For it's sheer diversity of landscape this group of National Trust properties is hard to beat. Exposed rocky headlands, sandy surfing
beaches, enormous dunes, common land, stream-side habitats, a tidal estuary, mudflats and a patch of woodland are all found in one relatively small part of North Cornwall and they are all to be found when you walk from
Newquay to Holywell Bay. |

If you walk in the opposite direction, east towards Padstow, you will be walking along the windswept cliffs and dramatic coastline
taking in Lusty Glaze, Porth, Whipsiderry and then on to Watergate Bay and Mawgan Porth. Alternatively you could park here and then walk on to Bedruthan Steps. There is an awesome nobility about the view across the
famous wave-swept stacks. Man seems to have had little influence on this scene and along two miles of this exciting coastline are six Bronze Age Barrows, two Iron Age Cliff Castles and a nineteenth century Iron Mine.
