Welcome to Holywell

Holywell is a small village located on the north coast of Cornwall, England. It is known for its beautiful sandy beach, which is popular with both locals and tourists. The beach is surrounded by high cliffs and sand dunes, providing a stunning backdrop for a day at the seaside. Holywell is also home to a number of small cafes and shops, making it a great place to spend a lazy afternoon.

One of the main attractions in Holywell is the Holywell Bay Fun Park. This family-friendly amusement park features a range of rides and attractions, including a giant slide, bumper boats, and a mini-golf course. There is also a small zoo on site, where visitors can see a variety of animals, including meerkats, wallabies, and monkeys. The park is open from April to October and is a great place to spend a fun-filled day with the family.

For those who enjoy walking, Holywell is a great place to explore. The village is located on the South West Coast Path, which runs along the entire length of the Cornish coast. There are a number of walks that start in Holywell, including a circular walk that takes in the beach, the cliffs, and the surrounding countryside. The views from the top of the cliffs are breathtaking, and there are plenty of opportunities to spot wildlife along the way, including seals, dolphins, and a variety of seabirds.

Local Dog Walks

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.
