Out and About in Cornwall
Cornwall is full of exciting beaches and attractions for you and the family to visit so you’ll never find time to get bored. From surfing at Holywell Bay to the magnificent biodomes of the Eden Project, the huge array of activities offer something for everyone. For your convenience we’ve put together a small list of some of the more local attractions to Treworgans Holiday Park so that you can make the very most out of your stay with us.
1. Bedruthan Steps, St. Eval, Cornwall
Bedruthan Steps forms part of one of the most spectacular sections of the North Cornwall coast and is located a few miles east of Newquay. The cliffs at Bedruthan have been systematically eroded over the years, leaving a series of impressive volcanic rock stacks. The area around Bedruthan Steps is ideal for walking, particularly between Bedruthan and Carnewas. There are stunning views from the cliff tops.
Access to the beach is via a steep staircase, recently rebuilt by the National Trust. There is ample parking in the National Trust Car Park, a short walk from the cliff top. There is a National Trust Shop and a Café, for refreshments. Paths have been created across the cliff tops in an attempt to reduce the environmental impact that the numerous visitors have on the area.

2. Newquay Harbour, Newquay, Cornwall
Newquay Harbour in Cornwall is very much a working location for fishing and pleasure boats, it provides a safe location for bathing and enjoying the sights of fishermen going about their everyday business.
Grey seals from Cornwall spend the day basking in the sun in the calm green waters around Newquay harbour. You can often see them in groups on the rocks around Towan headland.
From Newquay harbour you can take a one hour pleasure trip across the bay, to see Newquay like you’ve never seen before – from the ocean. You have the option to unwind a Mackerel line and pull a few in for the Bbq – if you haven’t tasted fresh caught Cornish Mackerel … Do it soon.
If you are lucky… you could also see the dolphins in the Bay!
On the edge of Newquay Harbour is the New Harbour Restaurant. Unwind and enjoy the finest fresh seafood in Newquay. The evening specials very much depend on what the fishermen land that day!

6. The Eden Project, St Austell, Cornwall
The Eden Project does much more than offer a memorable day out in Cornwall. Eden is also a charity and social enterprise.
As well as creating stunning gardens and laying on fantastic arts and music events, much of their energy goes into promoting the understanding and responsible management of the vital relationship between plants, people and resources leading to a sustainable future for all.
The Eden Project was established as one of the landmark Millennium projects in the UK to mark the year 2000 and is structured as an educational charitable trust.
The Eden Project communicates its story in a ‘Living Theatre of Plants and People’ based in a large crater in which nestle two vast greenhouses (Biomes). These house plants, crops and landscapes from the humid tropics and warm temperate regions act as a backdrop to the temperate landscape, which we call the Outdoor Biome. Eden uses exhibitions, art, storytelling, workshops, lectures and events to put messages across to both the public and formal education groups.
