ROSELAND PENINSULA

The Roseland Peninsula is an area of outstanding natural beauty and a much sought after residential area.  Tregony is often called the Gateway to the Roseland and is a flourishing local community.  There is a Village Store, Post Office, Gallery, Pub, primary and secondary schools and local churches.  It has an exceptionally wide main street, a relic from the days when this was a busy port on the river Fal.  A good website for information on the Roseland is http://www.cornwalls.co.uk/Roseland/
