The Innis Inn

Staying within a mile’s walk of the Eden Project is certainly a treat – as is staying on the Innis Inn Campsite. It is a family-run and dog-friendly site surrounded by 15 acres of fishing lakes. A daily visit to the local pubs is also within the realms of reason – and that’ll surely involve Cornish cream teas, beers gardens and Sunday carveries… Innis Inn and Campsite is set on two and a half acres of land a few miles from the capital of the Cornish Alps, St Austell. If you want to chill out close to base, there are fifteen acres of fishing lakes surrounding the campsite to make your way around, a play area and plenty of runaround room for mini inners. The facilities on site include toilets, showers and a disabled toilet. For essentials off site, it’s a fifteen-minute walk to the local village of Penwithick which has a Spar, post office and fish and chip shop; bikes can be hired on site for those who prefer to pedal. Innis Inn and Campsite is well-placed to see stunning Cornwall, with hundreds of miles’ worth of hike and bike paths in the surrounding countryside, seaside towns and villages, family days out and heritage highlights including old houses, clay pits and tin mines. St Austell has a Clay Trail starting from Tremana Gardens and running along the Bodmin Road to connect with the Wheal Martyn China Clay Country Park, a 26-acre park with woodland walks, adventure playground and the biggest working waterwheel in Cornwall. (Stick around Snozzle for a bit to also browse around Cornish World, which has an award-winning play centre, Kidzworld, and the biggest indoor market in the south-west.)
