St Tudy, a quaint village in North Cornwall, is nestled in a densely wooded valley beside the River Camel. St Tudy is a great starting point for exploring both the coast and the countryside, being just over seven miles from Port Isaac and a few miles from Bodmin Moor. One of the most popular 17-mile riverside bike trails in Cornwall, the Camel Trail runs from Bodmin Moor to Padstow through St Tudy, which has a tiny shop, post office and pub called the St Tudy Inn. Tintagel Castle, Pinetum Park and Pine Lodge Gardens, Lanhydrock House and Gardens, and Pencarrow House and Gardens are all nearby attractions. Visit Port Isaac, a small village with winding, tiny streets and quaint harbour views, or head farther south to Newquay, a surfing haven, or the gentler sands of Polzeath Beach.
