Greetings from all at Treloan
A
genuine welcome is to be found all year round at Treloan Coastal
Farm Holidays, also fondly known by many visitors as ‘Arthur's Field'.
Set within a 1930's traditional working ‘Natures Way' farm, chemicals
have never been used in the farms history. Overlooking a truly spectacular
panorama of coastline, we are situated on the South Coast Riviera
of Cornwall adjoining the charming fishing village of Portscatho.
We have three sandy coves with private access from the farm.
Gently
sloping fields offer sea views from all points leading to the South
West Coastal Footpath/Heritage Trail. There is a 1.5 km Accessibility
Trail (suitable for wheelchairs, pushchairs and people with special
access needs). Referred to as "The Jewel of Cornwall"
the whole area is designated "An area of Outstanding Natural
Beauty" with views across Gerrans Bay to Gull Rock, Nare Head
and Dodman Point. An abundance of natural wildlife is all around.
The
villages of Gerrans and Portscatho are three minutes walk away and
offer shops, taverns, art galleries and Post Office. The Roseland
Peninsula, apart from providing sheltered walks and boating on the
River Fal and dramatic rugged coastline to the East, is perfectly
located to explore the surrounding magic of Cornwall.
Treloan
Coastal Farm Holidays is working to preserve and share the heritage
of farming as it used to be as well as providing a very special
place to stay. We are working on many projects towards sustainable
and accessible working practices. An Accessibility Trail is being
implemented alongside the County Council and their objectives to
improve access to the countryside for all. The path will provide
access on the South West Coastal path, and through our land for
those with a special need, this includes wheelchairs, mums and pushchairs
etc. We are hoping to start ‘Working Horse and Pony and Small Holding
courses with Duchy College , using the farm land and horses and
Victor's knowledge in doing so. A dairy is on the way and we shall
be providing our visitors with our own butter and milk very soon,
maybe even ice cream or cheese.
Visitors
are able to partake in the seasonal farming calendar, from ploughing
and sowing with Shire Horses in Spring, harvesting with them in
Summer through to threshing the corn in the Autumn. There are daily
egg collecting and milking with the Jersey cows, feeding calves
etc.
Treloan
Farm is Cornish for "Farm among the Elms" and within its
boundaries are conserved old meadow habitat for wildlife including
Badgers, Foxes, Weasels, Owls, Buzzards, Kestrels, Butterflies etc.Classified
"a site of special scientific interest," botanists have
found plants here that are nationally rare species, recorded, collected
and preserved by The Millennium Project, for the Millennium seed
bank, based at Kew Gardens in 1999.
Treloan
farm offers new self-catering luxury mobile homes, each sleeping
up to 10 people. Treloan also provides caravan/ camping facilities
on 49 pitches and Cornwall 's only camping barn, for those seeking
peaceful family holidays in exceptionally beautiful surroundings.
We are able to offer outside storage for your caravan here at Treloan
during both the Winter and Summer. Due to the increasing popularity
of the farm and the camping site we are applying for an overflow
field for the two hundred and fifty plus families that we cannot
accommodate without it every year.
We
have our own tidal river moorings set
in the Percuil estuary, a twenty minute walk from the Farm. Public
slipways are close by at Percuil, Portscatho, Fro, Place and Treloan.
We can offer boat storage and short and long term hire for your
holiday needs. We are hoping to have two Ballerina sailing boats
available in the moorings.
