Local Beauty
|
|
St Merryn is an area is of outstanding natural
beauty. The coastal paths, many owned by the National
Trust, offer some spectacular coastal walks. The area is
an ornithologists delight and photographers and artists
alike will be captivated by some of the scenery.
Treginegar is an ideal base for exploring Cornwall.
Please check the tourist packs for details of local
attractions.
|
| The Local Slogan boasts ‘7 bays for
7 days’. These beaches are: Trevone, Harlyn,
Constantine, Booby’s, Mother Ivey’s, Treyarnon, and
Porthcothan. All of these Bays and Beaches are very clean
and are among the finest within Cornwall, each one with its
own outstanding attributes. From May to September
lifeguards patrol most bays, making the water very safe
for all the family. |
| Treyarnon Bay . This is
Treginegar’s nearest beach. It is one of the most
unspoilt beaches in North Cornwall! It has some
spectacular walks along the coastal path, has a car park,
public toilets with disabled access. There is a beach shop,
with deckchair hire. This beach is our personal
favourite! The Youth Hostel situated on the headland
overlooking the bay offers a good selection of meals,
snacks and beverages and also has a surf school |
| Constantine Bay is a large
beach that sweeps around the coastline
with golden sand, and is exceptionally popular with surfers. You’ll
find secluded areas amongst the sand dunes and a complex
of rock pools that children love to play in. The coastal
path links Constantine with both Treyarnon and Booby’s |
| Booby's Bay is a beautiful
isolated beach. It has fine golden sand and some rocky
outcrops. There are some fantastic cliff walks including a
collapsed sea cave called "Round Hole". The
beach is quite isolated but is well worth a visit. |
| Harlyn Bay is around two
thirds of a mile long and is made up of sand and pebbles.
It has sand dunes and stunning cliffs. You will find
Harlyn surf school here along with the Harlyn Bay Inn and
surf shop. Seals can often be spotted from the coastal
path |
| Porthcothan is a large sandy
beach in a triangular shape. It is backed by cliffs and
sand dunes and easily accessible. |
| Mother Ivey’s is a
beautiful, isolated, rural beach, which is hidden away in
a bay. This means that it doesn’t get so much attention
from tourist so is well worth a visit. |
|
Trevone (photo) is another breathtaking bay that
offers lovely clean golden sand. It is great for its rock
pools where you will find crabs, shrimps and small fish.
|
Cycling ‘The Camel Trail’
|
| Cycle hire is available at
Padstow or Wadebridge. There is 26 miles of scenic cycle
path from Bodmin, through Wadebridge and onto Padstow.
Cycle as much or as little as you’d like, stopping off
for refreshments en route! |
Surfing
|
| Surfing – plenty of choice
of great surfing beaches. Harlyn Bay, Treyarnon BAy and
Constantine Bay have local surf schools where wet suits, boards,
lessons and equipment can be hired. The Pit at St Merryn offers helpful
advise and reasonable prices, just tell John we’ve
recommended him! Watergate Bay offers the world famous O'Neill
Surf Academy right on the beach overlooked by Jamie
