The number one visitor attraction in Cornwall. An unforgettable experience in a breathtaking location; a place of beauty and wonder. Eden is a dramatic global garden housed in tropical biomes that nestle in a crater the size of 30 football pitches. Its entrance is just 1 mile from Acorn Camping & Glamping.
The Lost Gardens of Heligan
Step back in time and lose yourself in Europe’s largest garden restoration; a world of romance, heritage and adventure awaits your discovery. From the jungle experience and ancient woodlands to Cornish cream teas and giant sculptures. Heligan is so much more than just a garden restored.
Charlestown
Less than 5 miles from the site is Charlestown Harbour, an original, Grade II listed harbour often used in historic films including Poldark. Surrounding the harbour is an abundance of cafés, restaurants and public houses open all year round. Other highlights include two beaches and the Shipwreck Treasure Museum, which features the largest private collection of artefacts in Europe.
Fowey
The beautiful historic harbour town of Fowey can be found on the west side of the River Fowey estuary. As you walk through the ever-narrowing streets of the old town you will witness its Medieval and Georgian buildings on either side. It’s vibrant maritime history, independent shops and galleries and Harbourside pubs are just some of its highlights.
St Austell Bay
The curve of St Austell Bay with its many sandy beaches is a haven for watersports and family days out. The area is also fantastic for walking and cycling with many woodlands and trails. Stretching between the Cornish fishing towns of Fowey and Mevagissey, the bay has spectacular coastal scenery and is just 3 miles from Acorn Camping & Glamping.
