Campsite overview
Welcome to Pensagillas Park, Pensagillas is the home of the Kent
family and it has been in our possession for 6 generations. Pensagillas is our family home and we take pride in everything we do. Cleanliness and tidiness prevail throughout the park. ATarmac roadway connect the meadows where the grass is closely mown. Mature and young trees, together with young hedging, and shrubs all add to the landscaping.
Great activities / places of interest within walking distance
Pensagillas Park is situated a few minutes drive from The beautiful Fishing village of Mevagissey , The Lost Gardens of Heligan, The Eden Project and many spectacular Beaches.
Great activities / places of interest a little further afield
The Pentewan Valley Cycle Trial - joining the national cycle trial, linking St. Austell to Pentewan and Heligan Gardens. It runs along a picturesque valley, where cycles can be hired by the hour, flat and easy going for beginners and experts alike. It runs along a river right into Pentewan itself, with an excellent beach, a few local shops and a St. Austell Ales pub (for connoisseurs of real ale). Pentewan is also the home of a sailing club, which specialises in small dinghy's.
Heligan Gardens - not to be missed by garden lovers, these lost gardens were re-found some years ago, and are constantly being added to and refurbished, using plans going back a great many years. This was the first cornish works undertaken by Tim Smit of Eden Project fame.
Mevagissey - An old Cornish fishing port, a lovely place to view the sea, and get a whiff of fish in the air, very narrow roads, (does get congested, but is well worth the visit) and saviour cornish fish and chips, or for the more gourmetically minded, there are several really good fish restaurants. Also a model railway and an aquarium. Cliff walks are a must to blow away the stress of an upcountry lifestyle.
The Eden Project - world renowned domes, and a place not to be missed. Constantly changing and improving, most people go back time and time again.
St. Austell - old market town, is in actual fact larger than Truro (the capital of Cornwall), and is currently going complete regeneration.. a place to visit and view the changes over the coming years, as it creeps ahead at it's own Cornish pace.
Fowey - Once the haven of smugglers and larger tall ships, now one of the major china clay ports, offers beautiful views and many wonderful gift shops. In the area of Daphne Du Murier and mentioned in several of her books. Cruise ships have just started to call on this old port, and it hosts the Royal Fowey Yacht Club, great for those with a bigger boat!
