Everything Is Within Driving Distance

Do you fancy Land’s End, the Lizard, St Austell, Truro, St Ives or Falmouth? You can make it all happen from Perranporth, which makes it even better as a base. With everything within easy driving distance of about an hour or less, you can explore essentially all of Cornwall from this super central, inland location. Perranporth is easy access to Tintagel, Boscastle and other interesting locations along the main motorway into Cornwall from Devon, making it easy to get to as well as away from.

The Eerie History Of The Moor

Located only about an hour from the supposedly haunted Bodmin Moor, home of the infamous Jamaica Inn, Perranporth is perfect for those who want to explore the history and natural areas that aren’t all sandy shoreline. Bodmin Moor is home to some great hiking and history as well as the potential to go on ghost tours at Jamaica Inn itself. Stop at the Inn for a meal and a pint – visit the smuggling museum and explore the sordid history of this area. You won’t soon forget the mystery of Jamaica Inn.

So there you have a couple of great reasons why Perranporth makes such a great base for those coming to Cornwall. Being in such close proximity to everything means you can really make the most of your time in the area. Enjoy!
