The diverse woodland, complete with secret glades, stream-side paths and cycling trails, are described as everything you could want from an outdoor adventure.

Cardinham is well located for both coastlines, being equidistant to both the north and south coasts of Cornwall, with the choice of surfing, sailing or simply a lazy day on a sandy beach being about half an hour away.
