Sightseeing and lovely places to spend the day
This place changes dramatically with the tides. At high tide you can watch the waves from the rocks, at low tide a mile long beach of soft sand is revealed. Absolutely stunning. The Port William Inn is fab too.

Stunning location, steeped in history. A must see. (It is recommended you book your tickets in advance - English Heritage) Otherwise, you can walk along the coast and down to the small beach by Merlin's Cave without having to book.

The pub itself is cosy, relaxed and charming. Actually the closest pub/restaurant to us and well worth a visit. If you fancy a walk it is just down the hill from Treknow, which is just down Trelake lane from Trewarmett.(about 10 minutes walk there, but a bit longer back depending on how much you have had to drink!)
