‘This long stretch of shoreline has some of the best waves in the world for surfing’
Duration
Eight nights
When
May 2023
Why?
To explore the fine scenery and many attractions of this hugely popular part of the world
Whichever time of the year you choose to visit Cornwall, you’ll always be able to enjoy the beautiful scenery. But in summer, it has a justified reputation for being busy, so we chose to tour in May, hoping that it would be quieter, with spring weather.
We made two overnight stops en route, before finally arriving at the Caravan and Motorhome Club site at Treamble Valley, near Newquay. This pretty campsite, set in a wooded valley, is laid out in individual pitching zones, giving a pleasantly secluded feel.
When we arrived, we were pleased to see that there were plenty of pitches available and we took one next to our friends Helen and Roy, who had pitched up there the day before.
Hugging the coast
On our first day, we parked with our friends in Newquay - the only car park with no height or weight restrictions is Tregunnel (TR7 1TS).
Newquay’s fabulous beaches, Towan, Great Western and Tolcarn, are all within walking
