Superb coastal views
We have just returned from a week on this terrific site. The coastal views from virtually all the pitches are stunning. The site is very well maintained and cared for. The wardens, who we gather have just started at this site, could not have been more welcoming and helpful. We were there primarily for a family wedding, which was held in St Materiana's Church on top of the hill overlooking Tintagel Castle - another stunning location with easy cliff top walks from the church (limited parking there). The reception was held at the Boscastle Farm Shop, about a mile on the north side of Boscastle. It was one of the best meals we have had for a long time - well worth sampling for a lunchtime visit (booking advised).
Being on top of the cliff, the CC site is exposed to the wind, both on- and off- shore. We were caught out by unforecast gale force off-shore winds associated with a rainfront one evening/night. The hardstandings are very hard and thus my rockpegs and screws were perhaps not fully embedded and we found our Kampa air porch awning waving about halfway along the awning rail when we returned after a brief outing. Fortunately the awning has survived its experience without any damage. I said that the winds were not forecast - they were not mentioned in any of the local (land) forecasts, but I later found they had been predicted in the shipping forecast. So the moral of this story is - when camped on the coast keep an eye on the shipping forecast!
