3 SITUATION Blessed with miles of unspoilt coastline, Cornwall is renowned for its variety of land and seascapes. From the wilder beaches of the north coast, ever popular with surfers, to the calmer sailing waters of the south-coast creeks and estuaries, there is an activity to suit all. Ambleside Manor adjoins farmland close to the rural hamlet of Whitecross, a short drive from the spectacular north Cornish coast. Nestled on the side of an unspoilt rural valley and protected from the prevailing south westerly winds, Ambleside is conveniently situated for the north coast surfing beaches, Cornwall Airport and the main A30 carriageway. The main trainline between Paddington to Penzance stops at Truro which is the Cathedral City of Cornwall with good shopping and selection of private schools. Long famed for its world-class surfing, the nearby north Cornish coast between Mawgan Porth and St Agnes is now home to a host of acclaimed restaurants Jamie Oliver s Fifteen at Watergate Bay, the Michelin-starred Fish House at Fistral and of course the Scarlet Hotel at Mawgan Porth, which have added a touch of north coast, surf inspired chic, perhaps more akin to that of Australia and California. Further to the north, the quaint fishing village of Padstow provides an excellent range of good pubs and restaurants including Rick Stein s seafood restaurant and Nathan Outlaw s two Michelin starred restaurant at Port Isaac. Connections are excellent from Newquay. The nearby A30 dual carriageway gives convenient access to the M5 motorway at Exeter. Cornwal (Newquay) Airport is just 6.8 miles away with three flights daily each way to London Gatwick besides other seasonal destinations. The London Paddington Train also has a sleeper service.
