Barley Fields Glamping

Barley Fields Glamping is nicely placed for expeditions to Cornwall’s spectacular coasts, with medieval Tintagel Castle, waterside Boscastle and Port Isaac fishing village all within an hour’s drive northwards. Turn south to feed turtles at the National Marine Aquarium and a date night in the restaurants of Plymouth (40 minutes’ drive), or pick a warm day and have a walk along the sand-and-shingle beach at Seaton (35 minutes). If you’re feeling brave, head for the zipwires and floating climbing course at Adrenalin Quarry (half an hour). If that’s a step too far in the activity stakes, Bodmin Moor (15 minutes) offers up historic treasures such as the Neolithic menhirs at Hurlers Stone Circles (20 minutes), fantastic views across the moor from the great granite slabs of The Cheesewring, and gentle forest walks up to the cascading Golitha Falls (both 25 minutes). Still on the moor, learn about local history with a spooky and all-immersive guided tour of Bodmin Jail Attraction (35 minutes), or head into the Tamar Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty to explore the Victorian watermill and former working quayside at National-Trust owned Cotehele (25 minutes).
