Lower Marsh Farm is situated on the outskirts of the small village of Landulph, right on the shores of the River Tamar that runs down the border of Devon and Cornwall.

The Farm strikes the perfect balance of being in the depths of the Cornish countryside whilst being easy to reach by our excellent rail and road connections.

After half a mile you reach a T-junction, turn right and follow the road to Landulph village which is about 2 miles – keep going straight (please drive slowly through the village). After leaving the village (road is marked as a dead end and there is a sign for Lower Marsh Farm with an arrow pointing slightly right up the road), you will go past Landulph Church on your left and at the bottom of the hill a yellow cottage will be straight in front of you.
