The surfing break at Northcott Mouth is only ½ mile stroll across fields from Northcott Farmhouse which has plenty of safe storage space for your boards and wetsuits.

Walking
All of the Court Farm Holiday properties offer easy access onto North Cornwall ’s dramatic section of the South West Coast Path. Additionally, you can enjoy the un-spoilt countryside of the North Tamar walking along the Bude Canal which was originally opened in the 1820's. This is a pleasant walk combining grassy coastal cliff paths and inland fields with the quiet and peaceful canal.

A walk of approximately two hours it explores the site of an Iron Age Fort, where the Civil War battle of Stamford Hill took place in 1643, between the Royalist Army and Parliamentarian Troops.
