  • Peaceful Cornish pop-up site 20 minutes’ drive from Launceston
  • Tintagel Castle and Widemouth Bay surfing beach both 25 minutes’ drive
  • Open-air shower and free-range eggs; pubs within 10 minutes’ drive
When you’re Cornwall bound and wanting to dodge the coastal crowds, think clever and book your stay at Tregonger Dawn, a pop-up site on a rural property surrounded by lush valleys and woodland 20 minutes’ drive from Launceston. Here you’ll wake up and hear only the song of birds, or the snuffling of horses as they graze happily in neighbouring fields. Step back from the rat race, drink coffee with your loved ones as the sun rises over the hills, take leisurely strolls through open fields – dogs are welcome to accompany you too by the way – and whizz up to Cornish north-coast beaches (20 minutes’ drive) for a spot of rock pooling or splashing around with the kids. In the evening, cook under the stars, which put on quite a display on cloudless nights. Eggs from the farm’s free-range hens await you in the morning, and you can rouse yourself for an early start under the outdoor shower on the periphery of the camping meadow (next to the toilet shacks). If you fancy a night out, there are a couple of good pubs within 10 minutes’ drive, and if you’ve left anything critical behind at home, you can probably replace it at the supermarkets in Launceston.

Local attractions

It’s all too easy to fall under the spell of gorgeous Cornwall when you spend the day visiting magical Tintagel Castle (25 minutes’ drive), once a medieval powerhouse and soaked in Arthurian legend, photographing the cute-as-a picture narrow inlet at Boscastle Harbour (20 minutes) and walking up to Golitha Falls (half an hour) though moss-and-lichen covered woodland. There are more testing Bodmin Moor hikes up to the giant slabs of stone at Rough Tor (40 minutes) or the cairn at Brown Willy (35 minutes), the highest point in Cornwall. If you hit a day when the weather doesn’t play nice, you can spend time undercover in giant biospheres full of sculptures and rare plants at the Eden Project (45 minutes). When all the kids want to do is paddle in the sea, head for Trebarwith Beach (20 minutes) where you can also go rock pooling, or photogenic Bossiney Cove (25 minutes), something of a local secret approached by a natural tunnel through the cliffs. When conditions are right, Widemouth Bay (also 25 minutes) is a popular destination for surfers.
