More about the area.
Dairy Cottage is located in West Penwith - the far west of Cornwall. All three coasts are only a few minutes drive away. There are so many wonderful places to visit but it is always lovely to return to the tranquillity of the cottage after a busy day out. |

On The Doorstep
Tregonebris is a tiny hamlet which is part of the wider parish of Sancreed.
It was an ancient settlement and the original meaning of the name is 'the tribe of the He-Brits'. The immediate area is rich in early history with stone circles and burial chambers in abundance.
Behind the cottage and up on a hill is the Iron Age village of Carn Euny with all its circular stone houses and Fogue. The view from the top is spectacular. Across the road is the stone circle of Boscawen-un. Sancreed has a high Beacon, a Holy well and a beautiful 16th century church.
The beautiful reservoir of Drift can be approached from both ends and has an abundant bird life.

Beaches
Far West Cornwall has some of the most beautiful beaches in the world. There are surfing beaches, swimming beaches, rocky coves and harbours in every small seaside town and village. These can be explored from the south west coastal path but most have easy access where there is ample parking for a delightful day trip.
