TruroTruro is a great little city to explore on foot. Wander through the streets and opes and you will not only discover independent retailers and national chain-stores, but you can immediately connect with the past. The Coinage Hall building, in the centre of the town, is a reminder of the city's historic importance. From 1305, all the tin taken from the many mine shafts in the surrounding area was "assayed" here. Much of the county's wealth stemmed from this industry and many of the then, important families resided here. Truro is still the centre of this thriving County, with two historic markets, as well as a very popular Farmers market, every Wednesday and Saturday. There is always great local produce to purchase, as well as arts and crafts for sale. Truro Cathedral dominates the skyline and plays an important part in the City's story. It continues in a more modern role today, including hosting lunchtime recitals and evening concerts and plays. Exploring this delightful City can easily become part of your holiday experience by staying in any one of our beautiful Cornish cottages. |

HelstonHelston is a beautiful Cornish town on the banks of the River Cober, which celebrated its 800th charter anniversary in 2001, making it the second oldest town in Cornwall, after Marazion. Having been a former tin mining and cattle market town, it has been a centre of trade for the Lizard peninsula and surrounding areas for many years. It is commonly believed that the town was once a port, with the now boating lake previously being the harbour for boats coming to pick up tin, accessed through Loe Bar beach. The walk from Helston to the shore along the Cober valley and Penrose walks is especially pretty. In April the whole area is awash with Bluebells. Most people these days recognise the name as synonymous with the Heslton Floral Dance, or Furry Dance, as it is locally known. Flora Day is usually held on May 8th each year and this is a fantatstic event to come and visit. There are four dances throughout the day, selection according to ones position in the community and all to celebrate the end of winter. Some dances trace their route in and out of certain Georgian buildings and it is considered a great honour to the owners, to allow this. Helston is an interesting town to visit at any time of the year though, and as it is also the commercial hub for the immediate area, it has many unique places to shop or to eat in. Stay in one of our beautiful Cornish Cottages and you could be observing first hand all the delights of this little town. |

Dairyland Farm World Nr NewquayDairyland Farm World is in a rural but easy to find location, close to Newquay, just a couple of miles from the A30.

Chocolate and More ChocolateIts probably true that nearly everyone you know will really like to eat chocolate. Its history and how it became such a favourite with us all is as interesting and varied as the confection itself.

Low Tide WondersAs Cornwall is almost surrounded by the sea, you are probably never more than 40 minutes maximum, by car from the coast, either North or South. So staying here in a lovely self-catering holiday home gives boundless opportunities for seaside fun. The stunning Cornish coastline measures some 296 miles and is fabulous to walk, as an adventure in itself. However most of us choose a part of the coast to visit and then make straight for the beach. Some of my happiest memories are of hours spent rock-pooling, as a child myself, and then with my own children. Nothing more is needed than a fishing net, a bucket, and some enthusiasm to try and find the perfect places for Starfish, Guppies, Anemones and Crabs. Its amazing how many hours can playfully pass, and how quickly the bucket fills with wonderful finds. Holywell Bay is a great base for such family, beach-side fun. If you choose to stay at our lovely Cornish cottage, Moonstones, you can just walk straight from the garden onto the dunes and meander down to the rock pools....Read more > |

Spotlight On ......The weather in the South West this week continues to be glorious and with temperatures reaching 21 C, it's felt positively Mediterranean.

Decisions, DecisionsI'm not sure how you go about choosing your well deserved short break, or holiday, but I usually try and see what else is available locally, near a cottage I may be interested in. Somehow day-dreaming or thinking about what we might do, or where we might go, helps bring the not yet event, into the now, and extends the whole holiday pleasure. These days of course even a last minute short break can be just as informed, as accessing information by smart phone, lap top or tablet, can easily be managed en-route. Because Marsdens are committed to helping you gain the best from your rest time, we are constantly adding suggestions to consider visiting in our areas, to our Cottage Locations information pages. These are usually main attractions or highly recommended pubs, eateries, or activities to enjoy. By using this service you can easily note a few ideas and you may even get to do them.

Shows and FairsGrowing up in the countryside means I have abiding memories of that great local institution and eagerly anticipated event - the County Show. Great fun was had by all, whether it was watching the gymkhana, with the cutest butter bean shaped Thelwell style ponies. Westmorland wrestling, as it was then called, was a unique sight, where grown men in white long - johns and highly embroidered velvet shorts on top, struggled to overturn each other and be crowned the champ. Or my personal favourite the produce tents, where children used upside down biscuit tin lids to create a miniature garden, complete with ponds, plants and farm animal models.

Marvellous MayIf you are thinking of visiting the South West or Cornwall, at all this year, then seriously consider staying during May.
