Stunning coastal walks

  • Spectacular views over St Mawes and Falmouth bay
  • Five minutes’ drive to beach with: water-sports, kayak hire and more
  • Beautiful scenic woodland walks on our door step
If wind-swept coastal walks with your four-legged friend are your jam, pack your hiking boots (and the lead) and head to Trewen Farm Campsite, a peaceful spot where you can set up on a vast grassy area with spectacular views of the sea. Things feel blissfully remote here, but you’re only half a mile from the nearest village – Budock Water – so when you fancy a pint or you need to stock up on barbecue essentials, you don’t have far to go. For more restaurant options, head to lively Falmouth (10 minutes; or take the bus, which runs a regular service from Budock Water). Woodland trails cross the farm and link to a wider network of walks in the surrounding area, including the South West Coastal Path, which takes you past rugged cliffs and dramatic seascapes to lookouts like Stack Point (50 minutes on foot) and beaches like Swanpool (one hour on foot), a stretch of sand and shingle with kayak and paddleboard hire, plus a miniature golf course. There are also trails in Carwinion Woods (10 minutes), which is a riot of colourful wildflowers in the spring, and a circular walk along the shores of Argal Reservoir (15 minutes), where you might indulge in a spot of birdwatching or fishing (be sure to get a permit for this). If this is all too tame for you, get your adrenaline going at Via Ferrata Cornwall (15 minutes), with multiple routes up granite cliffs.

Powered grass and earth site

Liked: The view was lovely. The shower block was clean but very basic. The person on site was very friendly.

Disliked: The facilities were very poor. The field was rough. The water points difficult to negotiate with a water barrel and the Elsan was disgusting a possible health hazard.

Powered grass and earth site

Liked: Field is amazing and the view is breathtaking!
Facilities are being build/ refurbished. Toilets were quite clean. Showers not very pleasant; stone floor and walls, no space to seat; only wone hook available.
Laundry under construction but once all Refurbishments are complete I strongly believe this will become a must go in Falmouth.

Disliked: Not being aware that the Facilities were undergoing refurbishment/ under construction.

Powered grass and earth site

Liked: What a view, loved how close we were to wonderful walks, Falmouth town and beaches. The site was quiet which was great for my anxious dog! Everyone super friendly.
The toilet block was always clean and luxury toilet roll supplied. Bins emptied daily, warm showers with huge pan heads. Washing up area currently being extended.

Disliked: Nothing!
If I had to complain I'd say could do with somewhere off the ground to put clothes when showering and an extra sink as only one .

Unpowered grass and earth site

Liked: Pitch was provided with an excellent view of the Falmouth coast. With it being a Wednesday it was super quiet. Good recycling system.

Disliked: Both male and female showers did not work. Both were freezing - not acceptable. Should be a basic necessity of a ‘campsite’. Showers filled with spiders. No reply till early morning regarding cold showers. Toilet door locks didn’t work. Basic needs neglected. Do not come if you want to risk having no facilities

Local attractions

The National Maritime Museum Cornwall, overlooking the harbour in Falmouth, displays among other things a collection of small boats from all around the world – from dinghies and lifeboats, to outrigger canoes. Medieval jousts take place throughout the summer at Pendennis Castle, built by Henry VIII on a rocky headland. Green-fingered visitors make a beeline for splendid green hubs such as Trebah Garden and National Trust Glendurgan Garden (both 10 minutes’ drive). The latter spreads across three valleys and has a cherry laurel maze planted almost two centuries ago (1833). Trebah is renowned for its collections of rhododendrons and camellias. Thrill rides at Flambards Theme Park (25 minutes) include the vertiginous Skyraker drop tower, but there are also gentler, more child-friendly attractions, such as a traditional carousel and a miniature western mine train, plus indoor themed areas like the Victorian Village.
