PORTH CORNWALL | Full tour of Porth Beach near Newquay in Cornwall.
Porth, Cornwall is a charming little seaside holiday village nestled near the popular town of Newquay. While its history as a port handling coal and other goods is fascinating, Porth has transformed into a delightful spot for relaxation and exploration.
A Beach Paradise: Porth's golden sands are the undeniable main attraction. This expansive beach is a haven for families with its calm waters and gentle waves, perfect for splashing around or building sandcastles. Surfers can catch waves at the more exposed western end, while rockpool enthusiasts will find a treasure trove of marine life revealed at low tide. Amenities like cafes and a pub are conveniently located nearby, offering refreshments and post-beach meals. Be sure to keep your canine companion on a leash between May and September to protect nesting birds.
Walkers Paradise: Porth is a walker's paradise. The South West Coast Path, a long-distance walking trail that traverses the entire Cornish coastline, passes right through the village. This path offers stunning coastal vistas and the chance to commune with nature. If you prefer shorter rambles, there are numerous well-maintained trails that weave through the surrounding countryside, leading past lush woods, quaint farms, and a peaceful creek.
A Glimpse into the Past: Porth boasts a rich history that stretches back centuries. Evidence suggests settlements have existed here for over 700 years. The old 19th-century buildings that once housed villagers have been transformed into charming holiday cottages, offering a glimpse into the area's past. History buffs will be particularly interested in the remains of an Iron Age fort perched on the cliffs north of the beach, a testament to the area's ancient inhabitants.
Porth, Cornwall combines a beautiful beach, scenic walking trails, and a touch of history, making it an ideal destination for a relaxing and unforgettable seaside escape.
