inland. As with all of the scenic Cornish villages parking is a huge problem so visitors are advised to use the large car park at the top of the hill and to walk down to the village.
Port Gaverne is a pretty unspoilt cove around the corner from Port Isaac. There is a sheltered, sandy beach, with rock pools, probably the safest in north Cornwall for small children. Some old buildings on the quay have been converted into holiday accommodation. There is a 17th century inn in the cove thoroughly recommended for its friendly ambience.
Port Quin, a few miles to the west, is largely owned by The National Trust. After a storm took most of its men folk, the village was deserted. There is an interesting walk from Port Isaac to Port Quin. From the harbour, climb up Roscarrock Hill and take the route to Pine Haven. There are some beautiful views along the route and, close to Port Quinn, is Doyden Castle, once used in Poldark. The castellated folly was built in 1830 and is now a hotel.
At nearby St Endellion, classical musical festivals are held in the parish Church, at Easter and Midsummer. Located adjacent to the Long Cross Hotel are Long Cross Victorian Gardens, the only public gardens on the North Cornish coast. The gardens are in their original Victorian layout and were constructed primarily to overcome the difficulties of the local climate. They cover over two acres and feature a maze, small lake, dovecote; children’s play area and pets’ corner.
Tintagel The mention of this Cornish village conjures up a host of images, wild Cornish cliffs and rugged shores, mysterious ruins clinging to a wind-swept island, and all things ‘Arthurian’. With an atmosphere like no other this place has attracted poets, artists, historians and sightseers since the Victorian Era. Actually the village and its lovely surrounding countryside have something to appeal to every taste and interest. Stroll among the wildflowers on scented summer cliffs. Take a walk to Barras Nose; try your luck at seal-spotting, wander up to the lovely church with its ancient origins and breathtaking views. Hike to the Iron Age ramparts on Willapark, or delve into the mysteries
