About

Overlooking Polzeath in North Cornwall, Pentire headland remains mostly undeveloped and a coastal escape for visitors. Footpaths, including several accessible routes, criss-cross the headland offering spectacular views of the coast and countryside. Remnants of Iron Age ramparts can be seen at the Rumps and the scars of lead and silver mining are etched over the headland.

A restored, accessible sensory orchard provides the perfect place for picnics and play. An all terrain mobility scooter is available for hire in partnership with Countryside Mobility.

Today we are farming for the benefit of nature, supporting the abundance of wildflowers and a variety of wildlife and birds that have made Pentire their home.
