places to eat
Talland Bay Hotel - This is a fabulous, quirky place to visit. The gardens and views are stunning. The drinks are a little pricey, but for the setting and service I feel it's worth it. The food and service is amazing, however I would suggest that you book in advance as it's very popular. Tel: 01503 272 667

If you have children I can also recommend the Tamar Donkey Sanctuary at Gunnislake where some of the friendly donkeys wander amongst the visitors. It also has a fairly decent sized play area (great for rainy days) and outdoor swings/slides and more with picnic tables outside.
A swimming pool and leisure centre are to be found at Lux Park on the way to Liskeard. Tel: 01579 342 544 for further information.
