Our North Cornwall holidays cover over 140 miles of coastline from Westward Ho! to St Ives, taking you through charming fishing villages with cobbled streets, ancient woodlands, rocky headlands, remote landscapes, and golden surf-washed beaches.

You’ll enjoy overnight stays in the popular towns such as Tintagel, Port Isaac, Padstow and of course St Ives itself. Along the way, you’ll discover many historical sites, as well as museums telling the story of North Cornwall’s hidden past. Key highlights along this stunning stretch of coast include Tintagel Castle, the mythical birthplace of the legendary King Arthur. There are a number of Iron Age forts which are of huge interest too. Also on display are abandoned engine houses, relics of a once prosperous tin mining industry.

The first half of the North Cornwall coast features some the wildest and remotest areas on the whole of the South West Coast Path. As a result, the walking can be challenging at times. Be prepared for numerous daily ascents and descents. The second half introduces Cornwall’s famous surfer beaches, adding a lively contrast to the rugged terrain.

This dramatic landscape features magnificent waterfalls crashing from clifftops onto rocky beaches below. Wildlife sightings are common, with grey seals often spotted along the coast. Birdwatchers will be delighted by stonechats, linnets, and meadow pipits, as well as peregrine falcons, buzzards, and kestrels. The colourful flora, including cornflowers, sea pinks, and kidney vetch, enhances your journey through this awe-inspiring coastline.
