About the surrounding area of Buzzard HouseIf you can bear to leave Woodcock House with its brilliant treats and the wonders of the Retallack Resort, a Cornish paradise and the renowned Cornish surf awaits. Watergate Bay and Mawgan Porth beaches are both within a 10 minute drive of home. The charming village of St Mawgan is situated four miles north of Newquay and 2 miles east of Mawgan Porth Beach. The thirteenth century St Mawgan Church is very pretty. Nestled in the wooded Lanherne Valley, the River Menalhyl runs through the village. The stunning and very tranquil Japanese Garden combines the beauty of nature with artistic refinement using shaping and styling of plants and natural elements. Mawgan Porth has a lovely sandy beach in a cove with a little stream running though which is great for the little ones. At low tide you can walk out to see the cliffs and rocks and enjoy all that fresh sea air. There are a number of cosy cafes and pubs across the road to enjoy as well as a wonderful art gallery.
Within minutes, guests can discover the delights of the very popular Padstow. Padstow is a charming working fishing port surrounded by glorious sandy beaches at the head of the Camel River. It is very much a foodie destination with Rick Stein’s Seafood Restaurant a popular choice. It is the start and end of the Camel Cycle Trail and a good base for watersports. Across the water is the wonderful town of Rock.
