Visiting towns and villages in North Cornwall

Exploring the local area you will find some lovely towns and villages. Dotted along the coastline we have many pretty fishing ports that offer delightful places to eat and enjoy freshly caught fish. As you drive along the coastal roads, each cove you come across will inspire you with stunning views and beautiful inlets.

Bude

Bude is situated on the Atlantic Heritage Coast of Cornwall, adjacent to fine sandy beaches and on the South West Coastal Path. It is a small seaside resort town in North Cornwall, at the mouth of the River Neet that has been welcoming visitors since Victorian times. It is friendly and unspoilt with a lovely, laid-back atmosphere. More about Bude

Crackington Haven

In 2009, the Crackington Haven beach was recommended by the Marine Conservation Society in its Good Beach Guide. At high tide, the beach is a mass of quartz-veined pebbles and large boulders but at low tide, it reveals an expanse of sand and many rock pools. With its two beachside cafes and pub, selling everything you need to enjoy a day at the seaside and fantastic locally-sourced food, it is possible to spend your whole holiday without ever having to leave.

Boscastle

Boscastle village lies on the North Cornish Coast in a conservation area that enjoys some of the most beautiful countryside within the British Isles. It is one of the few remaining unspoilt harbour villages in Cornwall – a tiny port with a natural harbour set in a ravine, boasting some very attractive thatches and white-washed cottages. It offers a great day out in Cornwall, with excellent facilities, a historic harbour, parking, public toilets, shops, cafes, pubs, restaurants, stunning scenery and breathtaking views.

Tintagel

The mention of Tintagel conjures up a host of images - wild Cornish cliffs and rugged shores, mysterious ruins clinging to a wind-swept island, gift shops, tea rooms and all things 'Arthurian'. With an atmosphere like no other place, Tintagel has attracted poets, artists, historians and sightseers since the Victorian Era. More about Tintagel

Port Isaac

Port Isaac has been an attractive fishing village since the early fourteenth century and its narrow winding streets are lined with old white washed cottages and traditional slate-fronted Cornish houses. Port Isaac is still a working harbour today and fishermen ply their trade, harvesting the seas in all weathers as their predecessors did before them. Crab and Lobster are now the main catch although at the fish cellars in the harbour, many varieties of fish are on sale and are served in the port’s fantastic restaurants and eateries.

Padstow

Padstow is situated on the West side of the Camel estuary in North Cornwall. It is an area of outstanding natural beauty with wonderful bays and beautiful golden beaches. The town itself has a colourful and ancient history and slate hung houses crowd narrow streets leading to a picturesque harbour. Padstow remains a working fishing port whose produce has been made famous by Rick Stein's television series and acclaimed Seafood Restaurant. More about Padstow
