Lansallos
Overview
A wild and quiet Cornish landscape
East of the Fowey estuary is a long stretch of unspoilt coast loved by walkers, with abundant wild flowers and birds.
With activities ranging from camping and kite flying to walking and watersports there are loads of ways you can explore the coast and countryside.
The network of footpaths links farmland and wooded valleys to the South West Coast Path and gets you right into a landscape rich in wildlife, conservation and farming. As part of a Site of Special Scientific Interest there is an abundance of wildlife waiting to be discovered, from the wildflowers on the coastal slopes, to the many birds on the cliffs and farmland.
To stay a little longer, why not book one of our holiday cottages, or pitch up at Highertown Farm campsite in Lansallos. Find out more at National Trust holidays.

What is Gift Aid?
Most of our places run the Gift Aid on Entry scheme at their admission points.
Under this scheme, if you're not a member you have the choice of two entry tickets:
- Gift Aid Admission
- Standard Admission
If the place runs Gift Aid on Entry, we'll offer you a clear choice between the Gift Aid Admission prices and the Standard Admission prices at the admission point. It's entirely up to you which ticket you choose.
Gift Aid Admission includes a 10 per cent or more voluntary donation. Gift Aid Admissions let us reclaim tax on the whole amount paid - an extra 25 per cent - potentially a very significant boost to our places' funds.
An extra £1 paid under the scheme can be worth over £3 to the National Trust as shown below:
| Gift Aid | Standard | |
|---|---|---|
| Amount paid by visitor | £11.00 | £10.00 |
| Tax refund from Government* | £2.75 | £0.00 |
| Total received by the National Trust | £13.75 | £10.00 |
