Tregragon Farm Camping

Once you’ve spent a bit of time at the local beaches, set off to explore some other stretches of coastline – perhaps taking a walk around Pentire Point, hitting the surf in Polzeath or mixing up history and scenery at Tintagel Castle (all about 15 minutes’ drive away). A little further away is Newquay (40 minutes), for another sandy surf beach and the excellent Newquay Zoo. For a change of scenery, stop by at some of Cornwall’s historic attractions, including 500-year-old Pencarrow House & Garden (20 minutes), the National Trust’s Lanhydrock estate (half an hour) or the rather less grand Bodmin Jail Attraction (25 minutes). If that’s not quite how the kids like to spend their days, head instead to family attractions like the puzzle trails, maze and railway of Hidden Valley Discovery Park or the many rides of Camel Creek Adventure Park (both 25 minutes).
