Once a small port importing limestone and coal, the tiny village of Crackington Haven sits on Cornwall’s rugged North coast between Bude and Boscastle surrounded by stunning natural scenery.  Seemingly barely touched by time, the village remains just a smattering of cottages leading down to a lovely sand and shingle cove set between dramatic cliffs.

Holidays in Crackington Haven revolve around the beach and getting outdoors; spend sunny summer days with a picnic on the sand, in the water or exploring the rock pools exposed at low tide.  The beach is a popular spot for surfers and there is safe swimming too, with lifeguard cover during the summer months.   In more wintery weather the beach remains a popular destination for walkers and mini explorers who’ll fall in love with the remarkable landscapes and geology of the cove.  And with fabulous walking in both directions on the South West Coast Path, there’s plenty to do at any time of year. 

Using your holiday cottage in Crackington Haven as a base you’re well placed to explore the stunning surrounding area.  The adventurous can set out on foot to attempt the 10 mile Crackington to Bude stretch of the coast path and be rewarded with breath-taking views of the Atlantic, or challenge themselves in the other direction from Crackington Haven to Tintagel.  Here again you will enjoy stunning ocean views as well as the chance to spot peregrine falcons, buzzards kestrel and breeding seabirds in early summer.   For the rest of us there are plenty of shorter routes to explore the local countryside, and Bude and Tintagel with their own pretty beaches along with shops, bars and restaurants are easily reached by car and make for an excellent day out.

Our holiday cottages in Crackington Haven are perfect for couples and families and most accept dogs so you all can enjoy your holiday in this beautiful corner of Cornwall.

Things To Do In Cornwall

Museum of Witchcraft
(5 miles)

(2)

A magic experience to enjoy while you’re on holiday in Cornwall, the Museum of Witchcraft is in the village of Boscastle and was the creation of Cecil Williams whose fascination with the subject started in childhood.  He set up the Cornish museum in 1960, saying it was three miles from a prehistoric maze stone carved into a living rock face, ‘proof that from ancient times man and his magic making with the world of spirit were active in this area’.  Today you can visit to explore the collections or enjoy seasonal events such as candlelit evenings and Halloween at the museum.

Segway Bude
(7 miles)

(1)

Explore the breathtaking Cornish countryside whilst discovering the thrill of riding a Segway! You can ride a Segway with no prior experience at all, and whilst there is no minimum age, riders must be able to comfortably reach the handlebars (around 4ft) and weigh at least 5 stone to allow the Segway to work efficiently. Segwaying is a fun activity for all of the family, young and old, as well as couples and friends. If you're looking for something different to do and a little adventure in the Cornish countryside, then book a Segway session!

I enjoyed myself, but my 15 year old son thought it was a bit slow - he's used to electric scooters, etc. It was more a tour of a holiday park than a "scenic tour", which was a bit disappointing. The whole thing was over in about 45 minutes. Hard to work out where it was from the carpark, as there were no signs.

St Nectan's Glen
(7 miles)

(2)

Visit the sacred site of St Nectan's Glen and see how the river Trevillet has carved its way through the slate to create a magnificent 60 foot waterfall and punched a hole through the original kieve (basin). Access this area of outstanding natural beauty through an ancient woodland walk along the banks of the river. Arrive at the hermitage and enjoy a well-deserved cream tea or coffee before wondering down to the waterfall to experience one of Cornwall’s hidden treasures. Prices start from £5.95 for an Adult and £4.70 for a child.

Tintagel Castle
(8 miles)

Part of English Heritage, Tintagel Castle is more a ruin than a castle these days, but nonetheless, it’s an exciting opportunity to get involved with the history, myths and exceptional scenery at this spot that’s inextricably linked to the legend of King Arthur.  Set on a coastline that has inspired artists and writers for centuries, see ancient artefacts and explore the history of the castle and the legends that have shaped its story, as well as learning about its time as a royal stronghold, thriving trading post and the setting for romantic stories.  Prices start at £7.90 for adults who are not members, and £4.70 for children.

Fantastic!!!. Absolutely outstanding views

September 2021

Brilliant place to visit with so much history. It is a very steep walk down which you do not get told, we always took a short cut across the first bridge on your left that you will come to this will take you on to the church path which is fantastic this is a must to see the door is left open for tourist there are little booklets telling you all a bout it for a small fee in a donation box. If you want the Tintagel Castle head to the right of the opening. If you feel You can not walk to far catch the Land Rover's that only cost a couple of pounds you will find them on the top of the hill next to Wootans Pub. If you want to know more about the castle buy the book in the shop before you entre, it will talk you through step by step on where you are in the Castle and what sort of age the ruins are. Don't forget to check high times to visit Merlins Cave. Last thing for me to say is you will not be dissapointed

September 2021

Great place to visit and take it all in...

August 2021

Much as we would have liked to try out the new bridge, we felt £16 each was a bit steep for the privilege and got a good enough view from the grounds of the big hotel above.
