Crantock in Cornwall boasts a beautiful National Trust beach with a vast expanse of sand and backed by dunes – quieter than next-door Newquay. This Cornish village is packed with history; its main pub, the Old Albion, is a 400 year old thatched building, and you can still see the village stocks behind the ancient church.

Choose a holiday cottage in Crantock, and discover the charms of this beautiful part of Cornwall. Book surf lessons at one of the schools on Crantock beach.
