Not all National Trust properties are open yet, and those that are require pre-booking via their website, no later than 15:00 on the day prior to visit.

If you, or any of your party have a new persistant cough, or develop a fever of 38C, we would instead advise you to use the NHS's dedicated website for professional advice.

Port Quin

Port Quin and nearby Port Gaverne were once bustling fishing ports on the rugged north Cornwall coast. Today, Port Quin is a peaceful, sheltered inlet. Surrounded by spectacular coastline, Port Quin Bay sweeps westwards towards the distinctive headland of the Rumps.
Heading west you’ll find Epphaven Cove and alongside Lundy Bay, sitting in a secluded valley thriving with rich flora and fauna. This tranquil spot is perfect for bird watching and is a haven for butterflies and wild flowers.
If you head towards Polzeath you’ll discover Pentire Point and The Rumps, views of which inspired First World War poet Lawrence Binyon. Once mined for lead the long deserted mine shafts are now home to the greater horseshoe bat.
