Penrose Camp Site is situated just back from the Coast, you can see Mounts Bay in the distance. The photo on the right is taken from one of the fields at Penrose Farm showing the coastal path in the distance.


Loe Pool is the largest fresh water lake in Cornwall and you can walk down into the Penrose Estate and enjoy the walks and cycle paths. You will often find cattle grazing in front of Penrose House.

The Loe Bar is a great barrier of sand and flint, which has been formed over centuries by the winter gales and fierce under currents piling it up at the mouth of the Cober Estuary. The lake in the fore-ground is fresh water and forms the biggest stretch of natural fresh water in Cornwall.
