Mwnt
Mwnt is a beautiful sheltered sandy cove owned by the National Trust and voted Number 1 of Europe's secret beaches by The Daily Mail in 2011. This popular beach is off the beaten track but can still get busy in the height of summer. The steep steps leading to the beach make it unsuitable for pushchairs or wheelchairs. Swimming conditions are considered safe at Mwnt but there is no
lifeguard service. The lovely small 15th century Mwnt
Church is where we got married.

Parking : National Trust owned field above the beach,
with a charge (free if National Trust member).
