Valley Caravan Park was established in 1945 by William A Taylor and has continued to be run by the same Cornish family throughout the years. The park boasts a wonderful location in Old Polzeath, and is renowned as one of Cornwall's premier surfing beaches.

Our aim is to make your holiday with us a happy and memorable occasion. Our team of dedicated staff are always on hand to help with the smooth running of the park and even for emergencies during the night.

The Park is situated in a valley leading down to the sea, with the entrance only 200 yards from Polzeath's sandy beach. We have tried to keep the park as natural as possible, encouraging wildlife, especially the mallard duck - these nest on the site and with their young, freely waddle the park, together with other domesticated ducks, geese and moorhens.

It is considerably busier, but still not overcrowded. There has always been enough room for all who come. The beach with its fine golden sand is considered by many to be one of the best in the British Isles - fine for sand castles, beach games or just lazing in the sun - and there are numerous rock pools for the younger ones to enjoy and paddle, swim and explore. The surf itself is very good for belly boards while the inexperienced or the enthusiastic may try to ride the larger waves with their malibu boards further out.

The coastline from Pentire Headland to Port Quin is under the protection of the National Trust and cannot be fully described, as its unique charm has to be seen to be appreciated. Following the footpath around these cliffs, there are some spectacular views - with an abundance of wild flowers and many species of birds, also the occasional seal may be seen. It is around this time that there are some ideal spots for the angler in your family to fish for bass, pollack, mackerel, gar-fish, wrasse and conger.

Should you have to take your holiday in the school summer break or have not been to Polzeath, you may like to come and see for yourself - stay for a week-end in April or May in one of our caravans at a special introductory rate (offer excludes Easter and Bank Holidays).
