Penrose

The Stables Cafe at Penrose is open on weekends throughout the winter and during the festive holidays (except Christmas day), 9am-4pm, serving hot drinks, cakes and snacks. The walled garden is also open daily to explore.

Penrose offers a wealth of long and short walks in sheltered woodlands and along exposed sections of coasts. We've put a list of favourites together here.

With lots of routes to choose from for runners of all abilities. Download a property map above for route ideas or join a weekly Parkrun held every Saturday morning.

Enjoy your own private Penrose from one of our beautiful holiday cottages, from coastal lodges to farmhouses there's plenty of choice.

Travelling as a group? We've got a bunkhouse here at Penrose that sleeps up to 16 and is a great base for any group or large family holiday

In May 2018 the Penrose rangers helped ring a barn owl that has set up home in a new barn owl box at Degibna when they discovered she was sitting on 5 eggs at the time.

We've come across some pretty special wildlife at Penrose, recently however, with use of a hidden camera, we were treated to something very rare.

Few of us stop and think about what nocturnal wildlife lives in the places we go for a walk during the day, but Penrose is alive with nature at night. Bats, owls, otter and deer come out to feed once the café’s closed and the rangers’ work is done for the day.

Penrose is home to one of the largest areas of wet willow woodland, known as willow carr, in Cornwall and we’ve been working with the community to improve habitats and access for walkers.
