Court Wood

Dense woodland stretches across the hillsides near Trenedden, offering proper walking country away from Cornwall's busier coastal paths. Court Wood feels refreshingly wild compared to some of the more manicured forest walks you'll find elsewhere in the county.

Families with older children who can manage uneven terrain will find this spot rewarding - the paths aren't always clearly marked, so it's more suited to confident walkers than those wanting an easy afternoon stroll. Dog walkers absolutely love it here, with plenty of space for four-legged friends to explore safely away from traffic.

The canopy provides welcome shelter on drizzly days, making it a decent backup plan when beach weather disappoints. Allow a couple of hours minimum if you want to explore properly - the wood is larger than it first appears from the road.

Staying at nearby holiday parks like Killigarth Manor or Tencreek puts you well-placed for woodland walks when you fancy a break from seaside activities. It's the sort of place that rewards those who enjoy discovering their own routes rather than following signposted trails, though that won't suit everyone's idea of a relaxing holiday walk.
