Welcome to Buttsbear Cross

Buttsbear Cross is a small hamlet located in the county of Cornwall, England. It is situated near the town of Launceston and is surrounded by beautiful countryside. The hamlet is named after a stone cross that stands at the crossroads in the center of the village. The cross is believed to date back to the 14th century and is a Grade II listed monument.

The hamlet of Buttsbear Cross is a quiet and peaceful place, with a small number of houses and farms. The surrounding countryside is perfect for walking and cycling, with many footpaths and bridleways to explore. The nearby Tamar Valley is a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and is home to a wide variety of wildlife, including otters, kingfishers, and buzzards.

Despite its small size, Buttsbear Cross has a strong sense of community, with regular events and activities taking place throughout the year. The village hall is a hub of activity, hosting everything from coffee mornings to yoga classes. The local pub, The White Hart, is a popular spot for locals and visitors alike, serving up delicious food and drink in a warm and welcoming atmosphere.

Watergate Bay
Watergate Bay Is A Two-Mile Stretch Of Golden Sand On The North Cornish Coast, Two Miles From Newquay. A Favourite With Surfers And People Flying Kites (Which Drove My Dog Crazy - Big Multi-Coloured Birds In The Sky!) It Is Dog-Friendly All Year Round. Jame Oliver Has A Restaurant Overlooking The Beach (Probably Not Dog-Friendly, I Don't Know). But The Beach Hut, Which Is Adjacent To The Sand, Is Very Dog-Friendly And Serves Locally Caught Mussels And Very Fine Hamburgers. I Visited In April But I Imagine This Place Gets Mobbed In August.
