Before You Set Off
Before You Set Off
Before you set off on your awesome adventure to explore Newquay (Tewynblustri), there are a few things you need to know...
Unfortunately, the route isn’t friendly for wheelchair users and pushchairs due to the Trail including stairways.
Bring your four-legged friends along! Please note that it is a busy town centre and working harbour, so dogs will need to be kept on leads.
The closest long stay pay and display car park to the Trail start point is the Manor Car Park (TR7 1BD), just a two-minute walk away.
There are some fantastic events in Newquay’s calendar, all of which are great times to visit this beautiful town. However, you may find that some of the Clues on this Trail may become obstructed or difficult to access on these occasions. Please check for events before setting off.
There are public toilets available towards the middle of the Trail, and the route passes several picnic spots, pubs, and a few cafes along the way (mostly after the middle of the Trail).
