Also at the Information Centre you can purchase maps to enable you to explore the footpaths in the remote areas, including the Cornwall coastal
footpath. You will see wildlife and rare birds and if you come in the spring every hedgerow and clifftop is a multi-coloured carpet of wild flowers.It is at the beginning of Penwartha Coombe (Coombe meaning valley),
with a stream running alongside the road with banks of wild flowers and trees, a very cool and refreshing walk away from the busy streets of Perranporth and well worth a visit. Quaint villages abound and nearby lies
Trerice Manor, owned by the National Trust. Bolingey is a hamlet situated a mile from Perranporth. Charming and picturesque, with a pretty 17th century inn, Bolingey is surrounded by miles of footpaths and bridleways.
The choice is yours: boating or putting in the beautiful gardens, or play golf on the local 18 hole golf links nearby. Visitors are welcome to the Bowling Club in Perranporth, and also to the Gliding Club. You can 'go
up' if you like! Enjoy a spectacular view of Cornwall on a scenic flight from Perranporth Airfield. The local area is covered by special trips and your own route can be arranged. Enjoy a gentle horse ride through the
countryside via bridleways or a good gallop on the sand dunes. Grass and hard courts are available for tennis and also there is a bird watching hide in Nansmellyn Marsh (a nature reserve). In Bolingey there is the
coarse fishing lake, with carp, tench, roach, rudd, perch, trout and some eels. A warm welcome awaits you here at one of the top ten still waters in the country. Tackle can be hired by the day.South West Water
