Mithian is surrounded by delightful countryside with numerous lovely walks. The nearest cove is a 35 minute walk through peaceful little Jericho Valley. There are riding stables in the vicinity and a golf driving range: the golf course on the cliffs at Perranporth is only 5 miles distant.
Many and varied stretches of the spectacular southwest coastal path are accessible, from the high cliffs of the North Coast to the Lizard, Land's End and the Roseland Peninsula and the creeks of Carrick Roads and the Helford Passage. Nearby St Agnes offers the renowned surfing beaches of Trevaunance Cove and Chapel Porth.
Truro is just 7 miles with its many shops, restaurants and theatre. The towns and art galleries of St Ives and Penzance are a short drive away as are Falmouth's Maritime Museum and the Eden Project. Many historic houses and gardens are easily accessible.
Walkers can enjoy the coastal paths or spend a day walking the old Tramway from Portreath to Devoran taking in Cornwall's industrial heritage en route, as featured on the BBC's Railway Walks programme.
