Description
The Barton is a traditionally converted, spacious Barn, surrounded by 31 acres of stunning, privately owed woodlands and fields.

The perfect place to return too after a busy day exploring. Whether it's chilly outside and you cosy up in front of the woodburner, or make use of your private outside space for some alfresco dining. The Barton makes for an ideal base to relax whatever the weather.
Great location for exploring Cornwall, with some fantastic pubs, conveneince shop and post office within a couple of miles. Trethorne Golf Club only 4 miles away.

At the end of a narrow valley, surrounded by towering cliffs, backing into the village of Crackington, Crackington Haven Beach offers shelter from the elements but only by comparison to the exposed coastline. The beach is all rocks and shingle, and has a seasonal ban on dogs from Easter to October. There’s parking at the beach, so remember to take cash for pay and display, and there are two cafes, a pub, surf hire and toilet facilities close by. There’s also lifeguard cover in the height of summer.
Lovely location on a sunny day.

August 2019
Millook Beach
(11 miles)
Millook isn’t really a bathing beach but is well known amongst experience surfers, fishermen and those who enjoy some peace and quiet to observe the abundant wildlife – seals and dolphins are often spotted here as well as waders and birds of prey.

(11 miles)
(3)
Just a mile along the road from Tintagel lies Bossiney Cove, a beautiful hidden gem which is completely covered at high tide. Access to the beach is via a footpath over some farmland and then by steep steps down to the small sandy beach. At the right hand side of the cove there is a great cave to explore that is 60 feet high at the entrance, also see if you can spot the elephant rock hidden in the cliff face! This beach is dog friendly all year and parking can be found in a nearby layby at the top.
It’s closed off because of a rock fall. It would have been good to know this in advance.

Trebarwith Strand
(12 miles)
(6)
Two miles from Tintagel, Trebarwith Strand Beach on the north Coast of Cornwall is easily accessible and is owned by the National Trust. A long stretch of sand, it’s backed by flat rocks and steep cliffs, but check the tides before you visit because people often get cut off in the summer months. Once there, there are caves to explore and rock pools containing a wealth of sea life. It’s been the setting for a number of films in its time, but these days it’s all about swimming (when lifeguards are on duty between May and September) and exploring. Dogs are allowed on the beach all year round, and there are two car parks – the main one is a bit of a walk away, and a smaller one is closer to the beach. There’s also a handful of roadside parking spaces.
Great beach, you will need to check the tide times though The Port William is a good pub overlooking the beach with great views, there is also a small cafe
