Around the farm 
You will find that there is usually plenty of space for children to play football or cricket, and grass or stubble fields where dogs can be exercised. Children are welcome to assist with feeding our ponies, cows and chickens each morning, and collecting eggs later in the day. In late summer, visitors witness the barley harvest taking place. 

The Lowerpenhallow Farm trail and its leaflet are designed to show visitors most of the farm's fields, and a short walk will take you to our main wildlife pond. Depending on the period of the year, this attracts mallard, little grebe, Canada geese, shelduck, teal, swallows and swifts, moorhen, heron, warblers, buzzards, kestrels and occasionally visiting swans, and these can be observed from our hide, "Leisure Centre II".

In the farmyard, in spring, you could have a grandstand view of our nesting barn owls as they feed their young. 

Places to visit - The Roseland Peninsula

The Roseland Peninsulais known for its unspoilt rural and coastal scenery with plenty of walks for all ages and good swimming beaches. St Anthony Head and lighthouse, the famous church at St Just-in-Roseland, the harbour villages of Porthscatho and St Mawes with the ferry across to Falmouth and other boat and fishing trips - all can be combined into interesting days out locally,  without the need for a long drive. And if you prefer cycling, the farm is located on National Cycle Route 3, and we can provide information on other selected itineraries.

Many of our visitors enjoy the 25 minute walk across the fields to Pendower, a sandy swimming beach, where the Southwest Coast Path will take you east or west for miles and miles. In addition to our farm trail, there are many local walks, along the coast, along the River Fal, across the fields or along the lanes.

There are many opportunities for getting for boat trips, such as ferries from nearby St.Mawes across the River Fal to Falmouth and other ports of call, boat trips up river to Truro,Trelissick Gardens and Smugglers' Cottage. There are also opportunities on the Roseland for all kinds of activities such as sailing, windsurfing and kayaking lessons, riding and tennis within five miles, and excellent golf courses within a half-hour's drive.
