Things to do

The North Cornish coast is a buzzing haven for thrill-seekers, watersports enthusiasts and the adventure seekers among your family. There is truly something for everybody whether that is riding waves to high-speed boat trips around the Camel Estuary.

Those looking for a quieter and more relaxed time will still find plenty to do with many local attractions from National trust sites and peaceful clifftop walks to local vineyard tours.

We have put together a handy guide detailing a few of our favourite day trips and activities to be enjoyed.
