Ruthern Valley Holidays

Bodmin, Cornwall, England
1 acre hosted by Ruthern H.
In the middle of Cornwall, this is a magic place to escape the beach crowds
After a nice day on the beach at Polzeath or Rock, surrounded by surfers and Sloanes, Ruthern Valley is somewhere you can escape to, hidden among the green canopy of Cornwall’s countryside interior. Close to Bodmin Moor, this secluded, beguiling little site is humming with wildlife, so children can have plenty of fun spotting rabbits and squirrels, and budding ornithologists can look out for woodpeckers a-pecking and hear owls a-hooting. Having said that, they’ll probably enjoy feeding the chickens just as much, too. It’s a top location, with the wild delights of Land’s End an hour or so away, and Bodmin Moor, the perfect place for stomping around with children, as you regale them with heady stories about smugglers and highwaymen, isn’t far. Or you could cycle to Padstow for a crabbing session on the quay and perhaps a slap-up portion of Mr Stein’s famous fish and chips, which is a pretty-much perfect way to while away an afternoon. Grogley Woods are close to the site and lovely for shady walks. So, at the end of a busy day, when you’ve had your fill, and more, of sun, sea and sand, what could be better than the peaceful, leafy shade of Ruthern Valley?

From the host
Nestled in a beautiful wooded valley near Bodmin Moor, this is a holiday site that offers a selection of accommodation styles, plus a fully equipped, designated camping and caravan area – you choose which you prefer.
Nearby attractions
Part of the appeal of Ruthern Valley is its proximity to the Camel Trail (01872 327310), a disused railway track running 16 miles from Wadebridge to Padstow. It’s a great route for walking or cycling. Hire bikes at Bridge Bike Hire, Wadebridge (01208 813050); which has children’s bikes, bike seats and trailer bikes. There’s a riding stable at St Breward (01208 851500). The Camel Cycle Trail - a level 4 minute ride from the site, is particularly of note, while the more adventurous can try the forestry (Grogley Woods), which has a huge downhill biking track.
Food and drink
There’s a small shop onsite for basic groceries and local produce. They sell award-winning curries from the Little Cornish Curry Company, Roskilly’s ice cream, fresh baguettes and local Rattler cider. Cycle 3 miles along the Camel Trail to the Borough Arms (01208 731118), a child-friendly pub.
