Cornwall - Porth and Surrounds

This series of posts has been a long time coming! I visited Porth, near Newquay in North Cornwall at the end of September last year, and since coming home I have intended on creating some designs and showing photos taken on my trip, however, I spent the lead up to christmas knitting baubles!

I was able to visit a number of attractions whilst in the area, and these are what the next few posts will be based around.

Firstly, this one, about the area in which I stayed. I stopped in a static caravan on Porth Beach Holiday Park, which I would greatly recommend! It's just across the road from Porth Beach itself and under two miles from Newquay. 

I found it a great base to explore the area, with all of the beaches nearby, plus, easy access by road heading East towards Truro and St. Austell.

I'll leave you with some photos I took in the surrounding areas, most of which are in walking distance of the park.
