Cornwall holidays are right up there with the best in the UK. Gleaming white beaches, crashing azure surf and a rugged rocky coast combine to make this gorgeous county irresistible to UK holidaymakers.
There are two Haven holiday parks in Cornwall, just steps from beaches that can only be described as paradise for surfers. Perran Sands can be found on the county’s rugged north coast in Perranporth, and offers direct beach access, while Riviere Sands is located in Hayle, providing beautiful sea views and a look at the white sands of St Ives Bay.
With a starting price of just £49 for four nights, our Cornwall holidays are perfect for family getaways, midweek breaks and dog-friendly stays. If you do fancy bringing your favourite four-legged family member, then be sure to check out our dog friendly holidays to Cornwall.
You can’t resist the waves or the beautiful sands in Perranporth! Whether you're a surfer or a beach lover, there's loads to explore on this slice of the Cornish coast.
4.4/5Gaze across the gleaming white sands and beautiful blue waters of St Ives Bay from our clifftop setting – then stroll on down and enjoy the award-winning beach.
Cornwall is the coastal escape of all coastal escapes. From Perranporth Beach and Towans Beach at Hayle, our parks are right on the doorstep of golden sand, enchanted hidden coves and glorious surfing.
With 330 miles to explore, the South West Coast Path takes in all of the great scenery that Cornwall has to offer, including sections that pass near both of our holiday parks.
Cornwall is steeped in world-class heritage, with Tintagel Castle featuring ruins from King Arthur's time and St Michael's Mount boasting a medieval castle and church. With deep-rooted ties to Celtic culture, there is much to explore in Cornwall.
For the historians in the family, King Arthur's Tintagel Castle is a must-see. Immerse yourself in the dramatic sea views, myths and legends of this magical ruin before braving Merlin's cave on the beach below. If you're into natural history, you can marvel at the granite moorland of Bodmin Moor. Take a trip to the Eden Project - the largest indoor rainforest in the world, with discovery trails, a canopy walkway, a zip wire and climbing frames. There's also Newquay Zoo and the open-air Minack Theatre overlooking the sea; no two Cornwall holidays need ever be the same.
We are located in such a beautiful part of Cornwall within walking distance to a stunning beach.
Healey’s Cyder Farm is also close to park - there is a sampling station (plus a little farmyard, just in case there is an animal lover among you), and you get to learn a lot about the history of Cornish cider.
Dairyland Farm Park close to Newquay, is close to our park. It has a large indoor soft play area, numerous nature trails and outdoor activities, and a wide variety of farmyard animals for the little ones to see, including a pat-a-pet activity and pony rides.
England’s most southwestern county, Cornwall is a popular tourist spot. Its population of around 500,000 increases massively during the summer months and school holidays.
Cornwall was historically recognised as a Celtic nation, with its own distinct language and culture. Reminders of this are seen in place names and in regional slang.
Cornwall is surrounded by the sea on three sides. The English Channel and Celtic Sea are its neighbours, setting the scene for some of the most spectacular coastal views in the UK.
Haven's two Cornwall holiday parks - Perran Sands in Perranporth and Riviere Sands in Hayle - offer the perfect coastal base for exploring this spectacular county.
With hundreds of magnificent beaches like Perranporth Beach and Towans Beach at Hayle, and a beautiful breath of fresh air throughout, Cornwall offers a holiday experience that few other counties can match.
Cornwall’s distinct history makes for a whole host of unmissable heritage sites that are great for a family-friendly day out. Places like St Michael’s Mount are quite simply stunning. Tintagel Castle is another favourite of ours.
