Here at St. Eval we feel incredibly blessed to be surrounded by the wild and untamed beauty of the Cornish coast and countryside, a land brimming with natural beauty and captivating history.

In the second instalment of this blog series we're taking you on a whistle-stop tour of South Cornwall and all of the wonderful sights it holds.

Cornwall has long been a popular destination for free spirits and holiday makers alike, luring people in with its quirky traditions and picturesque scenery. We love sharing our passion for the county, and in this newest blog series we'll be sharing some of the popular spots and hidden gems to be found in our wonderful county.

Here at St. Eval, we’re seizing the summer season and celebrating Cornwall’s scents, sights and sounds. Blessed with an abundance of beautiful nature waiting to be explored, we’ve curated a quick list and top tips on how to embrace the best of Cornwall.

Nestled amidst the nature-adorned coast and countryside of North Cornwall, we at St. Eval feel incredibly blessed by the abundance of surrounding beauty. Inviting the light and natural life indoors, we take inspiration from the most wondrous elements of Cornwall and pay tribute to the wonderful wildlife which is our muse.

Welcome yourself into the world of Cornish folklore and become enticed by the magic of The Mousehole Cat as we celebrate the return of lighter and brighter spring days.

We are delighted to announce the launch of an exciting three-year partnership with Cornwall Wildlife Trust, beginning an incredible journey that we hope will lead to introducing beavers at Helman Tor nature reserve. 

Achieving our verified status as a B Corporation in August 2022 was an incredible milestone in our sustainability journey; a journey that has spanned nearly 30 years, since St. Eval was first founded. We are still maintaining the same traditional methods of candle making and finding inspiration in the stunning Cornish coast and countryside around us. With this beautiful source of inspiration right on our doorstep, we are constantly inspired and see it as our great duty and privilege to be able to go beyond, giving back to nature and protecting the world around us.

Last June we were delighted to unveil our brand new pond area, and wildlife haven here on our farm at St. Eval. Happy Habitats, a local Cornish company specialising in habitat management, worked with us to create a unique area full of specially selected species, and their exceptional knowledge and enthusiasm for the project blew us away. We sat down with Angie Cruse, one of Happy Habitat's directors, to learn more about her passion for the environment and the special work she did here at St. Eval.
