The Clowance Estate is well positioned to explore the surrounding area being only 20 minutes from both North and South coasts. Our favourite beach is Portreath, 8 miles and around 20 minutes away. To eat out when not self-catering or using the leisure club restaurant, there are several top-quality restaurants at Porthleven (8 miles, 15 minutes) with alternatives locally at the excellent village pub or chippy, or towards St Ives at Porthminster Bay and many many more.
