More about this scene
The Market House was built of granite in 1839-40 for the sale of meat, poultry and butter, and the four carved ox heads above the pillars (left) are a notable feature of the street frontage.

The rear of the property has 200 acres of open forest and a little used extension of the Camel Trail that leads to Bodmin Moor one way and Padstow ...see more
When we used to have family holidays in Downderry year after year, we would visit Colliford Lake Park several times each holiday. It really was great fun there; the army jeep, the go cars, the play areas, the boats; there seemed to be 1001 things you could do at that place. A great place for a day out, imprinting powerful, wonderful memories.
