Kernow Camping Pods

If you’re into riding the waves, then strap your board to your roofrack and make for any one of a dozen surfie hotspots around the coast: Hayle is the nearest, 10 minutes’ drive away, but aficionados may have a preference for Carbis Bay or Sennen Cove, 15 minutes and half an hour away respectively. If you prefer to experience the Atlantic from the dry interior of a boat, St Ives (15 minutes) is the place for sea fishing trips and boat excursions. It’s also brimming with shops and eateries, and it's got an arty buzz thanks to the Tate Gallery and the Barbara Hepworth Museum. If you’re after other kinds of history, it’s a half-hour drive to explore the subterranean stories of Geevor Tin Mine, and the Iron Age ruins of Maen Castle. It’s also about half an hour to Land’s End, where you can snap the obligatory selfie and send a postcard. The 630-mile South West Coast Path passes right through the famed final point; you can also access this fab walking route 10 minutes from the site. You can of course go even bit further westwards should you wish – it’s a 15-minute drive to Penzance for boats out to the Scilly Isles.
