The area is highly regarded as being semi rural yet very easy to get to the surrounding villages and towns. There are more village facilities nearby in Perranwell, Carnon Downs and Carharrack and the Bissoe Trail offers the opportunity to cycle, walk or run to Devoran one way and Portreath on the North coast the other way. Mountain bikers love The Poldice Valley where the historic former tin mining landscape provides numerous trails. Sailing and kayaking enthusiasts can access Restronguet Creek from Devoran and Point. Fernsplatt is ideally located for access to Truro, Falmouth and Redruth.
