The safety of our staff, volunteers and visitors from the nearby community remains our priority and we urge you to book your visits in advance and stay local.

Autumn in north Cornwall 

The changing colours of the coast make autumn an ideal time to explore new places or return to old favourites, enjoying them afresh. We invite you to swap your flip flops for your wellies and find some inspiration on things you could do here.

Experience more with National Trust membership 

As we gradually and safely open more of the places we care for, there’ll be more opportunities to explore gardens and parklands near you. If you’re a member, you can access all these places free, together with most National Trust car parks. It’s so important for everyone to have fresh air, birdsong, big skies and open spaces to enjoy.
