Situation - The woodland sits in an easily accessible but secluded location near the south coast. The woods lie in an historic mining area with lots of footpaths and bridleways making for good walking country. One such example is only 0.1 of a mile up the road; the Prideaux Woods Walk. The woods are also only 1 mile away from the infamous Eden project, Cornwall's most popular attraction (2023).
Despite the privacy and peacefulness of the wood, it is conveniently close to St.Blazey; which caters for everyday needs with a range of shops and service stations. For a more extensive range of amenities, the historic mining town of St.Austell is only 4 miles away. The immensely popular Carlyon Beach, known for its festivals, Concerts and Performances is 3.5 miles distant.
Description - This attractive 4.66 acres of broadleaf woodland lends itself tremendously well to '60 day camping' and other amenity uses. One could pitch a tent by the stream or at the top clearing, overlooking the nearby lake and listen to the babbling brook or the birdsong. The woods comprise a range of mature deciduous trees including pretty rhododendron shrubs. There is a hardstanding track on which to pull in and park a vehicle, with space to turn around. Leading from this is a marked path going through the woodland and coming out by the other access that enables buyers to enjoy the full extent of the woodland. There is potential to cut further trails through the woodland whilst maintaining the privacy. There is also potential to erect a dog/child proof fence along the perimeter to improve security. Near the centre of the land is an old concrete outbuilding.
