What To Expect

Newquay

Our first stop of the day and a visit to the 'surfers paradise' of Newquay! (Cornish = Tewynblustri) Around 25,000 people live in Newquay but this swells to 100,000 or more in the summer. The town has been expanding inland since the former fishing village of New Quay began to grow in the second half of the nineteenth century, and the western edge of the town meets the Atlantic at Fistral Bay. We'll park up at Fistral Beach where hopefully conditions will be right to witness some surfing acfion whilst we get our bearings. Driving around the Grade 2 listed Headland Hotel we'll pay a visit to the Huer's Hut which has been described as "a particularly fine late mediaeval specimen". The Huer's Hut served as a lookout point from which a man known as a huer could keep watch for the arrival of the pilchards. It's a marvelous structure and there's a teriffic view from here of the North Coast of Cornwall stretching out into the distance. That's where we're headed...onwards!

If the sea-breeze gets too fresh, there are restrooms and cafes close by...
