Where we are…
Erth Barton sits on its own peninsula and is part of the Antony Estate, and its 2000 acres of land. This is the Forgotten Corner of Cornwall…

Erth Peninsula
Erth Peninsula lies on 300 acres of regenerative farmland, encircled by the River Lynher with views to Dartmoor lying to one side, and the village of St Germans on the other. This is unspoilt land, there are no public footpaths here, so we walk with care on the land.

Rame Peninsula & South West Coastal Path
Whitesand Bay (just a 20 minute drive), is located between Rame Head and Portwrinkle this is possibly one of the best stretches of beach in this part of Cornwall. Whitsand Bay consists of an expanse of sand approaching 4 miles in length towards low tide where several smaller coves and beaches join up. This stretch of the South West Coastal Path has something of a wild feel to it. Once past Rame Head you will come to the pretty villages of Cawsand and Kingsand are a must to visit.
-
Dartmoor
Less than a 30 minute drive from Erth, and you can be on vast landscapes of Dartmoor National Park. With its wide open moorlands & deep river valleys, with a rich history and rare wildlife. Dartmoor is unique place to visit during time at Erth.

Bodmin Moor
The largest section of the Cornwall AONB at nearly 200 square kilometres, Bodmin Moor is a expanse of grassland and heather punctuated by granite outcrops and strewn with boulders.
Evidence of many prehistoric settlements abounds. In marshy hollows rivers such as the Fowey rise and in hidden valleys ancient oak trees remain.
Most of the land lies at the comparatively low height of 200 metres, rising to 400 at Rough Tor and 420 metres at Brown Willy, the highest point. It is one of the warmest and wettest uplands in Britain though you might not think so in the snowy depths of winter.
