Gorran Haven

This picturesque village has a sheltered anchorage, with a lovely sandy beach, in the lee of the spectacular, 400-foot high Dodman Point.  Always a favourite destination for famillies, Gorran Haven is surrounded by acres of land cared for by the National Trust - ensuring its conservation for future generations.  Truly a 'haven', the village has a number of small shops and eating places to satisfy the visitors' needs.

From Gorran Haven, there's easy access to the cliff and coastal path leading around to Vault Beach and on to Porthluney or Caerhays Beach.  In the Spring - February to May - the gardens and home at Caerhays Castle are open to visitors. Enjoy a walk around the grounds admiring the Camellias, many of which were first hybridised at Caerhays by the Williams family in the 19th Century.

The gateway to the Roseland Peninsula, Tregony, is a short distance inland but, for many coast path walkers, it's Gorran Haven that signals the start of the Roseland as they enjoy the creeks, coves and beaches on their way down to St Mawes.
