Portreath, originally a small fishing village, is nestled in a sheltered valley between majestic cliffs on the north Cornish coast. Iconic Gull Rock stands a few hundred metres from the sandy beach offering the pleasures of safe swimming, surfing and bodyboarding.
A perfect retreat all year round, self catering holidays in Portreath offer beautiful coastal walks along the spectacular cliffs towards St Ives Bay passing Deadman’s Cove, Ralph’s Cupboard and Hell’s Mouth, all bearing testament to tales of shipwrecks and smuggling. Portreath’s first harbour was built in 1713 by mining adventurers needing a port for their minerals. The remnants of the second harbour that made Portreath a coastal port in 1760 still exist today. From your holiday cottage in Portreath, follow The Mining Trail cycle path that follows the old tram lines across the county to Devoran resting on Restronguet Creek just a few miles from Truro Cathedral. Illogan Woods is adjacent to Portreath with picturesque bubbling streams and a circular walk leading to the 14th century church tower of Illogan.
Just outside Portreath, Tehidy Country Park has 250 acres of woodland, lakes, bridleways, cycling and nature trails with several ponds and a lake with an array of waterfowl. With excellent road links, you can easily reach Truro, Newquay, St Ives, Eden Project and the Lost Gardens of Heligan. Holiday cottages in Portreath make a great base from which to explore all that Cornwall has to offer.
