Penrose Holiday Park

Penrose Holiday Park is fably placed to reach pretty much anywhere in Cornwall within half an hour's drive, whether you fancy theme parks like Flambards or the Crealy Great Adventure Park, Cornwall's spectacular gardens, its historic houses and its heritage of tin and china clay mining. And of course there are many, many beaches… Within a few miles are two small urban areas high up on the 'Cornwall is well gorgeous' list: the town of Perranporth two miles away, with a three-mile-long surf-friendly sandy beach, and the village of Crantock three miles away, with thatched cottages, another beach and the Gannel estuary. Busier – and yet more surfier – times are in Newquay five miles away, along with several surf schools; for shopping, nightlife and a museum, theatre and cinema, take yourself to Truro, 10 miles away. If Cornish cantering is a holiday thing too, riding stables a few miles from the site do treks for equine enthusiasts from beginners to experienced riders. Surfboard hire, lessons, paddleboard coaching and jetski hire are all easy to access in the area too, and a karting circuit is nearby.
