Cotehele House, a Tudor period property and ancestral home of the Edgecumbe family is run by the National Trust.  Near Saltash, so only a 30 minute drive from Schooner Point Guest House. Enter the great hall with its arms and armour. You can then continue around the house visiting bed chambers, the kitchen and chapel. Enjoy the formal terrace garden, the orchards or lose yourself in the valley garden. Don't miss the quay side with its period boats and The Discovery Centre. If you wish to wander a little further visit Cotehele Mill.

The Eden Project is a popular visitor attraction set in a disused china clay quarry, it has 2 Biomes housing the largest indoor rainforest in the world.

The Lost Gardens of Heligan near Mevagissey are one of the most popular botanical gardens in the UK. The gardens fell into disuse after the human losses of The First World War and were not re-discovered until 70 years later. There are kitchen gardens, an Italian garden, lawns, glass houses with melon hammocks, pineapple houses, an old potting shed, a mud maid, a giants head and a "jungle" amongst it's treasures. Set in over 200 acres of grounds it is well worth a visit.
