F40 Bayford, Riviere Towans

With a large secure timber deck which gets the sun for most of the day and from which you can see the sea and stunning sunsets over St. Ives, Bayford is a home from home full of history which offers comfortable accommodation for up to five guests.

Bayford was rebuilt in the seventies on the same spot that the original horse drawn wagon was "parked" in the twenties or thirties. The original iron wheels are still half buried beneath the floor. It has always been owned by families local to the area, and many of these people still visit the holiday site regularly; such is the connection that people feel with the place.

Whether you're a beach lover, or here to explore the sights of West Cornwall, Bayford is a holiday home from home in a great location. Just a short walk from the sea and coastal path, and a short drive to sights such as St. Ives and Penzance, Bayford is a holiday bolthole you'll want to return to year after year…

The holiday park is one of the oldest in the country, with the first chalets constructed in the early 1920s. Now a beautiful site with a vast range of unique, quirky and privately owned accommodation, including beach chalets, bungalows and lodges. Many have stunning sea views and all are within a few minutes walk of the beach.

For those seeking surf, beginners to experienced surfers and bodyboarders can enjoy doorstep breaks at Hayle Rivermouth and Mexico Towans, both within walking distance of the park. Paddle boarding and kayaking on the Estuary, as well as kitesurfing and windsurfing are popular all year round.

Hayle is home to the RSPB Hayle Estuary Reserve, Paradise Park Wildlife Sanctuary, Hayle Lido, ice cream parlours, gift shops, great food (including Cornwall's best Pasties from Philps), pubs and supermarkets.
