2020 Cornish Favourites
Some of the most popular Cornish locations visited by our hirers in our VW campervans.
Freebird Campers classic VW campervans have been out and about this summer enjoying the delights of Cornwall. These are just a few of the favourites that our hirers have been to.
Tintagel Castle, the legendary Cornish castle with links to the stories of King Arthur. Cross the spectacular new bridge and explore the history-rich headland. Walk among the castle ruins that still cling to the cliffs, and meet Gallos – the striking bronze statue of an ancient king who keeps watch over the wild seas below. Watch The video to see the new bridge’s amazing story.
Port Isaac, a picturesque fishing village with quaint narrow, winding streets. Renown for having one of the narrowest thoroughfares in Britain, the aptly named Squeezy Belly Alley! This is why we recommend you park your VW camper at the top car park and enjoy a stroll down into Port Isaac! The village has become a popular location for both films and television series. The village is possibly best known as the fictional Portwenn from the ITV television series Doc Martin starring Martin Clunes.
Further down into Cornwall
St Ives, the jewel in Cornwall’s crown, fishing harbour and seaside town. Voted best family holiday destination by Coast magazine and one of TripAdvisor’s top 10 European beaches. You can wander through the maze of narrow cobbled streets, independent shops and fisherman’s cottages in the heart of St Ives. Surf at the blue flag-rated Porthmeor beach and feel the soft sand between your toes, or set off on an inspiring walk along the coastal path towards Land’s End. These adventures are all reachable if you hire one of our classic VW campers to stay in.
Padstow, Once you have explored the town and the huge selection of eateries and shops you can walk or cycle the Camel Trail toward Wadebridge, Bodmin and beyond. Take a stroll along the Southwest Coast Path towards one of several sandy beaches or take the ferry across the river to Rock.
