The north coast of Cornwall and the area around Polzeath/Rock/Port Isaac in particular, is an area of outstanding natural beauty and provides a wealth of activities for all ages and all seasons.

Rock is close by with its array of food and clothing shops as well as its sailing club and water ski school. Set back from the beach is St Enodoc golf club, a links course offering unbeatable views of the Camel Estuary.

Daymer Bay is a great beach for young children in particular as it lacks the big waves of Polzeath. The beautiful church of St Enodoc, made famous by the poet Sir John Betjeman, is nestled in the sand dunes nearby.

Polzeath is a traditional family seaside village with one of the best and safest surfing beaches in Cornwall. There are two surf schools located on the beach for beginners and improvers alike.

Port Isaac is a charming fishing village surrounding a picturesque harbour with whitewashed houses crowding the narrow streets and alleyways. It is the location for TV series Doc Martin and is a great place to go for fresh fish, art galleries and gift shops.

Padstow can be reached by road or by ferry across the estuary from Rock. It is a picturesque harbour surrounded by clothes, food and gift shops as well as numerous eateries including Rick Stein’s famous Seafood Restaurant, the Rick Stein Bistro and the Rick Stein Fish & Chip shop.

Wadebridge is a bustling market town on the River Camel. It offers a wide variety of things to do including river walks, shopping, eating and indoor and outdoor leisure facilities. It is also the gateway to the Camel Trail – a flat, virtually traffic-free cycle path which runs from Bodmin to Padstow. Bikes can be hired in Wadebridge (the half way point) as well as the two towns either end.
