Portreath

In a quiet corner of Cornwall, the sun, the wind, the ocean and the cliffs, have come together to perform an ancient spell...theyve created and nurtured a magical little haven...
Portreath, the darling child of Cornwall, sits in beauty, and bewitches...

The Beach
The picturesque village of Portreath is blessed with a beautiful beach. You can relax on the fine, pale-gold sand and soak-in the warmth of the doting sun. And if you want some adventure, the glittering blue is just right for you to get on to your surf-board.!
You can enjoy a spot of quiet fishing and even take a dip in the clean waters. And children will love playing in the soft sand and the delightful rock-pools.

A Walk in the Wild
Tall ancient cliffs stand protectively around the pretty hamlet, patiently weathering the onslaught of the elements for centuries. Take a walk to the cliffs, and breathe in the lovely sea-air. Touch the ragged rocks, which have been etched with intriguing erosion patterns. Listen to the haunting calls of the wind and its winged friends. And feast your eyes on the brilliant bountiful of wild blooms.

You'll be transfixed.
As you leave behind the cliffs, and walk towards the countryside, the fresh air will fill your senses. The path leads through wondrous woodlands and pretty little ponds with crystal-clear water. The silence is broken only by the cries of buzzards, kittiwakes and sea-gulls. Scores of unnamed flowers blossom in a riot of colours. Delightful dainty butterflies flutter around looking like flying flowers.
The magic of the Portreath country-side will completely mesmerise you...

Tehidy Country Park
Tehidy Country Park is 250 acres of pure woodland magic! Ancient Ash, Alder, Oak, Beech, Sycamore, Birch, Japanese maple, Conifers and Chestnut trees stands tall and magnificent in this green glen. And Holly, Hazelnuts, Daffodils, Bluebells, Rhododendrons, Wild Garlic and beautiful ferns, play peek-a-boo between their old trunks.
Badgers, squirrels and rabbits scamper around. And graceful swans and quacking ducks glide in the lovely ponds. The park is home for hundreds of birds and youll have wonderful time spotting their endearing nests.
You can also hire horse-rides and rent out bicycles to go around this fabulous park. Tehidy Country Park is a beautiful natural haven that just shouldnt be missed!

Smugglers Cottages
This sixteenth-century cottage is a haunt of mystery and intrigue. This little cottage sits close to the beach and is said to be the home of the smugglers who thrived in the olde days. In 1950, when the cottage was being altered, a secret room was discovered. The room was hiding a rusting sword, an old sea-chest and a human skeleton, sitting on a table!
The locals will tell you fascinating tales of the ghost of a young man, who emerges from the wood panelling on the first floor, and disappears near the staircase!
