Proper Cornish still cider made the tradtional way by Tom Bray at Haywood Farm St Mabyn
Reviewed By boyd1952 - Newton Aycliffe, United Kingdom
We arrived just after opening on 17/6/19 to a very unorganized yard which was unusual. We visit these premises each time we come to Cornwall possible more than once as hubby really likes their dry cider and I their apple juice. Tom was explaining the chaos as they had had a go-karting festival day before with 400 people looked a d sounded as though a great time had been had by all. Well done Haywood's.

Once we'd managed to find the car park, we had a brilliant walk exploring the peaks of Roughtor. The terrain is challenging but not horrendous, and the surrounding wildlife is lovely. Brilliant views at the top and a nice chat with the wild ponies on the way down! Well worth it.

Visit the official Information Centre in Bodmin, Cornwall, for things to do, events, tickets, travel, locally produced gifts and much more... Situated in the Shire Hall, our building is fascinating in its own right...the Information Centre is based inside what was a former Assize Court...many of the original features can still be seen including the Judge’s Bench and the Jury Box...and you can’t help but wonder how it would have been in Victorian times, when the Shire Hall was built. The Information Centre staff are very friendly and love to help; it is a multi award winning service, and the staff want to ensure you receive platinum service. :) So do come in and see us. We’d love to welcome you to Bodmin.
5. Lanhydrock and Respryn Circular Walk
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 10 reviews
A circular walk through the mature broadleaf woodland in the less well-known areas of the Lanhydrock estate, through bluebell woods and along the River Fowey, past the mediaeval bridge at Respryn, built after numerous prayers for safe passage in the ford-side chapel, had not resulted in the desired outcome. 3.8 miles. Steepness: easy-moderate.

A quiet circular walk through the woods that is on a mixture of trails and paved paths. There are plenty of options to lengthen the walk if you wish with a network of paths throughout the woods. Even though we did the walk on August Bank Holiday it was not at all crowded and we were on our own most the time.

This wild and craggy moor offers many historic attractions including prehistoric granite "sculptures" and the supposed final resting place for King Arthurs legendary sword Excalibur.

Parked up near Minions and walked across the moor to the Hurlers Stone Circles. Fabulous views for miles around. There are 3 stone circles 2 of which have been re furbished and once again left you wondering what use our ancestors put them to.

Great place to walk/wander/gaze...thoughtfully planned out and signposted with different ways to explore whether walking, in a wheelchair or biking (and even better bikes and walkers separately!) or wandering. Take your own drinks/food though as the cafe is overpriced for what it is, i.e. they think they are an expensive bit of a large city or (and more likely) are holding you hostage so extortionate prices for ok stuff. Big car park but do have to pay for that (and again not cheap....£3 for 2 hours and so on...again like large city prices) and no public transport there...actually whilst I loved it there as I’m typing this getting cross about the prices and that unless you have ££ you can’t access and surely that’s not the objective of Forestry England?
