Pubs to visit in Cornwall

Obviously this does not cover all the pubs in Cornwall, but I hope that it gives you a selection to visit in the course of your travels. It is useful to have a few pubs in mind if you want to plan a day out, with somewhere to stop for lunch. I am happy to incorporate other pubs onto this list if anyone comes across any really nice ones.

Chapel Amble near Wadebridge

• Maltsters Arms
• Atmospheric flagstoned bar, complete with large fireplace, stones walls and bench seats

Constantine, between Helston & Falmouth

• Trengilly Wartha Inn
• About a mile south of the village (follow the signs) you will find the inn in a beautiful wooded valley. In the summer it is best to sit outside on the vine covered terrace or at a table in the garden

Crantock, Newquay

• Old Albion
• If you walk over to Crantock from us, you will find the Old Albion right by the gates of the village church. A charming old building, full of character and smugglers tales. Enjoy a drink and walk back before the tide comes in!

Egloshayle near Wadebridge

• Earl of St Vincent
• Hidden away down narrow lanes. Well restored with heavy beams, wood panels and an amazing collection of clocks (all working) Award winning gardens.

Helford, near Helston

• Shipwright's Arms
• you get there along a very narrow road, but when you get there it is a striking position on the bank of the Helford estuary. Popular with yachtsmen, who can tie up nearby, and the nautical theme is continued inside.

Mithian, near St Agnes

• Miners Arms
• Built in 1577, unspoilt and typically Cornish, complete with low ceilings, wobbly walls, and a secret passage to the manor house across the road.

Mylor Bridge, near Falmouth

• Pandora Inn
• A wonderful thatched 13th century building, one of Cornwall's best known pubs (therefore crowded in the season!). Friendly, with low beams and nautical instruments for decor. Yachtsmen can moor up to the long pontoon outside.

Padstow

• Old Custom House
• Obviously began life as a Revenue base right on the harbour at Padstow. Now owned by the St Austell Brewery. You can sit and watch the boats come and go in the harbour, or the throng of tourists on the streets of Padstow.

Penelewey near Truro

• Punch Bowl & Ladle
• Rambling 15th century thatched inn, with rose covered walls. Cosy & chintzy inside

Philleigh, near Truro

• Roseland Inn
• Two miles from the King Harry ferry. Delightful rose covered 17th century , cob cottage with outside courtyard. Traditional low beamed rooms.

Port Gaverne, near Port Isaac

• Port Gaverne
• Only a few yards from the sea in this sheltered cove that used to ship ore, but is now only a small collection of houses. Two cosy bars, and you can take a walk along the shore after a drink

Porthleven, near Helston

• Ship
• An old fisherman's pub that has a great position right on the harbour wall, and set into the cliff. You get views over the harbour and out to sea, or climb the terraced gardens to get the full vista.
