And we are off again, after a 3.5 year break, in our pursuit of visiting every beach in the UK. We have just got a week so decided to head up to the northern most point of the east coast of Cornwall in the hope that this lovely September weather holds.

After a tedious traffic bound trip to Truro the rest of the journey to Cremyll was a breeze. Cremyll is no more than a few houses on the edge of the Mount Edgcumbe Country Park with a small car park, pub and a pedestrian ferry across to Plymouth.

We followed the Coastal Path through the Mount Edgcumbe estate to find our next beach Barn Pool….

We took a circular route back to catch a glimpse of Mount Edgcumbe (it would have been rude not to!).

Before heading off to our next stop the beautiful villages of Cawsand and Kingsand.

After a sit in the sun with an ice cream it was time to make our way to our first site of the trip at Maker Heights.

A rather basic site – just pitch up anywhere in the field with views over the hedgerows and across the Tamar to Plymouth or over the valley with glimpses of Cawsand and Kingsand. The camping field is a bit rough and ready but there is an excellent shower / toilet block an indoor common room / pot wash / reception. A cafe on site and wood fired pizzas in the evenings at weekends and plenty of stuff going on at the main exhibition building just a short walk way – not bad for £12 per night.
