Big Days Out
For a trip out to the pub, head to the Rising Sun at Altarnun, a 10 minute drive away – it has a great list of local ales. While in Cornwall you may not be able to resist a visit to Rick Stein’s restaurants in Padstow. Try your luck with his infamously hard-to-reserve main restaurant, or the Brasserie and the fish and chip shop, which are much easier for drop-in visits.
For sand, fun and a taste of the classic British seaside head to one of Bude’s three beaches. Widemouth Bay is just 14 miles from Tregulland. Whether you wish to swim, sunbathe, surf, hunt for marine life in the hundreds of rock pools or just comb the beach, Widemouth has it all.
A craggy cove, with a beach only revealed at low tide, Strangles Beach is a favourite with Tregulland’s guests. Accessed via a steep climb down the cliffs, it is quiet all year round.
Rocky Valley on the coast path from Tintagel to Boscastle is a hidden gem. Two small carvings on the rock face, just east of a ruined mill, possibly date from the Bronze Age. The walk down the valley to the coast is stunning.
