Walks Around Newquay
Newquay on Cornwall’s Atlantic Coast has recently been voted “one of the nation’s favourite seaside towns” in the prestigious Which Holiday Survey.
Newquay’s laid back charm, surfing beaches and nightlife is here for everyone to enjoy. From Newquay the Coast Path stretches out with stunning views everywhere you look! There are also deep historical roots here with Trevelgue Head and Porth Island a major centre of prehistoric civilisation, inhabited for over 6,000 years. There are caves of marble carved out by the sea’s erosion and blowholes have been created where water has forced through the rocks. There’s a vast array of golden sandy beaches all within a stone’s throw of the town, including the fantastic Watergate bay.
More information about the walks around Newquay are available at reception.

Bedruthan Steps Easy Access
Easy – 0.8 miles (1.2 km)
A short, stimulating trail at one of the most iconic destinations on the North Cornish coast. Parking in the National Trust Carnewas car-park this trail takes you out onto the South West Coast Path with sea views from Newquay past Park Head to Trevose Head.
Crantock & Penpol Creek
Easy – 1.7 miles (2.7 km)
A short walk offering beautiful views over a tranquil estuary and the sweeping Atlantic coast, as well as the chance to explore the pretty coastal village of Crantock. Children will love the long sandy beach backed by dunes, and the stories of ancient saints arriving on peculiar boats and a wicked population buried in sand! A great walk in springtime: listen out for kittiwakes nesting on the cliffs, corn buntings feeding in the fields and great spotted woodpeckers drumming in the woodland. Great in summer.
