The Manor of Landreyne was recorded in the Doomsday Book in 1086, as were four other farms in the parish of North Hill. Eastgate Barn is part of the old farm buildings at Landreyne, originally housing the granary with its waterwheel and corn mill, the hayloft, the shippon on the lower floor where the cows were milked, and the stables. The farming has now moved to a new site and the three splendid stone barns are now converted into dwellings.

Bodmin Moor, on the near horizon, is a patchwork of moor and heath, woodland and farms with many important historic and environmental sites. Footpaths cross the valley and climb gently to the hills, with wonderful views from the tors.
see the Bodmin Moor page

Gardens, historic houses, castles - there's much to see.
The links on our places to visit page will help you plan your holiday, with a brief guide to gardens and National Trust properties, including The Lost Gardens of Heligan, The Eden Project, Cotehele in the Tamar Valley and Lanhydrock near Bodmin. Details of distances are given on the location page >

The coast is within easy reach, 30-40 minutes drive to both the dramatic cliffs on the north coast and the softer scenery of the south coast, and the south west coast path.

For walking we have put together a collection of our own favourite walk routes, with instructions and maps. We walk these quite regularly and help to maintain the local footpath network. I also have some walk books and maps for you to borrow.
See the walking page >

Our walk guides cover a range of  distances, from
2 km to 20 km. Most of the routes start here at Eastgate, some begin a short drive away. All the walks give lovely views of the valley, the hills and, of course,  the higher you climb the further you will see. From the top of Kilmar Tor, which is about an hour's walk, we can see to both coasts, Dartmoor, and across the open moor to the highest tors of Roughtor and Brown Willy.

For climbing there are great little tors very near here on the eastern side of Bodmin Moor, also the Cheesewring quarry, see the climbing page >

For cycling in the area the lanes are quiet, but fairly hilly!
I have a selection of cycle guides for this part of Cornwall, including the well-known Camel Trail from Bodmin to Wadebridge and Padstow on the north coast (Bike hire available).
The Camel Trail details are on Sustrans website and the District Council website.
We have secure storage for your own bikes on the lower floor of Eastgate Barn.

Riding is available at local riding centres; details are provided in the Granary or contact me if you want to book in advance.

For running you may like come along to our local hash, Looe & Liskeard Hash House Harriers. We run on Monday evenings April through to the end of September, then on Sunday mornings. See our website www.l2h3.co.uk for details.
