The morning light catches on the estuary waters below as skylarks rise from the coastal fields surrounding this working farm site, their song drifting across pitches that slope gently toward Cornwall's spectacular south coast. Wood smoke might punctuate the salt air—campfires are worth asking about when you arrive at this unpretentious spot near Lanteglos-by-Fowey.
This is a place for campers who value location and simplicity over extensive amenities, perfectly positioned for exploring the South West Coast Path and the historic harbour town of Fowey. The setting puts you within striking distance of secluded coves and the winding creeks of this beautiful stretch of Cornwall, where wooded valleys meet the sea and the literary legacy of Daphne du Maurier still haunts the landscape.
Chuchtown Farm welcomes tents, campervans, and caravans onto its grassy fields, maintaining that traditional farm campsite character where the focus is firmly on the outdoors. Facilities are basic, so come prepared for a back-to-basics experience. The vibe is quiet, rural, and refreshingly uncommercialised—ideal for those seeking a genuine Cornish coastal escape without the crowds.

Loops through ancient woodland above the Fowey estuary with stunning river views and glimpses of Polruan village below. Mostly flat to gentle terrain on well-maintained National Trust paths, ideal for families and manageable with sturdy buggies on drier days. Dogs welcome on leads near livestock. The combination of maritime scenery, historic smugglers' routes, and sheltered woodland makes this a lovely year-round coastal walk without the usual clifftop climbs.
Loops from Polruan village along dramatic clifftop paths to National Trust-owned Lantic Bay with steep descents to hidden coves, then returns inland via wooded creeks. Terrain is hilly with significant climbs and uneven coastal sections—not suitable for buggies or very young children. Dogs welcome but keep on leads near livestock and cliff edges. Rewards with stunning South Cornwall views and a gorgeous sandy beach if you fancy the scramble down.
