Bude is situated in North Cornwall, right next to the Devon border. Often compared to Newquay, Bude is a more toned-down version rather than being loud, it’s more of a family-orientated vibe. Bude is a quite compact seaside village with stunning beaches filled with families but doesn’t take long to escape the crowds and find the roads that lead up to the stunning views along the coast.
Kynance Cove is located on the west side of the Lizard in West Cornwall, arguably the most photographed and painted location in Cornwall, the contrast between the rocky cliff tops, the golden sand beach, and the clear blue seas takes your breath away.
At low tide you can explore the towering rock stacks and caves which are usually covered when the tide is high, once you’re done exploring you can then have some lunch at the eco-friendly cafe, choose from a few Cornish favorites like Cornish pasties, fresh sandwiches, baguettes, homemade cakes, and afternoon tea then head down the beach for some family fun.
Owned and looked after by the wonderful Nation Trust, thanks to their members and volunteers they’re able to keep this wonderful location in tip-top shape. Parking is also free for National Trust Members and can be quite difficult during the summer months, we recommend arriving early morning or early evening to avoid disappointment but fortunately, there are many other beaches near Kynance like Housel Bay, Pentreath Beach, Kennack Sands Beach, and more.
Chapel Pool is a tidal pool located in the South East of Cornwall and this natural pool is nothing short of beautiful. We have taken many cold water swims at Chapel pool and loved each and everyone, the perfect afternoon in winter or summer.
