Nearby, Polperro, Polruan/Fowey and Looe are picturesque, each with their own harbours and fishing fleets. Looe has a branch line railway providing a useful commuting link via mainline trains at Liskeard (Plymouth to London Paddington 3 hours). The deep waters of the Fowey estuary are well known to the sailing fraternity. There are nearby golf courses, including St Mellion.
