It is a location which is deemed both as a SSSI (Site of Special Scientific Interest) and AONB (Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty).

Towards the mount of Restronguet Creek are deep water moorings and there are further facilities available at Loe Beach (within 1 mile), Mylor (approximately 5 miles by road and 1 mile by water) and Falmouth. Any keen yachtsman will know that the sailing waters around Falmouth Bay and along the south Cornish coastline are some of the best in northern Europe with both Fowey and Helford Rivers within day sailing distance, although there are many nearer inlets, creeks and harbours to explore. A short row across the creek take you to the famous thatched Pandora Inn which has for centuries welcomed marinas with its quayside dining and remains highly regarded to this day. Ideally positioned between the cathedral city of Truro and the famous port of Falmouth (approximately 4 miles and 7 miles respectively), Trolver Croft is situated perfectly to take advantage of two best served towns in Cornwall. The city of Truro is the main commercial, administrative, legal and retailing centre and offers private and state schooling facilities at both primary and secondary levels. There is a mainline rail link to London Paddington (travel time approximately 4½ hours) and nearby Newquay Airport provides daily flights to London Gatwick along with many other internal and international destinations. There are several nearby 18-hole golf courses, the nearest being the picturesque Killiow Country Estate with other courses at Truro and Falmouth. All of these factors combine to create one of the most convenient yet outstandingly beautiful locations in Cornwall.
