The restaurant at Lusty Glaze beach is very family friendly and boasts one of the best views straight out over the sea. There is a very long flight of stairs down the cliff to reach the beach so beware that it would not be suitable for those with mobility issues.

A lovely informal restaurant with fabulous views over our most local beach, the Great Western. An easy 5-10 minute walk from our house. They stock lots of great local produce and local beers/ciders. They do great coffee too, but only open from midday onwards.

Hire bikes for the whole family at one of the many bike hire shops in Wadebridge (tandems available!) and cycle the beautiful scenic route along the Camel Estuary towards Padstow.

Not only is Port Isaac a beautiful and bustling harbour town, it's also the location where the TV series 'Doc Martin' was filmed. TIP: Renowned shanty band, Fishermans Friends, sing in the harbour on sunny Friday evenings which is always well worth a trip for.
