Cligga Cliff Farm

The main attraction at this park is the excellent access to coastal walks and cycle routes right from the grounds. Wander down to Perranporth beach, a fab family-friendly stretch of sand 10 minutes’ stroll away, to try a bit of surfing and kayaking or just settle in on a towel and watch the kids play. If you’re up for a longer lope, potter two miles to the Perran Round Iron Age fort or saunter to St Agnes (four miles away) for a cracking cove and more chances to ride waves. The surfing hub of Newquay is also nearby (15 minutes' drive) and has a zoo to zoom around as well. Other major Cornish attractions including the Eden Project, with its futuristic biodomes filled with botanicals, and the Tate St Ives contemporary art museum, are within a 40-minute drive. Take a trip to Truro (20 minutes), the capital of the county, as well to admire the cathedral. More ace architecture is sprinkled throughout the region, including the National Trust’s Trelissick Garden (25 minutes), the pretty Prideaux Place (40 minutes) and the John Nash-designed Caerhays Castle.
