I've stayed at Watergate Bay Hotel several times, and it makes an excellent base for exploring this spectacular stretch of North Cornwall. Here are two of my favourite walks around Bedruthan Steps, Porth Mear and Porthcothan.

Follow one of Cornwall's loveliest coastal walks from peaceful Talland Bay to the picture-postcard fishing village of Polperro. This rewarding stretch of the South West Coast Path offers dramatic sea views, hidden coves, rich wildlife and plenty of opportunities to pause, explore and enjoy one of the county's most memorable seaside rambles.
