Country To Coast Camping

Tintagel is, of course, most well known for its castle, which has associations with King Arthur and a stunning setting on a little island. A 10-minute drive gets you there from the site to cross the new bridge and make your way to Merlin’s Cave. For more magic and myth, head also to The Museum of Witchcraft and Magic (10 minutes’ drive) or the cool waters of St Nectans Glen (15 minutes), said to be home to a host of fairies. And that’s just a couple of spots on the coast… you may also like to hit the sands at Trebarwith Strand (five minutes), try your surf skills at Polzeath beach (20 minutes) or stop by in Port Isaac (15 minutes) to wander around a classic Cornish fishing village. Other options? Well, you head to Bodmin Moor for a walk up Brown Willy (25 minutes), the highest point in Cornwall, see the planes at Davidstow Airfield and Cornwall at War Museum (10 minutes), try coasteering and climbing (15 minutes) or explore the themed biomes of the Eden Project (40 minutes).
