Living in North Cornwall means waking up surrounded by some of Britain’s most stunning scenery. The coastline stretches for miles, from family-friendly sandy beaches to hidden rocky coves waiting to be explored. Around Newquay, the area is famous as the UK’s surfing capital, where beginners and seasoned surfers alike can catch waves, join surf schools, or hire boards and wetsuits for a fun day out on the water.
Further inland, there’s Bodmin Moor – a wilder side of Cornwall. As the county’s highest and least populated area, it’s home to ancient stone circles and fascinating legends, including sites like The Hurlers, which date back thousands of years.
Food lovers are well catered for, too. From famous restaurants to traditional Cornish pasty shops and farm-to-table cafes, the region makes the most of its local produce. Weekly markets in towns such as Wadebridge offer fresh local produce, handmade goods, and a real taste of Cornish life.

MAKING YOUR HOME IN NORTH CORNWALL
While North Cornwall’s remote beauty is part of its appeal, the region is better connected than many expect. The Cornish main line runs through central Cornwall with branch lines to key coastal towns like Newquay, making rail travel to London Paddington and other major cities straightforward.
The A30 serves as North Cornwall’s main arterial route, connecting the region to the M5 and providing relatively quick access to Exeter, Bristol, and beyond. Local roads wind through spectacular countryside, making every journey a scenic experience.
Local bus services connect major towns, including Bodmin and Wadebridge, but many residents prefer having a car to explore the more remote beaches, moorland walks, and hidden corners that make North Cornwall so special.
For flights, Newquay Cornwall Airport has seasonal connections across the UK and Europe, while Exeter Airport provides more options for longer trips.
