Ideal B&B for visiting the Eden Project

In case you still didn't know, the Eden Project is a large-scale environmental complex in Cornwall, UK situated in a reclaimed china clay pit, 3 miles from mid-Corwall town St Austell and 20 miles from unspoilt Roseland village Portscatho.

The complex comprises a number of domes that house plant species from around the world, with each emulating a natural biome. The domes are made out of hundreds of hexagons plus a few pentagons that interconnect the whole construction together; each of these is a transparent cushion made of tough plastic. The first dome emulates a tropical environment, the second a warm temperate, Mediterranean environment.

The project was conceived by Tim Smit and designed by the architect Nicholas Grimshaw and engineering firm Anthony Hunt and Associates the project took 2½ years to construct and opened to the public on 17 March 2001.

Portscatho is the perfect place to unwind after your days out visiting Cornwall's sights. Portscatho remains unspoilt because it is a little-known picturesque fishing village - a haven for artists with its stunning views of the harbour - and from the harbourside towards Porthcurnick beach and Gull Rock.

The peninsula has many quiet and secluded beaches, creeks, fishing villages, galleries, restaurants and of course the idyllic church and grounds of St Just in Roseland.
