The location 

Lerryn sits in a wonderfully peaceful corner of south Cornwall, tucked along a tidal creek that winds its way towards the River Fowey. The village is one of few coastal Cornish villages to still boast a pub, shop, school along with a thriving community hall and various societies. Its setting (an AONB) feels timeless: wooded banks, stepping‑stones and a gentle sense of seclusion that’s increasingly rare. Yet this quiet village remains perfectly placed for exploring the wider area, with the historic stannary town of Lostwithiel just a short drive away, offering independent shops, antiques and a warm community atmosphere.

To the south, the coastline opens out into some of Cornwall’s most celebrated scenery. Lantic Bay, with its stunningly secluded beach and dramatic turquoise water, lies within easy reach and rewards those who enjoy a bracing walk. Talland Bay, equally charming but more intimate in scale, offers sheltered coves, clear swimming and a slower pace that suits long, lazy days by the sea.

For those drawn to life on the water, the nearby harbour towns provide endless appeal. Polruan, perched at the mouth of the estuary, offers rugged coastal paths and a traditional Cornish feel, while just across the water, Fowey delivers a vibrant mix of sailing, cafés and boutique shops. Together, they create a rich tapestry of coastal living, all comfortably accessible from the tranquillity of Lerryn.
