Over a mile of golden sand the beach is washed twice daily by the incoming tide. At low tide there are rock pools and rock formations. Look out for the beautiful pink rock pools lined with quartz and ideal for children to explore.

Trebarwith is a great surfing beach, there is a Surf School for absolute beginners or those wishing to improve their techniques. Situated on the cliffs overlooking the beach is the Port William pub and restaurant. A fantastic place to sit and watch the sun set over this lovely beach.

Going in the other direction you come to Bossiney Cove, again a tidal beach but very popular with visitors and locals alike. Further on you reach Boscastle with it's beautiful harbour, shops and valleys. Stop and have a drink at the Cobweb Inn, famous for it's local beer and food.

Local Places of Interest: The Old Post Office is situated in the centre of the village. It is one of the most famous buildings in Cornwall and is full of charm and interest. Built in the 14th century it was originally a Manor House and then in 1844 was converted into a letter receiving office for the district. It is now owned by the National Trust and is open to visitors.

Tintagel Castle, situated on the dramatic coastline, is an awe inspiring and romantic place of legends. Joined to the mainland by a narrow neck of land, Tintagel Island is the remains of the medieval castle associated with King Arthur. Newly built in 2019 a foot bridge connecting the island to the mainland was opened allowing easier access and offering amazing views along the coast. A magnificent feat of engineering.
The remains of the 13th century castle are breathtaking. Steep stone steps, rugged walls and windswept cliffs encircle was remains of the Great Hall. English Heritage now care for this wonderful monument.

Comfortable Cottage
This is a nice holiday property just a little bit tired looking . The only real problem we had was the road in front of the house. It was quite busy and noisy at times oh and the cockerel he could be very noisy as well.

What a lovely holiday!
We had a really great time in Tintagel. We arrived to a yummy cream tea and our host was welcoming and friendly. My father-in-law enjoyed chatting with her about her beautiful garden. The cottage had all we needed and was perfectly placed to walk into Tintagel. The area and scenery was beautiful. Highly recommend Tintagel Brewery Bistro, just 10 mins up the road for great food!
