Holidays in Welcombe
Welcombe is a picturesque hamlet located in the North Cornwall region of England. It is situated in the civil parish of Morwenstow, which is near the border with Devon. The area is known for its natural beauty, with the South West Coast Path passing nearby, offering stunning views of the coastline and countryside.
Welcombe is nestled in a wooded valley that opens out to the sea, with the Welcombe Mouth Beach at the end of the valley. The beach is a mix of sand and pebbles, surrounded by cliffs and rocks, and is a popular spot for walking, rockpooling, and surfing. The coastal landscape is part of the South West Coast Path, a long-distance walking trail that runs along the coast of South West England. The area is relatively remote and provides a peaceful retreat from busier tourist spots.
The name Welcombe is thought to be of Saxon origin, meaning "the combe where the willows grow." The parish of Morwenstow has a rich history, with evidence of human activity dating back to the Bronze Age. The parish church, dedicated to St. John the Baptist, is located in the nearby village of Morwenstow and features a 13th-century tower. The churchyard is the final resting place of the Victorian poet and rector Robert Stephen Hawker.
Things to Do:
- Welcombe Mouth Beach: Enjoy the rugged beauty of the beach and take a dip in the sea if you're brave enough to handle the sometimes chilly waters.
- South West Coast Path: Walk along the coastal path to explore the dramatic cliffs, coves, and beaches of the North Cornwall and Devon coastline.
- Hiking and Walking: The surrounding countryside offers numerous walking trails suitable for various fitness levels.
- Morwenstow Church: Visit the historic church of St. John the Baptist, known for its unique gravestones designed by Robert Stephen Hawker.
- Hartland Abbey and Gardens: A short drive away, Hartland Abbey is an 800-year-old house with beautiful gardens and a historic monastery.
- Hartland Quay: Another nearby attraction is Hartland Quay, with its historic harbor, coastal walks, and pub.
- Tintagel Castle: Venture a bit further to the legendary home of King Arthur, approximately 45 minutes by car.
- Bude: This coastal town offers a variety of shops, cafes, and restaurants, as well as more beaches and leisure activities.
- Water Sports: The coast around Welcombe is ideal for surfing, kayaking, and other water sports.
Welcombe is accessed via narrow, winding country lanes, and the nearest train station is in the town of Bude, approximately 10 miles away. The area is best explored by car, as public transport options are limited. The closest airport is Newquay Cornwall Airport, which is about an hour's drive from Welcombe.
The hamlet is small and does not have many amenities. However, the nearby village of Morwenstow has a pub, the Old Smithy Inn, which serves food and drinks. There are also a few local shops and facilities in the surrounding area. For a wider range of services, visitors may need to travel to the nearby towns of Bude or Hartland.
Welcombe is an excellent base for those looking to explore the natural beauty of North Cornwall and the surrounding area, with its tranquil setting and proximity to the coast and countryside making it a perfect retreat for those seeking peace and quiet.
