The Arundell Arms is located amongst a wealth of historic and popular attractions and sights. Those listed below offer just a snapshot of all that is available. Our helpful staff can aid you in planning your day’s activities upon your arrival.

Located less than an hour from The Arundell Arms, in Cornwall, The Eden Project is a giant global garden built within a huge china clay pit the size of 35 football pitches. The crater is over 50 metres deep and totally hidden from view until you go through the Visitor Centre which is on the lip of the pit. The gardens are built within a series of breathtaking transparent Biomes and are completely self sustained. Each Biome is populated with plants grown from seed and cuttings and brought in from nurseries, research stations and Botanic Gardens all over the world.

Tintagel, North Cornwall, is well worth a visit if only to see the Old Post Office NT, a fourteenth century manor house with a topsy turvy slated roof, or to walk out to the ruins of the 12th century Castle, birthplace of so many Legends of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table. 15 miles away on Bodmin Moor is Dozmary Pool the last resting place of Excaliber, Merlins magical sword.

Exeter

Exeter is a small intimate city brimming with colourful character, and steeped in ancient history. Whilst it offers all the variety and facilities of a large cosmopolitan city, Exeter is surrounded by rolling acres of lush green Devon countryside, within less than 1 hours drive of The Arundell Arms. A visit to Exeter would be incomplete without seeing the magnificent 850 year old medieval Cathedral. One of the finest examples of decorated Gothic work in England today, it is famous for its West Front, Minstrel's Gallery and the longest unbroken stretch of Gothic Vaulting in the World.

Plymouth is the waterfront city that shaped the lives of Drake, the Pilgrim Fathers, Darwin, Cook and many more who set sail from her harbour. With its unique location between Dartmoor, the last great wilderness of Southern England, and the South Devon coast, Plymouth is the perfect place for venturing into the countryside or onto the water.

The coast from Hartland Point in Devon down to Bude in Cornwall has been called the "Iron Coast." It is indeed severe - a jumble of strata and jagged rocks; there is no land between you and America. It is best seen in Spring with the violets and delicate primroses contrasted with the severity of the coast. It is the finest place in England for coastal waterfalls.

Down round Land's End is the Granite Coast, a delight for climber and photographer. The granite forms itself into angular castellated blocks which are unique on the English coastline. See it in early summer with the sea pinks, a vivid carpet of pink and the sea beyond, a shade of azure blue.

The Tate St Ives opened in June 1993 and offers a unique introduction to modern art. Many works can be viewed in the surroundings and atmosphere which inspired them. Located near Porthmeor Beach, Tate St Ives has a spectacular coastal setting.
