Shopping

If you are looking for somewhere to shop you won't be disappointed in Cornwall. St.Agnes has a good selection of craft shops, galleries and workshops. The St.Agnes 'Craft Trail' can be followed from the Driftwood spars by foot. A free map available from the Driftwood will show you the location of several art galleries, pottery and ceramics studio, and art and design workshops around the village. Painting, Pottery, Designer clothing, Furniture, Ceramics, Stained glass, Jewellery, Metal works and Papermaking are among the items offered by local crafts people.

Truro is only a fifteen minute drive away from St.Agnes with regular buses running all day. If you want to travel a little further the town of Newquay is only a few miles along the coast where you can find plenty of clothes/surf shops and of course fantastic surfing beaches. There's also plenty going on in the evenings if you want to stay on a bit longer.

If you travel south you'll find Falmouth, Penzance and St.Ives, which all have something to offer. Falmouth, as well as being easily accessible by car, can be reached by boat trip from Truro during the summer making an enjoyable day out for all the family.

And if your are after something a bit quieter then you'll be spoiled for choice with a massive choice of small villages in the local area to explore, either by Car, Bus or Bicycle.
