Two amazing sandy beaches on the Roseland peninsula
From end of Tuesday 24 March, we closed all our car parks to further restrict the spread of coronavirus. This followed the decision to close our parks and gardens in addition to our houses, shops and cafes. We urge people to stay local and observe social distancing. Please do not travel.
Two of the best family beaches on the Roseland peninsula, with fine stretches of sand and rock pools. Walk along the coast and inland to discover the rich wildlife around; it's a butterfly and bird watchers paradise.
Take a walk inland behind Carne beach to discover the remains of an iron age settlement sitting at the base of the Beacon, telling the story of how people once lived and worked. On nearby Nare Head are clues to its use in the second work war and Cold War. Up on the coast path you may stumble upon tiny ramshackled 'Mallets Cottage' where you can stop a while to catch your breath, stare out to sea and imagine life in earlier times.
Most of our places run the Gift Aid on Entry scheme at their admission points.
Under this scheme, if you're not a member you have the choice of two entry tickets:
If the place runs Gift Aid on Entry, we'll offer you a clear choice between the Gift Aid Admission prices and the Standard Admission prices at the admission point. It's entirely up to you which ticket you choose.
Gift Aid Admission includes a 10 per cent or more voluntary donation. Gift Aid Admissions let us reclaim tax on the whole amount paid - an extra 25 per cent - potentially a very significant boost to our places' funds.
An extra £1 paid under the scheme can be worth over £3 to the National Trust as shown below:
| Gift Aid | Standard | |
|---|---|---|
| Amount paid by visitor | £11.00 | £10.00 |
| Tax refund from Government* | £2.75 | £0.00 |
| Total received by the National Trust | £13.75 | £10.00 |

Please note that our car parks are closed further to restrict the spread of coronavirus.
