Only a stone’s throw from the lively thrum of Newquay and surf hub of Bude, there is plenty to see and do nearby. That said, St Agnes proffers abundant activities to keep you entertained; make use of the four beaches waiting to be explored and stay on the lookout for the amazing wildlife that frequents the coast.
If you are holidaying with your tufty-pawed pal, Trevaunance Cove and Trevellas Porth welcome dogs 365 days of the year. In the shoulder seasons, stroll along Chapel Porth and Porthtowan Beach and trace sandy prints along the shore. Walking along the South West Coast Path, make sure you pay Wheal Coates a visit, and for more insight into the area’s heritage, stop at St Agnes Museum.
If you are staying in a holiday cottage in St Agnes in May, you should definitely make time to see the local Bolster Festival. Honouring one of Cornwall’s oldest legends, the Bolster Festival celebrates the death of a dastardly giant Bolster, who once wreaked havoc on the town by eating local children and unsuspecting travellers.
