This is one of our family favourites. It’s a National Trust garden. You walk down through the gardens to Durgan beach. We like to pack a back pack each with lunch and our swimming costumes and swim at the bottom. Then we walk back up visiting the maze and the “giants stride” rope swing. We visit the tea rooms for an icecream. It’s very tropical with stunning views.

One of two slip and slides near us. Recommend you do this one if you’re visiting North Cornwall. It would tie in well with a visit to Port Isaac, Tintagel or Wadebridge. You can book your place ahead as it gets busy in the holidays.
