Port
Gaverne is one of the most beautiful coves on the north coast of Cornwall.
In an area largely owned by the National Trust, it is totally unspoilt
and ideal for a carefree, relaxed holiday.
Breock is a single-storey cottage in what was the Liberty Fish 'cellar'
in Port Gaverne. The cellar is now known as Gullrock, a group of nine
cottages around a charming lawned courtyard garden, peaceful and secluded,
yet only a hundred yards from a delightful beach which is sandy at low
tide and ideal for safe bathing. |

Just
10 minutes walk away is the fishing village of Port Isaac, with a range
of shops, hotels and restaurants. Narrow streets tumble down to the
harbour where crab and lobster are landed daily in season and sold from
the fish cellar.
The
wide sweep of Port Isaac Bay, with its cliffs and coves, is a paradise
for walkers and naturalists. From Tintagel, with its castle and links
to King Arthur, to Rumps Point and Pentire Head at the mouth of the
Camel estuary, this part of the coast has something for everybody. Just
beyond Pentire are the renowned surfing beach at Polzeath and the vast
expanse of sand at Daymer Bay, all within a short drive, an easy bus
ride or an energetic half-day’s walk. The ferry from Rock provides easy
access to the bustling little town of Padstow. The town of Wadebridge
is just 10 miles away, and offers a full range of shops, cinema, swimming
pool and bike hire for the Camel Trail which runs along the glorious
Camel estuary.
