The area is great for walkers with spectacular coastline, wooded valleys and rolling farmland. The coastal path can easily be accessed from Crackington Haven Beach or Boscastle. In the cottage you will find a large range of walking books and maps to help you plan your days out. If beach life is your thing, you’ll be spoilt for choice in North Cornwall.

There are many pretty coves and inlets to discover within a short drive of the cottage. Boscastle, with historical connections to Thomas Hardy, and the stunning Tintagel, inextricably linked to the legend of King Arthur, are nearby places to explore. Dr Martin fans might like to visit the villages of Port Isaac and Port Gaverne, film locations for the fictional Port Wenn. Further afield the pretty fishing port of Padstow, famous for its Rick Stein restaurant, is a must, and for Poldark enthusiasts, you can soak up the atmosphere of ’Nampara Cove’ at Porthcothan and enjoy the windswept beach and crashing waves of ’Waleggans beach’ at Hollywell Bay.
