St Merryn and the Surrounding Area

St Merryn Park is situated just a couple of miles from the popular estuary town of Padstow, noted for its busy harbour, celebrated seafood restaurants and local festivals. Coastal walks, water sports, cycle trails and golf courses are all close by. St Merryn Park is within easy reach of the main A30 route, Newquay and Wadebridge.

The coastline boasts some of the most spectacular beaches in North Cornwall, and St. Merryn’s slogan ‘7 bays for 7 days’ illustrates the multitude of coves available, including Harlyn Bay, Constantine and Treyarnon. It's a superb location for a self-catering Cornwall holiday!
