Discover A Hidden Corner of Cornwall
In a county with an abundance of beaches, there are some that are world famous and then there are some under-the-radar. Holywell Bay Beach on Cornwall’s north coast is the latter. White sand flanked by wildly gorgeous sand dunes meets a gentle stream leading down to rolling waves and hidden caves. On a sunny day, the sea looks positively Caribbean making it almost irresistible for a dip.
This summer escape the crowds and stay at Trevornick Holiday Park. A place that has it all. Choose from generous camping and touring pitches or Ready Tents to contemporary static caravans and cosy cottages to luxury lodges. Here, everyone is welcome including the dog and family friendly facilities mean when it’s time to pull yourself away from the beach, there’s still so much to do.
hink rounds of golf, an open-air heated swimming pool, a splash zone for little ones, an onsite restaurant, football golf, spa facilities, late night entertainment plus so much more. If you want to holiday your way this year, book a stay in one of Cornwall’s quieter spots – Trevornick Holiday Park.

The south coast is gentler, historic fishing villages, small sheltered coves and green fields running down to the water's edge.
Whichever coast you choose, you will receive a warm welcome, and if you do get bored, it's never much more than an hour's drive from one side to the other.
Travel to Cornwall by car
It takes less than five hours to get from London or Birmingham to the heart of Cornwall by car.
Drive along the M4 motorway from London, or M6 from Manchester, and then the M5 to Exeter and finally either the A30, that is mostly dual carriageway, or the A38 passing Plymouth and Saltash into South East Cornwall.
Alternatively if you enter Cornwall from North Devon, there is the scenic A39 Atlantic Highway running through Bude, which you can join from Junction 27 on the M5.
Due to the high volume of traffic on Cornwall's roads during the summer months the main routes can become congested especially at weekends. Travelling overnight or outside peak rush hours is recommended to avoid long delays.

PLEASE BE AWARE. Sat-Navs can lead you to some wonderful places in Cornwall, many of them down narrow country lanes with high hedges and few reversing points. If you are not sure...don't go on. Better to turn around and find another route than end up lost in the middle of nowhere.
