| Every day including summer Sundays Western National buses run between Bude and Newquay - via Boscastle, Tintagel, Port Isaac, Trelights, Polzeath, Rock, Wadebridge, and Padstow - and connections further afield. For coast path walks, there are several convenient points at which to alight. You can walk the coast path in short sections by driving to a car park, taking the bus and returning to your car on foot. |

| Two of the best beaches in North Cornwall are at Polzeath (5 miles away) and Daymer Bay (6 miles away). Port Gaverne (0.5 miles) is a quieter smaller beach with caves, a haven when the busier beaches are crowded. | |||||||||||||||||||||
