Places to go and things to do on your Lower Tresmorn Holiday

Relax Padstow Boscastle Tintagel beach Seal at Newquay

THERE ARE SO MANY WONDERFUL PLACES NEARBY

Lying within the North Cornwall Heritage Coast area, Lower Tresmorn is ideally situated for exploring the delights of Cornwall and Devon. Our nearest beach is the beautiful cove of Crackington Haven, just two miles by road or a breathtaking walk along the coast path from the farm.

Bude is nine miles north, the Norman market town of Launceston (the locals call it Lanson), and picturesque fishing villages of Boscastle and Port Isaac, all within easy reach. Bodmin Moor - beautiful in all its moods, King Arthur's romantic, ruined cliff top castle and the 'Betjeman Country' around St Enodoc and Padstow are well within a half hours drive.

There are many lovely beaches within easy reach, the closest, Crackington Haven (also known as Cracky) is just five minutes by car and arguably the best. Safe and sandy, with rock pools and towering cliffs, un-commercialised, but with good amenities for refreshments, it is an idyllic setting.
