Welcome

Greetings from all at Treloan Farm

A genuine welcome is to be found all year round at Treloan Coastal Heritage Farm. Set within a 1930's traditional working ‘Natures Way' farm, chemicals have never been used in the farms history. Overlooking a truly spectacular panorama of coastline, we are situated on the South Coast Riviera of Cornwall adjoining the charming fishing village of Portscatho. We have three sandy coves with private access from the farm.

Gently sloping fields offer sea views from all points leading to the South West Coastal Footpath/Heritage Trail. There is a 1.5 km Accessibility Trail (suitable for wheelchairs, pushchairs and people with special access needs). Referred to as "The Jewel of Cornwall" the whole area is designated "An area of Outstanding Natural Beauty" with views across Gerrans Bay to Gull Rock, Nare Head and Dodman Point. An abundance of natural wildlife is all around.

The villages of Gerrans and Portscatho are three minutes walk away and offer shops, taverns, art galleries and Post Office. The Roseland Peninsula, apart from providing sheltered walks and boating on the River Fal and dramatic rugged coastline to the East, is perfectly located to explore the surrounding magic of Cornwall.

Treloan Coastal Heritage Farm is working to preserve and share the heritage of farming as it used to be as well as providing a very special place to stay. We are working on many projects towards sustainable and accessible working practices. An Accessibility Trail is being implemented alongside the County Council and their objectives to improve access to the countryside for all. The path will provide access on the South West Coastal path, and through our land for those with a special need, this includes wheelchairs, mums and pushchairs etc. We have started to work with Duchy College offering ‘Working Horse and Pony Small Holding" courses, using the farm land the horses and Victor's knowledge in doing so.

Visitors are able to partake in the seasonal farming calendar, from ploughing and sowing with Shire Horses in Spring, harvesting with them in Summer through to threshing the corn by steam tractor, in the Autumn, weather permitting this is takes place over the 2 October half term weekends. There are daily egg collecting and milking with the Jersey cows, feeding calves, pigs, etc.

Treloan Farm is Cornish for "Farm among the Elms" and within its boundaries are conserved old meadow habitat for wildlife including Badgers, Foxes, Weasels, Owls, Buzzards, Kestrels, Butterflies etc. Classified "a site of special scientific interest", botanists have found plants here that are nationally rare species, recorded, collected and preserved by The Millennium Project, for the Millennium seed bank, based at Kew Gardens in 1999.

Treloan Farm offers Cornwall's only camping barn, for those seeking peaceful family holidays in exceptionally beautiful surroundings. Our old campsite, Arthur’s Field has now been sold to the Walker family and is a separate business. This, however still runs in conjunction with the farm business.

The farm has its own tidal river moorings set in the Percuil estuary, a twenty minute walk from the Farm. Public slipways are close by at Percuil, Portscatho, Fro, Place and Treloan. We can offer boat storage and short and long term hire for your boating holiday needs. We are hoping to have two Ballerina sailing boats available in the moorings.
