LOCATION This is a location that will prove popular with those seeking a family home or holiday home due to the nature of the elevated west facing position that enjoys the best of the afternoon sun, the wonderful sunsets and amazing views across countryside to the Atlantic Ocean. This coastal area is popular with many, due to the fantastic walks that can be enjoyed along
4 the South West Coastal Footpath, taking in the rugged cliff tops and the beautiful beaches. The nearest beach at Bossiney Haven just below the property and further to the south is the delightful beach at Trebarwith Strand. The nearby town of Tintagel is famous for its castle ruins that stand on the cliffs nearby, thought by some to have belonged to King Arthur. This area has undoubtedly been the home of Cornish kings/princes and the coastline has been used as a location for several films including Dracula. Tintagel provides numerous shops including a post office, delicatessen, two small supermarkets and an ironmonger together with a large doctor s surgery and several inns/restaurants. The large towns to the north and south are Bude and Wadebridge both of which provide further shopping facilities. Tintagel has its own primary school and secondary schooling is available in the nearby town of Camelford. Trethevey is a small semi rural hamlet situated on the coastal road between Tintagel and Boscastle as you rise up out of Rocky Valley which is a peaceful haven for wildlife with an attractive stream that runs through a steep wooded valley creating a waterfall at the renowned beauty spot of St Nectan s. Where the stream meets the Atlantic Ocean there is an attractive cove where it is possible to swim and fish from the rocks. Much of the coastline in this area is under stewardship of the National Trust which should preserve its unspoilt nature for many years into the future.
