Pentire is an exceptionally beautiful headland with far reaching views and managed for wildlife.
We look forward to welcoming you to our new visitor facilities at Pentire headland. The main car park and most toilet facilities are open with the café opening soon. Coronavirus has impacted on our offer and we ask that social distancing guidelines are followed. You’ll find more information to help plan your visit here.
Overlooking Polzeath, a popular North Cornwall holiday destination, Pentire headland has been inhabited by humans since 4000BC but remains mostly undeveloped and a coastal escape for visitors.
The remnants of Iron Age ramparts can be seen at the Rumps and the scars of lead and silver mining are etched over the headland.
Our relationship with the land continues and today we are farming for the benefit of nature, supporting the abundance of wildflowers and a variety of wildlife and birds that have made Pentire their home.
Accessible routes over the headland offer spectacular views of the coast and countryside.

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:

| Tax refund from Government* | £2.75 | £0.00 |
