Choose Camelford as a holiday base and you're within hopping distance of the coast and its beaches on one hand, and Bodmin Moor on the other.
This is the land which inspired the writings of Hardy and Tennyson - Beeny Cliff, Valency Valley, mythical Tintagel. It still inspires today, with Port Isaac the setting for hit films such as Saving Grace. Here you can watch the fishing fleet set sail at dawn, and find the day's catch on restaurant menus that night! There are superb sandy beaches, too - Bossiney, Crackington Haven and Trebarwith Strand - all suntraps sheltered by the dramatic cliff curtain.
Not surprisingly, every nook and cranny of this landscape has its story to tell. Tales of shipwreck and smuggling at Boscastle, of medieval mystery at Tintagel, of industrial heritage at Delabole Slate Quarry.
Watching the kittiwakes soar above Bounds Cliff, rambling over the Iron Age ramparts of Rumps Point, wandering beside the waterfalls of Rocky Valley or making a pilgrimage to the shrine of St Nectan's Glen... wherever you go, take your time, and let the spirit and atmosphere of this beguiling place work its spell on you.
