Newquay ‘still good for family caravan breaks’

The Trenance Gardens are a beautiful family attraction in Newquay

Brits planning a family caravan holiday this year could head to Newquay in Cornwall, it has been suggested.

While the area is a popular surfing spot and holiday destination for young people, VisitCornwall claimed that it also appeals to families.

Tourism Newquay recently revealed that European bookings for the seaside resort have risen for 2010.

VisitCornwall PR manager Teresa Timms explained that the town was traditionally a family resort and, although it has become popular with young adults in recent years, it remains a good choice for those with children.

She added that the area offers “spectacular beaches and wide choice [of] accommodation – everything from great campsites to four-star hotels and high-quality self-catering apartments”.

Ms Timms said that the town benefits from an accessible position which allows people from both the east and west of the country to come and enjoy what it has to offer.

Nearby attractions include the Eden Project and National Maritime Museum, which could provide fun diversions for those staying in a Newquay caravan.

Local caravan sites in the area include Trewan Hall run by the Camping and Caravanning Club, or Treamble Valley which is a Caravan Club Members Only site. Other local alternatives include Trenance Holiday Park which also has static caravans on site.
