The Artist's Retreat is on a quiet private road 10 minutes walk from Calstock village. We are set in a very quiet part of the village. There are some lovely countryside walks straight from your door. Calstock village with its iconic viaduct makes for a lovely backdrop as your wander around the narrow little streets visiting art galleries, cafe, pubs and ice cream parlour. Lovely walks include a pretty level walk through the village to the old lime kilns, then up to the disused Okel Tor mine if you like. Then back down to the river following the bend past our newly created wetlands and bridge with lovely photogenic views of the viaduct. Or a walk down Lower Kelly beside the river, under the viaduct.
