Coronavirus (COVID-19)

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.

Holywell

Only a stone's throw from the popular seaside towns of Perranporth and Newquay, Holywell and the surrounding coast offers you a haven of beaches, common land and coastline to explore.
Exposed rocky headlands sit alongside a spectacular sandy beach, perfect for surfing or making sandcastles. Discover the hidden gem that is Porth Joke, a small cove that remains untouched by commercialism.
There's lots of history to discover including the remains of an Iron Age castle on Kelsey Head, a Bronze Age barrow on Cubert Common and the holy well in a cave on the beach.
This is popular walking country with coastal routes taking in the contrasts of Kelsey Head and Cubert Common. Visitors to West Pentire in the early summer can catch sight of spectacular displays of wild flowers.
