With its Celtic roots, crumbly Cornish pasties and scenic
setting, the delightful village of Crantock offers the finest
ingredients for an unforgettable family holiday.
Located just south of Newquay on the Gannel Estuary,
Crantock is one of Cornwall's best-kept secrets, where
you'll find pretty thatched cottages, a village green and well,
gift shops and tearooms and a couple of atmospheric pubs made for
convivial gatherings. What's more, wherever your
Crantock holiday cottage happens to be, you'll
never be far from the sweeping sands of Crantock Beach.
Sheltered by rugged headland and sandy dunes, while away the
days surfing, sunbathing, sandcastle building - whatever takes your
fancy. Or stride out along the South West Coastal Path, winding its
way over the peninsula, laden with wild flowers and rare species of
plants. You can follow this walk to a gorgeous little cove known as
Polly Joke, stopping for refreshments along the way at a welcoming
pub.
Crantock village is a delight to explore - much of it (and the
neighbouring region) protected by the National Trust. View
exquisite wood carvings inside the beautifully restored Norman
church. Relax in the tranquil surroundings of the Round Garden, a
lovely orchard right in the village centre.
