  • Relaxed farm site half a mile from the South West Coast Path
  • A 10-minute drive from Boscastle and 20 minutes from Tintagel Castle
  • Stunning views and a two-acre dog walk on site
If you're striding out on the South West Coast Path (and if you're staying in Cornwall or Devon you absolutely must), you might like to try an especially handsome section to tackle, the four-mile hike from Boscastle to kingly Arthur's old castle of Tintagel: it's utterly majestic. How timely, then, that the path and the route to Boscastle is a mere half-mile from Lower Pennycrocker Farm, in a coastal location most convenient for this traipse and other top-notch Cornwall attractions. (For example, it's a few minutes' drive from cracking surf at Crackington Haven and seven miles from much more of the foamy same at Bude.) The views in this part of the world – from both the site and the cliffs on its doorstep – are fit for a king, which is probably why the vicinity's been crowned as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty… Bodmin Moor is about seven miles away and if it's urbanity you're after, Boscastle is two and a half miles away and Wadebridge and Port Isaac within 30 to 40 minutes' drive respectively. All is royally relaxed on this laidback farm, with hot showers and spankingly clean amenities all round. A farm shop is about five minutes away by car… or you could wander down to it via the coastal path. Dogs are allowed at Lower Pennycrocker, but please keep them on leads and exercise them away from the farm. Handily, there is also a two-acre dog walk on site.

What customers say

Fantastic views & chill vibe. Clean facilities, especially the hot showers. Colin's a top bloke – friendly & helpful. Spacious pitches, great coastal walks nearby. Can be breezy, but most loved it and want to come back.

Electric grass pitch

Liked Location, Site and pitches. Clean toilet and shower facilities and well stocked and maintained throughout the day. Superb scenery and walking distance to Boscastle via road or coastal path which we did on a hot date and I'm over 60. You can walk a short way and you can get on a bus No95 which travels to and from Bude - Wadebridge. So you could look around Boscastle and continue on a later bus to Tintagel.
The site has plenty of room and pitches are not restricted however if you have EHU there will be limitations obviously. There isn't much onsite for kids so do bring stuff for their entertainment. But a real peaceful site. We live an hour and twenty minutes away and have already booked another stay in the not too distant future.

Disliked Nothing very happy.

Local attractions

Start off on that South West Coast Path near Lower Pennycrocker Farm: you'll be on the path within half a mile of base and the Boscastle to Tintagel Castle leg starts two and a half miles from there, passing splendidly named landmarks like Firebeacon Hill, Rocky Valley and Barras Nose. The nearest beach to the farm is Crackington Haven, less than three miles away, around a coastal village with a shop, two small cafés and a pub. The beach is lifeguarded in summer, as are the ones at Bude, a 20-minute drive away; both are sublimely good surfing spots and popular with families. Never tried it? Enrol in a surf school at Bude or several other beach locations within a short drive to find out more. If you're wandering just to Boscastle or stopping off there on the way to Arthurland, make time for a captivating afternoon in the Museum of Witchcraft and Magic, apparently 'held in high esteem by the British occult community' (hurrah). A visit to the pottery shop and a picnic overlooking Boscastle's harbour should very much be on the cards too. Other options in the area include tackling the golf course at nearby Camelford (other decent courses are at Bude and Launceston), or a meander around Bodmin Moor: see if you can spy the famous beast.
