Highlights

Enfield Park has a great children's play area and one of many beautiful riverside walks in the area. There's a leisure centre with a pool, a library and a gallery. There's a packed annual programme of events including the Music in the Park in May, the Camelford Show in August and Carnival in October. The best chippy in Cornwall, Peckish Fish & Chips, is just a short walk round the corner from the farm. The Riverside Bistro has a weekly changing menu and is open for excellent breakfasts from 8am, lovely lunches and delicious dinners (times vary depending on season), or you can just pop in for a coffee and cake. Other places to eat include the Nepalese Ghurka for curry and the Chinese takeaway.

Shops

In town we have a brilliant butcher, Steve, who can sort you out with everything you need for a barbecue. The Post Office and Hardware Shop are famous for their excellent vegan and gluten free ranges as well as other local produce and ice cream. We have a Co-op supermarket up the hill, plus Boots pharmacy. Just five minutes up the road is Hilltop Farm shop and cafe with plenty more produce and treats.
