Trebarwith Seaview Campsite

For more views of that gorgeous seaside scenery, set off to Trebarwith Strand beach (five minutes’ drive), where you can hit the surf or embark on a hike along the South West Coast Path. The surf schools at Widemouth Bay (25 minutes’ drive) are handy for beginners, while the sands at Polzeath (20 minutes) are popular with families. Bossiney Cove (10 minutes) and Crackington Haven (15 minutes) might be good options for something less crowded – and you mustn’t miss a chance to cross the bridge to King Arthurs’ old haunt, Tintagel Castle (10 minutes). Pretty Port Isaac (15 minutes) and the waterfalls at St Nectan’s Glen (10 minutes) should be on the schedule too. Away from the coast, take walks on Bodmin Moor (20 minutes), looking out for ghosts as you go, or ride bikes along the traffic-free Camel Trail from Wadebridge (20 minutes). There’s a fishing lake a couple of minutes’ drive away too, and horse riding within five minutes – or you could try out the madcap fun at Giant Slip and Slide Cornwall (10 minutes).
