A Cornwall vineyard has been named as one of the best in the country, according to new research.

Holiday letting company, holidaycottages.co.uk, has been scoping vineyards up and down the country in an attempt to reveal six of the very best in Britain.

Fighting off stuff competition from up and down the country, Cornish vineyard Camel Valley has been named as the second best in the country according to holidaycottages.co.uk.

Situated on Cornwall’s famous Camel Trail, Camel Valley near Bodmin is the only vineyard in the UK to hold a Royal Warrant.

The vineyard produces sparkling, rose and white wines, with the Cornish climate apparently being ideal for viticulture.

Camel Valley is the region’s largest vineyard spanning 82 acres.

Not only does the vineyard offer visitors the chance to taste some of its produce, but it is also situated in an ideal location for a summer walk along the Camel Trail.
