Places to see in ( Crantock - UK )
Crantock is a coastal civil parish and a village in Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. The village is approximately two miles southwest of Newquay. Crantock dates back to 460 AD when a group of Irish hermits founded an oratory there.
The village lies to the south of the River Gannel which forms a natural boundary between the parishes of Newquay and Crantock. The River Gannel is tidal and ferries operate on a seasonal basis from Fern Pit to Crantock Beach. The River Gannel runs along Crantock Beach and joins the Atlantic Ocean. The village can be reached from the A3075 road via the junction at Trevemper. The hamlets of Treninnick and West Pentire are in the parish. Large parts of the parish are now in the ownership of the National Trust, including West Pentire headland which is a Site of Special Scientific Interest noted for its wild flowers and rare plants.
The older part of the village is situated around its church which is dedicated to St Carantoc, founder of the village. At one time the parish was known as Langurroc which translates as – The Dwelling of Monks. There is a Langurroc Road in the village. Langurroc was infamously (among locals) covered up in a sandstorm and may well lie beneath the sand dunes which back Crantock Beach.
St Carantoc's Church was founded in Norman times and was originally cruciform, but was reconstructed in the 14th and 15th centuries: restoration was carried out by E. H. Sedding in 1899–1902. The font is Norman and the rood screen is much restored. The church was collegiate from ca. 1236 to the Reformation.
The village hall is now three times larger than it was and was the centrepiece of 2007's annual Jazz in the Park. The village also hosts a street fair known as the Crantock Summer Fiesta which has a coconut shy, tombola, raffle and many other stalls. In 2006, the village held its second annual big bale push involving locals pushing tightly packed straw cylinders around the roads of the village, which are closed for the event. Crantock now holds the Guinness record for bale pushing.
Like several other sandy beaches in the Newquay area, Crantock Beach is popular for surfing. There are car parks at Crantock Beach and West Pentire. The beach is backed by sand dunes. At the left hand side of the beach, low tide reveals a carving into a rock, featuring a picture of a woman's face, and the inscription ‘Mar not my face but let me be, Secure in this lone cave by the sea, Let the wild waves around me roar, Kissing my lips for evermore’
The story goes... In the early 20th century a woman was horse riding along Crantock Beach. She and her horse got cut off as the tide came in and the rough seas swept them away drowning them both. Her distraught lover carved a poem into a rock, in a cave on the beach, along with a portrait of his lost love and her horse. The carvings are said to be the work of a local man Joseph Prater.
The coastal footpath skirts all along the west side of the parish. Walking from Crantock the path leads to a sandy cove called Porth Joke, also known as Polly Joke. Its name comes from the Cornish 'Porth Lojowek' meaning cove abounding in vegetation, in later Cornish this became 'Por Lejowak'. This cove is entirely surrounded by National Trust land and virtually unchanged over the centuries. Further along the coast path is the village of Holywell, with a larger sandy beach at Holywell Bay.

Views of the beautiful rivers of Cornwall
Whether it's a quiet riverside walk you're after or something a bit more challenging, like paddle-boarding, kayaking or angling, a day exploring Cornwall's rivers, is a great way to make the most of the diversity of the landscape.
In this film, staff at the Westcountry Rivers Trust celebrate their 20th anniversary by taking you on a whistle-stop tour to show you what they love so much about Cornwall's rivers.
They took us fly fishing for brown trout on the De Lank River, an idyllic moorland stream up on Bodmin Moor that feeds the River Camel: buy angling tokens via the Westcountry Angling Passport scheme. Then there was dragonfly spotting in the Red River Valley Nature Reserve, an area with a rich mining history where nature is flourishing once again.
They also take you kayaking from the historic town of Lostwithiel, downstream into the iconic Fowey estuary (stick to deep water, so you don't damage delicate river habitats).
Last stop was stand-up paddle boarding in the crystal clear, aquamarine waters of the River Gannel at Crantock where the freshwater of the river mixes and mingles with the salt water of the sea.
The Rivers of Cornwall was produced by Visit Cornwall in partnership with the Westcountry Rivers Trust.
