What is the history behind Carnewas at Bedruthan?

A scenic view of Padstow

Carnewas at Bedruthan offers coastal walks, unique geology, and a step into Cornwall’s history. Rock formations along the coast create spectacular cliff-top views, as sandstone “steps'' lead down to the sea. The area was believed to be tenanted by a giant named Bedruthan and stretches below Redcliffe Castle, a prehistoric promontory fort. Today, campers come to witness the dramatic coast, but due to dangerous currents, swimming is prohibited. Look for private camping parks, glamping pods, and rustic cottage rentals located within steps of the beach.

Hipcamp has the perfect pitch to match your camping style.
