Active Days
Prefer to keep busy on your hols? How does 75 square miles of Tamar Valley sound? And that's just for starters!
Cornwall is an outdoor lovers dream and here at Ekopod we’re in the ideal spot for you to enjoy every last inch of it! A quick stroll across the garden will have you deep in the beautiful Cornish countryside. Take a deep breath and a good look around: rolling hills as far as the eye can see! The Tamar Valley is perfect to explore on foot or by bike. Water lovers are well catered for too! Just a short drive will have you on some of the loveliest beaches Cornwall has to offer. Take a good stomp on the coast path, a relaxing boat out to sea or turn your hand to something new at one of the surf schools dotted up and down the coast.
This was one of our favourite stays ever, and
we have since recommended it to everyone we know!
