Namparra Campsite

The air here smells of salt and gorse, carried on a breeze that never quite stops — this is proper Cornish coast country, raw and open.

Namparra suits campers who like things simple: tents pitched on grass, campervans welcome, and a landscape that does the talking. It's the kind of spot for walkers who want coastal paths on the doorstep, families happy with buckets and rockpools over kids' clubs, and anyone who'd rather wake to birdsong than shower block chatter. Dogs are welcome by arrangement, so worth a quick call ahead if you're bringing yours. Cornwall's clifftop drama and tucked-away coves are the real draw here — this is a base for getting out and exploring, not a destination in itself.

Facilities aren't listed in detail, so it's worth checking what's onsite when you arrive — same goes for campfires, which may be allowed depending on conditions and pitch location. Expect a back-to-basics feel, the kind of campsite where you remember why you started camping in the first place.

South West Coast Path (Section 27: The Lizard to Coverack)

Follows dramatic clifftop terrain with frequent steep ascents and descents through hidden coves and headlands—definitely not buggy-friendly and challenging for young children due to the gradient and rugged ground. Dogs welcome on leads near livestock and cliff edges. Rewards with spectacular coastal views across Mounts Bay, rare Cornish heath vegetation, and access to secluded beaches like Kennack Sands, making it one of Cornwall's most scenic but demanding stretches of the South West Coast Path

Mills, fishing and serpentine walk

Meanders through historic Hayle's industrial heritage along flat, easy paths following the old mills and waterways. Perfect for families with buggies and young children – mostly paved or compacted surfaces with minimal incline. Dogs welcome on leads near the water. Highlights include remnants of Cornwall's mining past, birdwatching opportunities along the estuary, and surprisingly peaceful riverside sections despite being close to town. A gentle, accessible stroll that combines industrial archae

Medieval mills & a ruined Victorian factory walk near Lizard Point

Follows a short, flat coastal path past historic mill ruins and a collapsed Victorian serpentine factory above Kynance Cove. Ideal for families with buggies and young children – firm surface, minimal incline, dramatic clifftop views throughout. Dogs welcome on leads near livestock. Worth it for the industrial heritage and stunning Lizard Peninsula scenery compressed into under 2km, plus easy access to Kynance's famous turquoise waters.
