Discover the Wild Beauty of North Cornwall
Whether you are looking for the best beaches in North Cornwall or something secluded, there is lots to choose from. North Cornwall is where the land ends dramatically and the Atlantic begins in earnest. Stretching from the thunderous cliffs of Stanbury Mouth near the Devon border down to the golden sweep of Trevaunance Cove, this coastline feels raw, restless and deeply alive. Waves crash against ancient headlands, sea mist drifts across clifftop paths, and beaches appear and disappear with the tides.
Tintagel and King Arthur
North Cornwall’s landscape is inseparable from its stories. Tintagel Castle, dramatically perched on a windswept headland, is one of Britain’s most evocative historic sites.
