Set in 45 acres
of delightful North Cornwall countryside, close to Bude
Bay, Burn Park features a wide range of indoor and outdoor
leisure facilities, including a friendly restaurant and
bar, and is in an ideal position to explore all the delights
of the north coasts of Cornwall and Devon.
The village of Stratton is half a mile away, and its twin town,
the lively seaside resort of Bude is 5 minutes drive. The resort
is on the perimeter of the Bude and North Cornwall 18 hole golf course,
which offers the more energetic alternative of a lovely 15 minute
walk into town.
Bude is popular with locals and visitors alike, with lots of shops,
restaurants, pubs and one very special feature - the 19th century
canal, which is now used for boating and fishing. Along its banks
are tea rooms and an art and craft gallery, with pretty walks to
the breakwater, or to the lookout tower on the clifftop, with its
wonderful ocean views. |

Exploring
the area
Burn Park is in a perfect position to explore the surrounding countryside,
being in Cornwall, yet close to the border with Devon and its outstanding
north coast and moorland. Favourite beaches with visitors are Widemouth
Bay (good surf ), with Summerleaze and Crooklets beaches both within
easy walking distance of Bude, and Duckpool, an unspoilt cove set
in a delightful wooded valley owned by the National Trust.
If you enjoy exploring, you’ll be spoilt for choice as to where
to visit each day! Should it be the world-famous village of Clovelly,
with its steeply cobbled main street leading to a 14th century quay?
Or Boscastle harbour, a quaint olde-worlde fishing town? Or just
along the coast, how about the eerie remains of King
Arthur’s castle at Tintagel? Only five miles from Bude are
the Tamar Lakes, and the lovely Roadford Reservoir lies between Okehampton
and Launceston. |

Further to the west, of course,
there’s the whole of Cornwall just waiting to prove
to you that nothing beats English coastal scenery, and
a day or two devoted to exploring this unique county
and perhaps its wonderful gardens, is a tempting prospect!
For instance, be sure to visit Polperro fishing village,
complete with museum, shops, pubs and famous smugglers’ cove.
Never forget that both Dartmoor and Exmoor national parks
are within easy driving distance of Burn Park, each with
a character all its own.
Then, for the children, there are all the joys of Brocklands fun
park, The Milky Way and The Big Sheep, to name but a few attractions. |
