Boskerris Hotel

Activities

• Just hang out on the beach. The fine sands of Carbis Bay are a few minutes walk down the hill, and there are equally lovely beaches at Porthminster (1.5 miles) and Hayle (4 miles)
  
  
• Take a train into St Ives - they run every 30 minutes in summer and every hour at other times of the year. The typically Cornish, pretty harbour town is best known for its artists, the Tate St Ives gallery and the Hepworth Museumand the fully restored Bernard Leach Pottery studio
  
  
• Take the coast road to Lands End, weaving through the rugged moorland crags of Cornwall’s far west peninsular from St Ives to Zennor and Pendeen lighthouse, past old tin mines and cliff-top vantage points (Gurnards Head, Cape Cornwall) and on to Sennen Cove. The energetic can do some of this 25-mile route on foot
  
  
• The famous open-air Minack Theatre and its neighbouring Porthcurno beach is 18 miles away
  
  
• Join the South West Coast Path, 5 minutes from the hotel, where you can walk to St Ives in one direction, and Lelant in the other
  
  
• Visit the Eden Project: the global gardens, in the biggest greenhouses ever built, are just over an hour away
  
  
• Keen horticulturists, can also visit Trebah Gardens – a paradise of tropical plants tumbling down to a pretty beach on the Helford River (26 miles)
  
  
• Visit St Michael’s Mount: The National Trust’s fairytale island and medieval castle is linked to mainland Marazion (7 miles) by a causeway footpath during low tides
  
  
• The hotel can organize fishing trips, painting courses, golf (at Cape Cornwall), horse-riding, sessions at a diving school (there are 2 in St Ives), or surfing lessons in St Ives or Hayle
