Traditional, peaceful and a warm welcome from the locals...

North Cornwall is one of the England's most beautiful spots. Steeped in history with a rugged coastline and many historic sites. Chapel Amble is a perfect base to explore the surrounding area.

In the local area are numerous safe beaches, with Polzeath recommended for surfing, Daymer Bay for wind surfers, and Rock for sailing and water-skiing. All within 10 minutes drive.

The Historic fishing village of Port Isaac is some 5 miles away, and places such as Tintagel, and Boscastle are worth visiting.

The coastal walks are breathtaking, Bodmin Moor is some 8 miles away, or a short walk of 2 miles from the Barn will bring you to the Camel Estuary.

What's to do?: Within easy reach are golf courses, horse riding, pony trekking and steam railways. Another must is the ferry from Rock to Padstow. Energetic people may wish to cycle the 15 mile Camel trail (you can hire bikes in Padstow and Wadebridge)

Cornwall is steeped in history and you will not fail to feel the magic of this beautiful county.
