"The collections are looking in good heart, both the old friends and the many new arrivals. We saw plenty of evidence that Caerhays will continue to be a force to be reckoned with for a long time to come and for that you deserve our encouragement and our congratulations."

3. Ignore turning for Indian Queens/ Newquay (onto A 392) stay on A 30.

4. TAKE left i.e. Southbound onto B 3275 signed Fraddon/Ladock/Grampound Road. This is just before (on right) Mac Donalds at Kingsley Village, Fraddon.

5. Do not turn left for B 3275 but turn right and head on to Grampound Road: this involves one earlier staggered cross roads (across the B 3058) which you go straight across.

7. Turn left for Grampound and St Austell (NOT right for Truro). After half a mile go up through the village of Grampound.

8. At the top of the hill up from Grampound turn right at the Celtic Cross signed to Tregony (but the sign is hard to spot) and carry on for 2 miles. The road becomes the B 3287

9. Ignore left to St Austell and carry on for 300 yards on the B3287. You will then see the first sign directing you left to Caerhays. Do not go on to Tregony on the B3287

10. Very shortly there is a right fork signed to Caerhays and carry on for 2 miles. Do not take the left fork signed Polmassick and St Ewe.

11. As you near Caerhays Village there is a sharp bend with turnings to Mevagissey (left), St Mawes (right) and Portholland (right). Carry on without turning right or left.

12. Caerhays Village is now a mile away. Just beyond the village there are castellated lodge gates. Visitors for the house and gardens should follow the signs. Other visitors proceed 1 mile down the main drive to the Castle.
