Portreath - Cornwall

Each year millions of people from all over the world visit Cornwall in the South West of England. The county has the longest coastline in the United Kingdom and possesses a wealth of natural beauty, both by the sea and inland.
 

Situated on Cornwall's NW coast, we believe Portreath is one of the most spectacular spots in the county, nestling in a valley between high cliffs, with a fine sandy beach and a harbour. An ideal venue both for the family and the more energetic water sports enthusiasts.

For holiday-makers who prefer to keep to the local area there are many facilities to enjoy, including the beautiful beach for swimming, surfing, windsurfing and fishing as well as horse riding, golf and there is a sports centre situated nearby.
 

Portreath itself is a village with a friendly atmosphere, the local amenities providing for all holiday and touring needs. There are cafes and licensed restaurants, a good range of shops and three public houses that welcome children. All in all it is a place where people used to a more hectic pace of life can relax and unwind.

Immediately inland is Tehidy Country Park with its adjoining golf course, an area of beautiful woodland, lakeside walks and picnic areas. Throughout the year a programme of free guided walks on history, geology, botany and natural history can be enjoyed by the whole family. Adjoining Portreath itself are the Illogan Woods, where swift streams flow beneath towering beeches and a circular walk leads to the 14th century church tower of Illogan.
