An interesting thirteen mile hike along the Cornish Coastal Path with stunning coastal views taking in Mount Edgcumbe Country Park and several pretty Cornish villages with obligatory watering holes! Make sure you plan your journey back as public transport in the area is limited.
Sitting in the heart of the traffic free village, this pub is popular with visitors and locals alike. Park in one of the many car parks nearby and call in for lunch, afternoon tea or dinner. Children are welcome however they dine from the main menu (half portions available), and dogs are allowed on leads. Note, the pub is closed on Tuesdays during term time.
Both Barn Pool and this beach are next to the Cremyll foot ferry with access to the gardens of Mount Edgecumbe Park nearby. With lovely views across to Plymouth, Cremyll beach is shingle and sand with some rock pools around the south side. Car parking is available at Cremyll and dogs are allowed year round.
Together with its twin village, Cawsand, Kingsand is a little piece of holiday heaven. Tiny, twisting streets, a string of three beaches separated by rocks (excellent rockpooling to be had here) and calendar-perfect fishermen's cottages have inspired many a photographer here. If you're looking for an oasis of peace, you've come to the right place.
In a superb position right on the water, The Ship Inn is a peaceful, traditional pub without juke boxes or quiz machines, perfect for a relaxing lunch.
The Mussel Inn focuses on good, honest food, quality beverages and top-notch hospitality. Specialising in seafood, fresh produce is sourced from Plymouth Fish Market and specials are updated regularly. Traditional pub favourites are also served and there is a roast on Sundays.
To reach this small cove you will need to be willing to climb over the rocks. The beach is very secluded with fingers of rock at low tide. There are several rock pools to be explored.
A good little beach for walkers - you might as well plan a coast path jaunt as parking is in Noss Mayo, and access is via a half hour or more walk along the river. But it is a pretty woodland walk. The beach itself has steep access when you get there and is a mixture of pebbles and sand. Once rested, you carry on your merry way further round the coast.
A stony, wide sweeping beach with only a small strip above high water. Facilites are available at the nearby Country Park.
A few years ago, the Classic Cottages team started writing about where we live and why we love it. Over time these have evolved into the Classic Guide.
