Come and join us for a great weekend
camping on Cornwall's stunning west coast. Trevaylor is situated
within the Cornwall Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and is a
10-minute walk from the coastal path which cuts through the St.
Just Mining District World Heritage Site and is also declared a
Site of Special Scientific Interest due to the wealth of wildlife
that it supports.
The site is sandwiched between the
Atlantic coast to the west and north and spectacular moorland to
the south and east, making it perfect for walking. There are plenty
of geocaches in the vicinity and more will be placed in the run up
to the event. Land's End, the Tate St. Ives, the Minack Theatre,
Mousehole, Newlyn, Penzance, St. Michael's Mount and loads of other
tourist destinations are all within a 30-minute drive.

The Red Billed Chough
The chough has been closely associated with Cornwall for several
centuries, and even features on the county's crest. Changes in
farming practice and persecution eventually led to the chough
disappearing from all English counties, but choughs still remained
in Cornwall long after they had left the rest of the country. In
2001 after a 50 year absence choughs returned to Cornwall and at
least one breeding pair now resides on the cliffs near to the
campsite.
The event takes place towards the end of the chough breeding
season, and if you are lucky you should be able to watch the adults
taking food back for their chicks. Please remember though that
choughs are easily disturbed and should not be deliberately
approached.
