Transport

  • London sleeper train (in either direction you get on the train and into your sleeper cabin, about 11pm and get to Truro / Paddington about 6am)
    Tel 08457 000 125 (Saver and Super Saver tickets are flexible)
  • Train time tables (4:15 Truro to Paddington)
  • Flights, AirSouthWest & RyanAir to Gatwich and Stantstead respectivly.
    Flights, BMI baby fly to Birmingham & Durham Tees
  • Private airfield just south of Perranporth (for Jane & Rob to use or sky dive from ?)
  • From the property, turn right and the end of the road is less than 100m away. At the end is the cliff top sun dial with a path down to the beach, or head the other way and walk along the cliff tops.
  • The beach is about 3 miles long, backed by sand dunes. Most of the beach is covered when the tide comes in.
  • Dogs are allowed all year (the beach is part of the Cornwall coastal path so they can't ban dogs :-)
  • Kitesurfing and land boards in designated areas. The beach faces ENE, so perfect for the UK dominant wind from the SW.

This picture was taken from up on the dunes. By the golf course.


The tide is about as low as it gets in this shot.

This picture was taken from the Watering Hole (the pub on the beach).
