18-22 October: Cornwall MIDWEEK MEET

As we needed to find an alternative venue for October, we have booked the NT’s Penrose Bunkhouse for four nights from Monday 18 October. This is a departure from our normal modus operandi but it gives us extra nights at a reasonable price close to, but not in half term holidays and before the clocks change.

It’s located right on the South West Coast Path at Chyvarloe in Cornwall. Simple, but with all the basic facilities you’d expect from a holiday property, the bunkhouse is heated by a wood burning stove in the living room. But with spectacular sea views, you probably won’t be spending much time indoors.

Enjoy a bracing cliff-top stomp along the coast path, or, for something a little quicker, jump on your bike and head out along one of the marked trails on the Penrose estate and around nearby Porthleven.

With so much on your doorstep, including a beautiful beach at Gunwalloe, you needn’t stray too far. But magnificent West Cornwall has a lot to offer, not least the spectacular Lizard peninsula, mainland Britain’s most southerly point.
