  • "Just got back from a great week at Tor down quarry."

    The quarry is amazing we swam every day and went paddle boarding . The jacuzzi was a lovely treat too . The house had every kitchen utensil you could need . We had a few bbqs in and made the most of the lovely setting. It is quite remote but if you make it to the pub , which is about a 25 minute walk , the food is good.

    Attention to detail by Kirsty is outstanding. This is our 3rd visit to Tor Down Quarry. Love the private hot tub and the 2 lakes for swimming and paddle boarding.

About the location

ST BREWARD

Bodmin 7 miles; Lostwithiel 14 miles; Padstow 17 miles; St Austell 20 miles.

St Breward is a small village set amongst beautiful countryside in Cornwall, about 7 miles from Bodmin. The village offers all the amenities you will require during your stay with a shop, village hall, church, two playgrounds and a pub. A footpath in the village creates a nice circular loop past the holy well, the church and across the River Camel. Nearby, you can also enjoy the Camel Trail which is popular with both walkers and cyclists and winds its way through the town Wadebridge on its journey to the sea at Padstow. On the edge of the town of Bodmin is the fascinating museum and haunting presence of the old Bodmin Jail, which was built from granite excavated from this very quarry back in 1840. Close by are the open spaces and wind swept grandeur of Bodmin Moor while the incomparable Eden Project (11 miles), Falmouth’s National Maritime Museum (30 miles) and the beautiful harbour town of Padstow with its famous pubs and restaurants (16 miles) make for great days out. There is a good choice of country pubs and restaurants in the surrounding area.
