Here you will find the Halligye Fogou, the largest and best-preserved of several mysterious underground stone chambers or tunnels associated with Cornish Iron Age settlements and thought to be dated from the 4th or 5th century BC. ‘Fogous,’ a Cornish-language word meaning cave, are considered to have been places of refuge, storage chambers or ritual shrines.
In the gorgeous stable yard of Trelowarren, is the Flora Cafe and New Yard Restaurant. Run by a lovely young couple, Tim and Louise, they serve delicious, seasonal food, from produce homegrown in the walled garden or from a network of small growers, farmers, fisherfolk and foragers.
