About Bert Large's Chair

You'll find a giant wooden chair planted in a field near Trelights, and yes, it's exactly as odd as it sounds. This is Bert Large's Chair - a proper roadside oddity that's become something of a local talking point in rural Cornwall. The chair itself is a substantial piece of work, clearly built to be noticed, and it marks a spot that'll take you maybe ten minutes to walk around, photograph, and move on. Worth stopping for if you're driving through the area, less worth the dedicated trip unless you're genuinely into quirky Cornish landmarks. The nearest town of Trelights is tiny, so this sits more as a curiosity than a main attraction. Families with young kids might find the sheer weirdness of a giant chair in a field entertaining for five minutes. History buffs and serious walkers will likely skip it. Exactly the kind of thing that works as a photograph for Instagram, then you're back in the car. If you're staying at one of the nearby parks - St Minver Holiday Park is just over three miles away, while Rosebud Farm Touring Park and Porthilly Beach Holiday Park bookend the area - this could be a amusing detour on a rainy afternoon when you're exploring local roads rather than planning anything serious. Free to look at from the roadside, naturally. Go in late afternoon for better light on the photos. It's the sort of stop that takes two minutes but somehow stays in your head.
