Yes the Roseland Peninsula (villages include St Mawes, ****tscatho,
Veryan, ****tloe) is gorgeous and extremely picturesque - lush,
verdant, unspoilt. Fantastic coastal path walks and vistas, lovely
country pubs, riverside walks, St Mawes is buzzing in the Summer and
photographs well. ****tscatho is a quieter fi****ng village and
extremely photogenic. Artists sit and paint from the quaint harbour
with its tiny colourful boats (also children-friendly with it's quiet
roads and sandy beaches and has two lovely old pubs). There is also
the peaceful tidal river at Percuil with its creeks, light woodland,
wading birds grazing and views of boatyards - small boat country.
St Anthony's Head at the end of the Peninsula ranks highly on my list
of THE MOST BEAUTIFUL PLACES - National Trust owned land and one can
follow the coastal path round a varied coastline, passing a and take
a tiny passenger ferry over to St Mawes. Veryan, another Roseland
village, is slightly inland but no less beautiful with its roundhouses
to keep the devil out of the village.
