Better roads, direct rail services, daily flights, and a network of bus routes and new
cycle ways all mean that travelling to North Cornwall is easier than ever before.
During the summer visitors are advised to come early, stay long and leave late.
Setting off early means you get a few extra hours to enjoy the beauty of the area
and beat the traffic. Go home late and you'll travel when the roads are quieter.
Better still, leave the car behind. Regular bus services run from the train
stations at Bodmin Parkway and Exeter St David's; National Express coaches to
Exeter, Bodmin, Wadebridge, Newquay and occasionally to Bude; and low-cost
flights to Newquay all have good bus connections to our area via Bude or
Camelford. There are various car hire companies along the way too.
Once you're here, most of North Cornwall is easily accessible by bus.
Western Greyhound Bus Company have regular (hourly in the summer and bi-
hourly in winter) services running along the coast from Bude to Wadebridge,
calling at Crackington Haven, Boscastle, Tintagel and Port Isaac.
The A30 is dual carriageway from the M5 to Bodmin, with fast roads
connecting to Bude, Camelford, Wadebridge and Padstow. Alternatively, opt for
the A39 Atlantic Highway.

 Finding Acccommodation
This guide lists many of the quality graded holiday accommodation establishments in our area
and gives all the information you need to plan your perfect holiday. Simply contact the
establishment direct to confirm prices, availability and facilities. Browsing their website may
answer many of your questions.
If you are looking for accommodation for a specific date in busy periods, rather than spending
time contacting numerous properties, a quick visit to our website
www.visitboscastleandtintagel.com and a date search will bring up all establishments with
vacancies for your stay.
If you don’t have internet access, contact one of the Visitor Centres and ask the helpful staff to
do a search for you.

Holidays for the Less Able

Some of our holiday accommodation establishments have been awarded
specific gradings by Visit Britain to reward them for adapting their properties to
make them more suitable for the less able.

Many properties in our area are very old, and subject to listed building
restrictions. Because of this, it is not always possible to make structural changes
to the accommodation to make them suitable for disability aids such as
wheelchairs.

Our website gives a list of important factors which could be taken into
consideration by the less able, such as the number of steps to the bedroom and
the route from the front door to the parking area. All graded properties will
supply access details.

Holidays with Pets

Many properties are happy to accommodate pets and Visit Britain issue a specific award for pet
friendly accommodation. Always confirm with the accommodation provider that they are happy to
accommodate your whole party!

 Crackington Haven
Located in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty the Haven lies on the north coast
just a few miles from Boscastle. Once a small harbour importing coal and limestone from
Wales. There is evidence to prove the existence of a lime kiln on the top of the beach circa
1700-1900, when it was demolished and the stone used to build a bridge on the coast road.
There were plans in the 1800's to build a breakwater across Tremoutha and
connect “Port Victoria” with Launceston by rail. At certain times, depending on the tides
and shifting sands, iron rings for mooring can be seen in the rocks in the middle of the bay.
Spend time relaxing and at high tide explore the beach, which reveals sand and
rock pools as the tide ebbs away. The famous zig-zag folds and faults in the rock
formations above the beach were formed millions of years ago from black shale, sandstone
and quartz.
In this modern world the Haven is a favourite venue for surfing, family beach
parties and refreshments are available from the Cabin café and the Haven Café, meals and
bar snacks are available at the local pub. There are toilet facilities and a beach shop.
Beyond the Haven there are further treasures and views to discover in the peaceful and
inspiring setting of St. Gennys with its historic church. To the south of the haven on the coast
is Trevigue, a National Trust owned working livestock farm.

In Boscastle ....
The Historic Harbour of Boscastle nestles in a scenic rocky inlet on the
dramatic North Cornwall coast. The devastation wrought by the terrible flood of
2004 has all but disappeared and there are few reminders except the occasional
wall plaque showing the depth of water on August 16th. A permanent exhibition in
the Visitor Centre shows pictures and news footage.

The Old Forge: Now an artist's studio and gallery, the last blacksmith to work in
the forge was Bill Gent in the 1940s.
It became a tea room in the 1950's and the National Trust shop from the 1960's
until the 2004 flood. Post-flood the National Trust moved to its new location and
the Forge entered its present use.

The Lime Kiln: View this well preserved double-sided lime kiln next to the visitor
centre. A leaflet on the history and purpose of lime kilns is available to buy in the
centre itself.

The Pilchard Palace: Now housing the National Trust's shop, café and visitor
centre, this building was a pilchard palace in the 19th century. Here the fish were
salted, pressed and packed for export. The slots for the pressing beams can still
be seen in the walls.

The Museum of Witchcraft: The museum first opened its doors in 1961. It has
become an iconic attraction and one of the most popular museums in Cornwall. It
is open from Easter to Halloween.
The Youth Hostel: This opened in 1962. Originally it was stabling for the
harbour's work horses.

The Blow Hole: Also known as 'The Devil's Bellows' the blowhole can be seen in
action on the north side of the harbour between 1 and 1½ hours either side of low
tide. Predicting whether the blowhole blows is difficult: winds, tides and other
conditions need to be just right!

The Coastwatch Lookout: A short walk up the cliff path. This is manned by
volunteers, who welcome anyone who wishes to view this historic building.
Originally a folly built in the 1820's by Thomas Avery a local merchant and Lord of
the manor. Possibly so his disabled daughter could enjoy picnic’s under shelter.
It is situated on an Iron Age cliff castle fortification.

Forrabury Church is dedicated to St Symphorian, from Burgundy. Most of it

was rebuilt in 1867. You will see an ancient Celtic cross outside the churchyard.

The coastal grassland is a nationally rare habitat, sawwort and carline thistles are
among the rarer plants in the short grass. Continue past the 'Stitches' a
medieval, or possibly earlier strip field system, carefully managed by the National
Trust to help improve the plant bio-diversity. A wide range of orchids and the now
scarce weasel’s-snout (lesser snapdragon)can also be seen.

Valency Valley: Follow the picturesque River Valency through a meadow and
wooded valley. Cross the little bridge and up the steep, wooded hillside to historic
Minster Church, or continue onwards to St Juliot's Church with more Hardy
connections and walk by the Old Rectory where the writer met Emma, his first
wife.

It's a lovely 2 to 3 hour walk to Tintagel along the coast path (a guide to the walk is
available at the visitor centre).
