LOCATION Pill Creek opens onto the sheltered and safe northern waters of the Carrick Roads, which are the perfect learning ground for budding sailors along with being a fantastic environment for yacht and dinghy racing. The Carrick Roads are quite rightly regarded as some of the finest sailing waters in the United Kingdom with many creeks, inlets, beaches and waterside villages to explore. There are deep water moorings available at nearby Loe Beach and marina facilities available at Mylor and Falmouth, which are on the opposite side of the Carrick Roads to the exclusive waterside haven of St Mawes. Within day sailing distance is the historic Fowey River flanked by Fowey and Polruan and, to the west, is the Helford River with its National Trust countryside lined banks. The many sailing clubs around the Carrick Roads hold regattas 5 Ref: LCAA5986 throughout the season with Falmouth Week being the jewel in the calendar’s crown drawing in yachts from across the world. Although there are many creeks and rivers around the Cornish coastline, very few have such good deep water access or are as close to civilisation as this one. Pill Creek lies within the Parish of Feock, one of Cornwall’s most eagerly sought after addresses and is only around 4 miles from the Cathedral city of Truro. Truro has the widest range of facilities in Cornwall including supermarkets, excellent business opportunities, first class shopping, a wide range of highly regarded restaurants and bars, a cinema, a theatre and exceptional state and primary schooling. Truro is also an historic and active city with a mix of Georgian and Victorian properties lining its cobbled streets. There is a mainline railway station at Truro with direct links to London Paddington taking around 4½ hours, while road access is excellent to the A30 expressway which links to the motorway network at Exeter. Newquay Airport, at St Mawgan offers regular flights to both London and other internal and international destinations. 6 Ref: LCAA5986 7 Ref: LCAA5986 Not to scale – for identification purposes only. 8 Ref: LCAA5986 GENERAL INFORMATION VIEWING – Strictly by prior appointment through: Lillicrap Chilcott, Landrian House, 59-60 Lemon Street, Truro, Cornwall, TR1 2PE.
