in 1 SEASHORE Newquay,
North Cornwall, TR7 3NH
This exclusive location has its own steps down to the beach as well as an allocated car parking space to the front of the property. The apartment is available all year, and central heating (for those cooler winter evenings) is, of course, included. There are 2 steps up to the front door and the apartment is on the 1st floor which is accessed by the stairs. Situation With its breathtaking rugged coastal scenery and seven miles of golden sandy beaches it is easy to see why Newquay has become the surfer’s paradise and been the most popular holiday destination in Cornwall. The airport is expanding, with British Airways recently restarting flights from Gatwick, and the main roads into Newquay have been given a good overhaul. Sights worth visiting include the harbour, the River Gannel tidal estuary, the fly and active promenades built on the site of the pilchard-curing cellars, Huer’s House on Towan Headland, Trevelgue Head Island ancient village settlement and the Tumuli prehistoric burial places at Whipsiderry, Porth Island and Barrowfields. A great family attraction to visit is Trenance Leisure Park. The 25-acre park houses Newquay Zoo, Waterworld, sports facilities, a miniature railway, Newquay’s oldest cottage, gardens, a boating lake and bird sanctuary. If you tire of all the sea air you could always visit the Blue Reef Aquarium situated on Towan Beach and experience the wonders of the Atlantic with a slice of life beneath the waves. Four miles south of Newquay along peaceful rural lanes is the spectacular National Trust property, Trerice Manor - an elaborate Elizabethan house complete with beautiful gardens and a lawnmower museum. Within a short drive there are the rugged jaws of rock at Bedruthan Steps, the Wheal Martyn Museum near St Austell that turns the China clay industry into an exciting adventure trail, Paradise Park at Hayle with its wonderful world of wildlife in splendid Victorian Gardens, Padstow and Rock, Tintagel with its fabulous ruins and Arthurian legends, and the nationally acclaimed Eden Project near St Austell to name but a few. Cornwall has so many attractions the biggest challenge for any holidaymaker is finding time to fit it all in.
The keen walker or cyclist can follow the St Piran trail out of Newquay on a picturesque journey through villages and patchwork countryside taking in ancient buildings and stunning gardens. Fistral is the stage for all major UK surfing competitions and is famous for big waves. Fistral can be great for learners but when the Atlantic’s at its most ferocious the sheltered beaches of Towan, Great Western, Tolcarne, Lusty Glaze and Porth are the beaches to head for because they provide fun and mellow surf. Whatever your surfing ability there is no better place to take surf lessons than Newquay. To find a top surf school visit Explore South West where you can also find other great activities such as Kite Surfing, Canoeing and Newquay’s latest craze, Coasteering. Newquay’s Discovery Trail is a relaxing walking route which takes you around town, allows you to get your bearings and visit local shops while introducing you to some of Newquay’s history, myths and legends. This walk also presents plenty of opportunities to indulge in a tradition Cornish ice cream, pasty or cream tea at any number of excellent cafes. If you wish to escape the town there are more than 10 other circular walks to discover. Some take you onto the beaches and high up on the cliff paths to take in the sweeping sea views while others lead you to other points of natural beauty and interest. Sights worth visiting include the harbour, the River Gannel tidal estuary, the fly and active promenades built on the site of the pilchard-curing cellars, Huer’s House on Towan Headland, Trevelgue Head Island ancient village settlement and the Tumuli prehistoric burial places at Whipsiderry, Porth Island and Barrowfields.
