The Napoleon Inn
A traditional, low-beamed 16th century inn where food is seasonal and freshly cooked. The inn is in the upper part of the village so be prepared for a climb if you walk from the lower part. There's a beer garden and beer terrace over the road and dogs are welcome.

Boscastle Coast and Countryside Walk
Starting in the picturesque seaside village of Boscastle, this four and a half mile walk explores the cliffs above the harbour then inland through woodland and along the river. This moderate walk has some steps and stiles with a few short, steep ascents. Why not visit the pub on your return to Boscastle and enjoy a well deserved pint.

Peckish Fish & Chips
This is the place for the best takeaway fish and chips in the area. A range of burgers, pies and other takeaway foods also available.

Trebarwith Strand Beach
Truly beautiful when the tide is out. Just 5 minutes from Tintagel and good for bass fishing too.

Cobweb Inn Boscastle
Set in the heart of stunning Boscastle, this family friendly pub serves home-made food and Cornish ales. The bar has open fires to keep you warm in winter and outside seating for relaxed dining during the summer. Dogs are welcome.

Tintagel
Tintagel, legendary home of King Arthur and the knights of the round table. On Tintagel Head the atmospheric ruins of the 12th Century castle command spectacular views up and down the rugged north coast of Cornwall. Take a few days to explore the surrounding area, which is steeped in Arthurian myth.

Bossiney Beach
Pretty cove near Tintagel that links up with Benoath Cove at low tide. Usually fairly quiet.
9
Camelford
Camelford is an ancient Cornish market town through which the Camel river runs on its way to the coast at Padstow. The town itself has a good selection of pubs, cafes and restaurants, but it is perhaps Camelford's surroundings that are the real draw here. Walkers are in heaven when they venture just outside Camelford to explore the moorland and climb two of Cornwall's highest points, the tors of Brown Willy and Rough Tor; an extinct volcano. For the less energetic, a stroll along the river banks through Enfield Park is a lovely way to spend an afternoon.
10
Tintagel and the Rocky Valley
Initially heading inland from Tintagel Vistor Centre to magical St Nectan's Glen, through Rocky Valley and then along the coast to Tintagel Castle. The views of the coastline throughout this walk are spectacular. Along the way you'll come across a ruined village and Bronze Age carvings. It's around six miles at a moderate grading.
