  • Peaceful seaview site on the north Cornwall coast
  • Direct access to the South West Coast Path
  • Beach nearby; surfing and watersports 20 minutes by car
Seeking sea views, clifftop paths, cracking good Cornish pubs and surf beaches? Take a look at Caradoc of Tregardock, on the north Cornwall coast surrounded by miles of coastline, historic seaside villages, moors, river valleys, stately homes and visitor attractions. Accessed by a narrow lane with no through traffic, and right on the edge of the land overlooking the Atlantic, the site sits alongside a remote section of the South West Coast Path, linking this fab property to Port Gaverne's pubs, restaurants and speciality shops 10 minutes' drive away and to the 14th-century fishing village of Port Isaac and medieval Boscastle, 15 minutes away. Take the footpath from the site through meadows of wildflowers and flocks of sheep down the hill for strolls, paddles, swims and rockpooling on the secluded beach; beaches further afield include Trebarwith Strand, Polzeath, Daymer Bay and Rock, all within around 20 minutes' drive. Amenities include a hot shower, a washbasin and a toilet. It's recommended that you bring a torch for dark evenings and walking boots or wellies in case of wet weather.

Camping pod

Liked: The pod had beautiful sea views and the field it was in felt private. The pod is basic, in the loveliest of way! The mats provided for sleeping on were incredibly comfortable! The shower was as good as any household shower. We liked that the pod was close to the South West Coast Path so a perfect location for backpackers, and for those who just like to explore! There's a beach close by and amazing scenery!

From the manager: Thank you so much for the splendid review and that you enjoyed your stay. Best, Hugo

Local attractions

Experienced surfers as well as those who want to learn have plenty to pick from on this coastal stretch, as it's around 20 minutes' drive to Trebarwith and Polzeath and 40 minutes to the surf schools at Harlyn Bay. If you prefer getting round on wheels to waves, it's 40 minutes' drive to Padstow for bike hire and the start of the 17-mile Camel Trail, a former railway line passing through some of north Cornwall's most impressive scenery. Travellers on foot are also welcome on the trail, while all 630 miles of the South West Coast Path can be accessed directly from the site. For those who prefer mooching to a route marching coastal spots like Port Isaac and Tintagel are 15 minutes from the site, the latter home to a castle with a whiff of Arthurian myth, as well as a brewery with tours and tastings. Folk who fancy poking round some more recently occupied palatial piles should aim for the grand National Trust houses and gardens of Pencarrow and Lanhydrock 25 and 40 minutes' drive away. You're also handily placed to reach some of south-west England's big name attractions from here: it's about 45 minutes to the tropical biospheres of the Eden Project and an hour to The Lost Gardens of Heligan, now happily re-found.
