly popular with the high wind/wave-jumping enthusiasts among the latter. It was here at Trebetherick and Daymer Beach, that John Betjeman spent his childhood holidays and eventually had his home. 'Then before breakfast, down
