Trewan Hall Camping Site

Trewan Hall is near the centre of Cornwall with easy access to the north coast beaches and within easy driving distance of most of Cornwall’s attractions. For a short stroll, head into the old market town of St Columb Major a mile away, where there’s a fifteenth century church, surf store, antique shop and fish and chip shops galore.

Sand fans will be in heaven in this part of Cornwall: the closest beach to Trewan Hall is Mawgan Porth four miles away and has surf shops and a surf school; the beach is dog-friendly all year round. Gorgeous Watergate Bay is ten minutes’ drive away, or head to the famous Seven Bays clustered around the village of St Merryn, which is a few miles from Padstow and within 15—20 minutes’ drive of the campsite.

Within ten miles of Trewan Hall there are three famous Cornwall spots to spend days at and not want to come home: Newquay, where you should wriggle into your wetsuit for some of the best surfing in the country (there are surf schools all over town and nearby for the uninitiated); Padstow for the Camel Trail and Camel Estuary Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty; and Wadebridge for more Camel Trailing, buzzing around the Portreath Bee Centre and sending the kids flying at the Crealy Great Adventure Park. Zip wires, biodomes and more can be had at the Eden Project around 15 miles from Trewan Hall.

Natch there’s sea fishing, river fishing and all sorts of slippery catches to be had all around north and south Cornwall including crabbing in the harbour at Padstow, rock fishing at Godrevy Point and beach fishing for plaice from Watergate Bay. There’s coarse fishing among the kingfishers at Mawgan Porth Pools Lake and fishing for salmon and trout on the River Camel for anglers who prefer to keep things fresher.

Not want to get your feet wet? You’ll also be close to hand from Trewan Hall to many top Cornwall attractions like Lanhydrock House and the Lost Gardens of Heligan, the tors and walks of Bodmin Moor and, to the south-west, tin-mining country and Helston’s Poldark Mine.
