Whilst North Cornwall has the more energetic coastline of the county, making it particularly suitable for surfing and other water sports, it also comprises of the beautiful sands of Newquay and Bude, to name but a few of those famous for their golden dunes.

Steeped in mystery and folklore, such as the legends of King Arthur and tales of Cornish Witchcraft, be sure to take a trip to St Michaels Mount near Marazion and learn about the myths of giants long ago.
