  • Dog-friendly Cornwall site just with views of Carn Brea Castle
  • A 25-minute drive from St. Ives Bay and St Agnes Head; trails nearby
  • Short walk from a train station, medieval restaurant, pubs and shops
At Carn View, you’ll be fully breaking into the Cornish countryside, courtesy of castle views, countryside trails and local Cornish mead. This dog-friendly site is on the outskirts of the small town of Redruth with views of Carn Brea Castle and the sea in the distance (the closest beach at Chapel Porth is 20 minutes’ drive away, or St. Ives Bay five minutes’ extra drive). It’s a 20-minute walk into Redruth town centre, where there’s a train station, bus stops, pubs, bars, takeaways, restaurants and perhaps the highlight of it all, a candlelit medieval-style mess hall with a whole load of Cornish mead flavours to try. The other way, Carn Marth (10 minutes’ walk) has an open-air amphitheatre with shows and a quarry where wild swimming is on the cards. The hill here has great views over Cornwall, so it’s easy to spend a bit of time admiring the scenery. On the site itself, you’ll be setting down in a field with grassy pitches and access to composting toilets, a shower and a water supply.
