Become part of a traditional village community

At Mabena Lea you can expect to take life at a more gentle pace. In this lovely rural setting, St. Mabyn is a traditional English village in every sense, from its chocolate box location to its friendly pub, the St. Mabyn Inn, local shop and Post Office. There are amenities such as St. George's Playing Fields, a village hall, a primary school, playgroup and good bus links in and around the area. You may even want to join in some of the social activities the village provides, as it boasts a garden club, a young farmers group and even a tug o' war team.

In St. Mabyn you can enjoy the simple pleasures of the open air - walking, cycling, riding, bird watching - especially as the 17 mile Camel Trail is within easy reach and winds its way along glorious coastline and wonderful countryside to Padstow.

Perhaps you fancy a dip in the sea or a spot of windsurfing, after all, you're less than 6 miles from the picturesque fishing village of Port Isaac with its delightful harbour, and 11 miles from the attractive seaside town of Padstow. In fact, watersports enthusiasts will have all the amenities of Rock within a few miles for all manner of activities, including parascending.

The town of Wadebridge on the River Camel is a mere 4 miles away and offers several golf courses, not to mention great shops, fantastic arts and crafts galleries, restaurants, a variety of sports and leisure facilities and a cinema. So you can enjoy the lifestyle of these premier locations whenever you choose, but from the peace and quiet of your own country home.

So many other atractions to life at Mabena Lea

When you decide to explore the surrounding area there's just so much to discover. Try Port Isaac with its narrow streets, sandy beaches and excellent seafood restaurants or Boscastle for its ancient harbour, pottery, fine bakery and gift shops. Wadebridge and Padstow both have a good deal to offer, and there's Bodmin with its steam railway and Pencarrow House and Gardens to visit, as well as the rugged landscape of Bodmin Moor itself promising an exciting family day out. Anyone interested in plants and the exotic will love a day spent at The Eden Project, The Lost Gardens of Heligan or the terraces of the Old Mill Herbary.

Cornwall has many ancient buildings and fabulous castles to explore including the magical Tintagel, home to King Arthur, and Restormel Castle, a splendid ruin once a stronghold of the Dukes of Cornwall. If you're heading farther afield the A30 is just 7 miles away for Exeter and Truro, and major British cities can also be reached from Newquay Airport 17 miles away. So whether you're the stay-at-home type looking for the quiet life, or something of a wanderer with itchy feet, putting down roots in a new Linden home at Mabena Lea will be the best thing you've ever done.
