Welcome to Rumford

Rumford is a small village located in the county of Cornwall, England. It is situated on the banks of the River Tamar and is surrounded by beautiful countryside. The village is known for its historic buildings, including the Rumford Manor House, which dates back to the 16th century. The village is also home to a number of small businesses, including a post office, a pub, and a convenience store.

One of the main attractions in Rumford is the Rumford Gorge, which is a popular spot for hiking and picnicking. The gorge is a narrow, steep-sided valley that is carved out of the granite bedrock by the River Tamar. The area is home to a variety of wildlife, including otters, kingfishers, and herons. Visitors can also enjoy fishing in the river, which is known for its salmon and trout.

Another popular attraction in Rumford is the Rumford Viaduct, which is a railway bridge that spans the River Tamar. The viaduct was built in the 19th century and is considered to be one of the most impressive engineering feats of its time. The bridge is still in use today and is a popular spot for train enthusiasts. Visitors can also walk across the bridge and enjoy the stunning views of the river and surrounding countryside.

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.
