Distinctly atmospheric, Marsland Mouth is flanked by dramatic rocks and cliffs. One can often be the only person on the beach!

In finer weather it is an ideal place to collect driftwood, explore rock pools at low tide, light a barbecue and watch spectacular sunsets.

If you’re well wrapped up, even in wild weather, the sight of the stormy sea and thunderous sky at Marsland is an unforgettable experience.

It is truly a place in which to feel at one with the elements!

If a less energetic approach is required, one needs only drive for 5 minutes to the striking little cove of Duckpool. Situated at the end of beautiful Coombe Valley, Duckpool is popular with surfers and the favoured beach of the locals in Morwenstow. With fewer people than the main beaches, there is plenty of sand at low tide with many rock pools in which to catch crabs!

There are many more beaches to choose from; details of all of which are in the Official Bude Mini Guide.

Other places to visit in Morwenstow include the thirteenth century Bush Inn (walking time via the lanes, 20 minutes or along the coast path in 1 hour!), the quaint old National Trust owned Rectory Farm Tea rooms, who serve the most magnificent home made cream teas which are the perfect conclusion to a day at the beach or a brisk cliff walk! The village shop and post office is 20 minutes' walk.

Our local riding stables are a mile and a half away and there is no better way to see the countryside than on horseback! They are pleased to take riders at any level of experience including those with limited mobility.

Whilst Cory Farm is a real haven from the rush and stress of urban life, one does not have to travel far to rejoin the masses...!

There are four adventure theme parks within half an hours drive from us, the closest only four miles away. Bude is a bustling hive of activity day and night and a hot spot for surfing. With it’s beaches, surfing schools, cafés, trendy surf wear shops, tenpin bowling, lively pubs, restaurants and two night clubs, it’s a great place for young people. Factory outlet shopping at the Atlantic Village is 25 minutes' drive away.

Cornwall’s only city of Truro and attractions such as the Eden Project, Lost Gardens of Heligan and the popular fishing village of Padstow, made famous by Rick Stein’s enthusiasm for seafood, are all within 1½ hours drive from Morwenstow, as are many National Trust properties such as Lanhydrock and Cotehele.
