LOCATION

Carthew Caddy is located in a convenient rural location almost equidistant from the nearby towns of Helston, Camborne, and Falmouth and close to the villages of Four Lanes and Portkellis which is a small rural village which has its origins in agriculture and mining and within the village is an 18th Century freehouse pub and a village hall. The Parish of Wendron is still agricultural in character with many smallholdings, villages and rural hamlets and not greatly altered in a century of passing time. The area is well known by walkers, birdwatchers and horse riders for its quiet roads and beautiful landscapes.

The nearby market town of Helston is exceptionally well served with a diverse range of local and national retailers along its historic streets. Within the town are a full range of schooling facilities, including a college, sports centre, supermarket and a local hospital. The port town of Falmouth is found a short drive to the east and offers an alternative shopping experience and access to some of the best sailing facilities in Cornwall.

Carthew Caddy is centrally located near to both the softer countryside surrounding the and Carrick Roads and also within easy striking distance of the south coast between the Lizard and Lands End peninsulas and also from the golden sand surfing beaches on the north coast stretching from St Ives Bay to Perranporth. There is a nearby mainline railway station at Redruth with direct trains to London taking about 4½ hours and the road network in the area is excellent. There is private schooling available at Truro which is less than ½ an hour’s drive away. From Helston take the B3279 towards Redruth proceed through the hamlet of Burras 4 Ref: LCAA7153
