Things to do

A unique, cosy retreat where the river meets the sea. On the South West Coast Path the superb coastal scenery of the area provides excellent walking country and lovers of literature will appreciate the local Thomas Hardy connections. Much of the around this picturesque north Cornish harbour and village is owned by the National Trust, including the cliffs of Penally Point and Willapark which guard the sinuous harbour entrance, Forrabury Common, high above the village and divided into ancient ‘stitchmeal’ cultivation plots, and large areas of woodland and meadow in the lovely Valency Valley
