The UK summer holidays have arrived – long days, slower starts, and a welcome chance to get outside, enjoy time with the family, and soak up everything this season brings.

Here in North Cornwall, we’re lucky to call this landscape home. It’s where Timeless Spaces is based, and where we find constant inspiration – from coast to countryside. Whether you’re visiting or local, we’ve pulled together a few of our favourite ways to make the most of the summer months.

1. Wander the coastal path around Pentire point, Polzeath

Start the day on the coast path around Pentire Point. Beginning in Polzeath, this circular walk delivers fresh air, wide horizons and beautiful sea views. You might spot seals, dolphins, or kestrels overhead.

2. Sunset supper at The Beach Hut, Watergate Bay

The Beach Hut in Watergate Bay is all about great food and amazing views. As the sun dips, settle in with a seasonal menu and take in the golden light on the water. It’s relaxed, coastal living at its best.

3. Set sail with Wavehunters from Rock

Set off from Rock harbour and see the coast from a different angle with a Wavehunters sea safari. These boat trips offer the chance to spot dolphins and seabirds.

4. Potter through Port Isaac’s pretty streets

This postcard-perfect fishing village is known for its narrow lanes, whitewashed cottages, and sea shanties. Explore the harbour, stop for crab sandwiches, and enjoy the character of this little corner of the north coast.

5. Warm up and wind down at Harlyn

Over at Harlyn Bay, Saunas by the Sea have created a truly memorable experience – wood-fired saunas looking straight out to sea. It’s the perfect combination: warmth, salt air, and the buzz of a cold-water swim. And, if you’ve ever dreamt of having your own garden sauna, we can build one just for you.

6. Step into myth and legend at Tintagel Castle

Clinging to the cliffs and brimming with history, Tintagel Castle is the stuff of legends. Walk across the dramatic footbridge, take in the views, and imagine the stories this place has seen.

Book a coastal getaway

Looking for somewhere to stay in Cornwall? Many of our lovely customers offer their Timeless Space as places to stay – so you can experience one for yourself, here are 3 lovely staycations:

Little Lantic BnB in Fowey – Stay in a beautiful shepherd hut, close to the harbour town and right on the South West Coast Path.
The Sanctuary – A soulful woodland escape just outside Fowey, offering a cosy pod surrounded by nature.

Melrose – The Idle Hour – A beautiful shepherd hut with panoramic views over the North Cornish coast, just minutes from Trebarwith Strand and Tintagel. Set in its own private garden with a fire pit and campfire BBQ – your own peaceful slice of Cornwall.

Set the scene for summer at home

You don’t need to travel far to enjoy summer at its best. With a Timeless Gazebo and a fully equipped outdoor kitchen, it’s easy to create a space for long lunches, garden dinners and quiet evening drinks – with friends and family.

Some ideas for alfresco gathering in your own garden;
- A big seasonal sharing board - with selection of cheese and charcuterie
- Lanterns and solar lighting to create that evening glow
- Cushions, throws and a little music to set the tone
- A fire pit to warm up once the sun’s gone down

It’s a simple, beautiful way to spend more time outside – and make the most of the season.
