Welcome
Longing for peace and quiet? Just wanting a
break from it all? Tom and Linda would like to invite you to come
and join us in Cornwall for a relaxing peaceful holiday. Sit back
and enjoy the breathtaking headland view from our park or take a stroll
through the nature reserve to our award winning sandy beach, only
a short woodland walk away. |
Our Park
Gwendreath Farm Holiday Park is a small quiet
park close to the tip of the Lizard Peninsula, the most southerly
point in England. We have a spectacular view of the sea and are surrounded
by miles of unspoilt coastline, with cliff walks and sandy coves,
preserved by the National Trust as a Conservation area and an Area
of Outstanding Natural Beauty. We do not have any noisy clubs, pubs,
bars, gaming machines, video machines or anything like that. In fact
we do find that some teenagers get bored on such a quiet park! |

Holiday Caravans
We have 21 holiday caravans on our tree
lined park spaced round the outside of a three acre field. This
gives ample space for sitting out to enjoy the view or simply
to park your car outside your caravan door.
The caravans are suitable for up to four people (including all
children and babies). All have two separate bedrooms and a shower
and toilet. |

Beach
Kennack Sands, renowned for it's silver
sand and safe bathing beach, is only a short woodland walk from
your caravan or can be reached by car. There is a car park right
on the edge of the beach with toilets and a cafe for a cup of
tea or coffee, a sandwich or even a hot Cornish pasty. It’s
a clean quiet family beach with shallow fascinating rock pools
teaming with many types of marine animals. These are left behind
as the tide goes out adding much interest to your day at the
beach. It has held the ENCAMS Rural Seaside Award for a number
of years guaranteeing a high standard for bathing water, beach
and facility cleanliness. |

Two Beaches
Kennack Sands is actually split into
two beaches by a headland. The second beach is approached by
a footpath behind the headland and is very quiet even in the
peak holiday period.
The clean sea waters are warmed by the Gulf Stream and some
people have even swum with the dolphins that it attracts. Dogs
are permitted on the eastern beach but the western beach is
dog free. If you're an early riser you might be lucky enough
to see the Seal Sanctuary releasing seals back into the wild.
The warm clear waters that come up from the Gulf of Mexico sweep
round the tip of Cornwall making sightings of seals, dolphins,
turtles and large but harmless basking sharks quite common.

Nature Reserve
Our beaches are reached by a short walk
through Gwendreath National Nature Reserve.
During your short stroll through the woods you can admire the
profusion of wild flowers such as primroses, bluebells, wild
daffodils and irises while your dog runs off the lead. |
