Why South East Cornwall is the Perfect Holiday Destination
and Why Lydcott Glamping is the Best Place to Stay
When planning a Cornish getaway, many visitors find themselves choosing between South East Cornwall and South West Cornwall. While both regions boast stunning scenery and rich history, South East Cornwall offers a more relaxed, accessible, and diverse holiday experience. And at the heart of it all, Lydcott Glamping provides the perfect base to explore everything this beautiful area has to offer.
Stunning Scenery Without the Crowds
South East Cornwall is renowned for its rolling countryside, picturesque fishing villages, and hidden coves. The charming harbours of Looe and Polperro exude classic Cornish character, while the Tamar and Lynher river valleys offer serene landscapes for nature lovers. Compared to the rugged, windswept coastline of South West Cornwall, South East Cornwall offers a more sheltered and peaceful retreat.
Why Stay at Lydcott Glamping?
Nestled in the tranquil countryside, Lydcott Glamping offers spectacular sea views and a peaceful atmosphere, making it the perfect place to unwind after a day of exploring Cornwall’s natural beauty.
Beautiful, Family-Friendly Beaches
South East Cornwall is home to stunning yet lesser-known beaches such as Whitsand Bay, Talland Bay, and Seaton. These sandy shores are perfect for swimming, paddleboarding, and rock pooling, without the crowds that flock to the surf-heavy beaches of South West Cornwall.
Why Stay at Lydcott Glamping?
Our location means you’re just a short drive from these gorgeous, unspoiled beaches. Spend the day by the sea and return to the comfort of your luxurious glamping pod in the evening.
Unique Attractions and Activities
From the historic town of Fowey to the breathtaking Rame Peninsula (often called Cornwall’s ‘Forgotten Corner’), South East Cornwall offers a diverse range of attractions. Fowey is a haven for literary lovers and history enthusiasts, known for its connections to Daphne du Maurier, its stunning estuary views, and charming narrow streets filled with boutique shops and cafés. Visitors can enjoy boat trips, coastal walks, and the scenic Readymoney Cove.
The famous Eden Project is within easy reach, as well as National Trust sites, scenic rail journeys like the Looe Valley Line, and vineyard tours in the Tamar Valley. The lively town of Looe is another must-visit, offering a working fishing harbour, fantastic seafood restaurants, and beautiful coastal walks.
Why Stay at Lydcott Glamping?
You’ll be perfectly positioned to explore all these attractions while enjoying a peaceful, rural retreat away from the busier tourist hubs.
Easy Accessibility and Less Congestion
Unlike the far south-west of Cornwall, which can be difficult to reach and experiences heavy congestion in peak season, South East Cornwall is much easier to access via the A38 and the Tamar Bridge. This means less time spent in traffic and more time enjoying your holiday.
Why Stay at Lydcott Glamping?
Our location ensures a hassle-free journey, so you can start relaxing as soon as you arrive.
Better Value for a Luxurious Stay
Accommodation in South West Cornwall—especially in popular areas like St Ives—can be pricey and booked up well in advance. In contrast, South East Cornwall offers stunning locations and unique stays at much better value.
Why Stay at Lydcott Glamping?
Our high-end glamping lodges provide a boutique experience without such a hefty price tag, allowing you to enjoy a luxurious yet more affordable Cornish escape.
