Proper Camping

Assemble your bikes, helmets and assorted cycling gear before setting off to Proper Camping – the site's within 10 minutes' drive of the cracking coastal and inland scenery that lines the Camel Trail, a car-free bike path that runs from Wadebridge in the north (15 minutes' drive) down to Bodmin in the middle of the moor (20 minutes). Surf's up at several locations along the north Cornwall coast, with Trebarwith Strand (10 minutes), Polzeath (20 minutes) and Newquay (35 minutes) high up on the bucket list of most board sport fans travelling through these parts. Other seaside locations like Port Isaac (15 minutes) and Tintagel (15 minutes) are renowned for their heritage and history – the former is a traditional fishing village with the architecture and harbour to prove it, while the latter is home to towering Tintagel Castle where the legendary King Arthur is said to have held his court. For something to keep the small sorts smiling, get locked up at Bodmin Jail (20 minutes), take a trip to see the animals at Newquay Zoo (35 minutes) or get them involved in go-karting, zipwires and other high-speed attractions at Adrenalin Quarry (50 minutes).
