Newquay, a mecca for water sport enthusiasts, has over twelve beaches with swathes of golden sand, coves, inlets and at low tides rock pools too! The hugely popular Fistral and Watergate Bay beaches are known for their excellent waves rolling in from the vast Atlantic Ocean. Animal lovers will enjoy Newquay Zoo and the all-weather Blue Reef Aquarium, directly on the seafront. The town also has many historical areas, wonderful gardens, breath taking coastal walks and stunning scenery.
Venture outside of town and you are in a most beautiful part of Cornwall. Thriving Padstow, with its celebrity inspired restaurant and a lovely harbour, where you can spend an hour or two watching the world go by. There are narrow streets, with galleries, cafés and boutique shops too. A short distance from Padstow lies Port Isaac, the ‘home’ of Doc Martin, whilst inland the mysterious and atmospheric Bodmin Moor is a walkers’ paradise. From the town here you can take a step back in time on the heritage steam railway or visit the chilling Bodmin Jail Experience. For cyclists, follow the 18-mile Camel trail through wondrous scenery all the way to Padstow, stopping off perhaps at the ancient town of Wadebridge with its many pubs and restaurants.
Please note that this property does not have access to the leisure facilities but patrons my use the café, pub and the tean den. There are water parks nearby such as Oasis Fun Pools which is very reasonable. Beach 6 miles.
With its sweeping beaches, rugged moorlands, hidden woodlands, and rolling countryside estates, Cornwall is a superb destination if you want to spend some time bird watching on holiday.
One of the best spots is Hayle Estuary Nature Reserve, managed by the RSPB. This rich wetland habitat attracts a variety of birdlife, including teals, wigeons, and goosanders. While winter offers the highest numbers, spring and early summer also bring migrant waders such as oystercatchers, dunlins, and whimbrels to the tidal pools and marshes.
Marazion Marsh, also managed by the RSPB and overlooking the iconic St Michael’s Mount near Penzance, boasts Cornwall’s largest reedbed. It’s a haven for species like chiffchaffs, Cetti’s warblers, little egrets, and grey herons. Bitterns are regularly recorded here, and birds of prey, including sparrowhawks and buzzards, are often spotted too.
For a variety of songbirds and raptors, head to the Rame Peninsula near Cawsand. This beautiful area of tidal creeks, sandy beaches, and peaceful farmland attracts goldcrests, firecrests, warblers, and buntings. You may also glimpse birds of prey such as hobbies, merlins, peregrine falcons, and, if you’re lucky, the rare hen harrier.
At Stithians Lake, a large reservoir, breeding birds like little grebes, coots, and moorhens are common. Waders such as greenshanks, ruffs, and curlew sandpipers can also be seen foraging along the muddy banks.
Not far from St Ives, St Ives Island, actually a headland between Porthmeor and Porthgwidden beaches, is a top spot for seabird watching, especially in autumn. Huge flocks of skuas, terns, gannets, fulmars, and auks pass by, alongside waders like purple sandpipers, whimbrels, and turnstones.
Finally, no trip to Cornwall would be complete without exploring Bodmin Moor. This dramatic granite moorland, scattered with ancient ruins and rich in wildlife, is especially rewarding in spring and summer, when skylarks, stonechats, wheatears, and sedge warblers arrive to breed. In autumn and winter, the moor plays host to thousands of golden plovers, along with snipes and the more elusive jack snipe.
