The ancient little village of Crantock is found just south of Newquay.  This charming spot offers a post office and general store for all the essentials, snug pubs and craft shops as well as a beautiful old parish church and chapel.  The broad golden sands of Crantock Bay were recently voted no.1 best beach in the Telegraph Travel Supplement and West Pentire headland is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty with glorious wild flowers and wildlife. Nearby you’ll also find ‘Polly Joke’ a smaller beach (look out for the resident Jackdaws!) and both are great for swimming, rock pooling and exploring the local caves, plus the South West Coast path passes nearby.
