Sailing is available at Roadford and Tamar Lakes, and harbours all along the coast. There are delightful beaches on the North Cornish coast, the nearest being Bude, 13 miles away, offering excellent surfing and miles of cliff walks. There is a network of bridleways and country lanes in the area, and the Tarka trail and Granite way are only 20 minutes away.
