Easily identifiable by the small white coastguard lookout tower perching on the end. Walking anywhere along this coast is an inspiring experience and the cliffs (with those of Penally Point), form imposing headlands either side of the harbour entrance.
Penally Point On the northern side, and boasts a blow hole that shoots out plumes of water at low tide.
Crackington Haven Tere is a beautiful beach with challenging surf, lanes through unspoilt countryside, farmed cliff tops, hamlets and ancient forests.
Bude Rarely a day passes without an event taking place, including craft fairs and the three day Bude Carnival. Bude is an exceptional resort for destination holidays, weekend breaks and DAYS OUT. During summer there are crafts to hire, and nature and beach- based activities. In the heart of the town, a hive of independent stores, various sporting activities and a Golf Course open to all make Bude an ideal all-weather resort. A fine example of the crafts here is the Glass blowing at the Beau Nidol Gallery.

Morwenstow
A wild and imposing place with an inn dating from 950AD, when it was used by travelling monks. It was here, in the 1800’s, the local rector (Reverend Hawker) served a motley collection of smugglers, wreckers and dissenters for around forty years. Reverend Hawker’s legacy is the celebrated Harvest Festival service, and his poem, ‘Song of the Western Men’, became Cornwall’s National Anthem. In the churchyard there is a cross inscribed ‘Unknown Yet Well Known’, which marks the grave of thirty or more seafarers that this Vicar brought up the cliffs to give a Christian burial. His hut, ‘Hawker’s Hut’, is one of the National Trust’s smallest buildings.
