Have you had enough of 21st century Britain? Then stay in this well-equipped and comfortable hostel, perched on Glebe Cliff with stunning coastal views over Dunderhole Point. Walk the South West Coast Path, explore the 13th century remains of Tintagel Castle or just watch the wild seas crash over the rocks below. At low tide Trebarwith Strand is almost a mile long stretch of unbroken golden sand. The film industry has made good use of this fact over the years. If you approach Trebarwith along the coast path you will pass by Hole Beach, with its mountain goat like tracks that wend down the steep cliff to the beach. Also there are several old mine shafts along this stretch of coast that used to yield copper and tin as well as silver. One of these shafts has stalagmites and stalactites growing within, but you will have to find them yourself. The surfing here at Trebarwith can be awesome and the swimmers and rock poolers are well catered for so take note of the lifeguards requests. Click here for a surf guide to North Cornwall.
