Atlantic Coast Holiday Park

Some spectacular coastal walks are nearby, including the two-mile hike to Godrevy Lighthouse or the six miles from Hayle to St Ives, following part of the ancient St Michael’s Way pilgrim route to Marazion on the way to the Cathedral of St James in Santiago de Compostela in north-west Spain. Golf and horse riding are both available within four miles, and sea kayaking, paddleboarding and coasteering from St Ives within five. Take a day in St Ives town too, for its famed Tates St Ives gallery and the Barbara Hepworth Museum, before an evening in one of the restaurants to try the freshly-landed local fish. For family days, Paradise Park, the award-winning wildlife sanctuary with over 650 tropical animals and birds, a farm and an indoor play centre, is about four miles away at Hayle. Within 15 miles is the Flambards Experience near Helston; head back south the next day for a look around Falmouth and a boat trip along the Fal. Another tiptop option is St Michael's Mount, the rocky tidal island just off the coast from Marazion: take a boat over or wander across to the isle at low tide.
