Doyden Castle
historicA small Gothic folly built around 1830 on the cliffs above Port Quin by Samuel Symons of Wadebridge — reputedly for wild parties. The National Trust now lets it as a holiday cottage, but the exterior on its spectacular headland above the deserted cove of Port Quin is freely accessible and provides one of the finest viewpoints on the north Cornish coast.

St Enodoc Church Dunes
historicThe sandy approach to St Enodoc Church through the golf course at Trebetherick — winding between dunes and fairways — is one of the more unusual pilgrimages in Cornwall. The twelfth-century church, half-buried in sand for centuries, is the burial place of Poet Laureate John Betjeman. The dunes and estuary views make the walk as rewarding as the destination.
