heritage coast

The Atlantic coast of Cornwall and Devon is far too wild and rugged to have been overdeveloped and commercialised. The boats still go out from the small fishing villages, artists still come here to paint and write poetry, there are still secluded coves where you can be alone for hours. The National Trust owns much of the coastline and helps preserve its magical nature. The South West Coast Path provides access to every inch of this spectacular coast and in places you can still see the remains of some of the thousands of ships that have been wrecked here.

History is visible all around and walking down the narrow lanes of Port Isaac to the sea you could believe you were in a time warp. Tintagel is a mystical place and whatever truth there is in the legend of King Arthur is to be found here. We will show you the pub which was the real Jamaica Inn. Smuggling still goes on today, though the cargoes have changed. The improbable natural harbour of Boscastle is home to the witchcraft museum while above the village is a medieval field system still in use today. We can help you find the most beautiful and intriguing places to visit, or just tell you the best picnic spots
