Welcome to Summercourt

Summercourt is a small village located in the heart of Cornwall, England. It is situated between the towns of Newquay and St Austell, making it an ideal location for those who want to explore the surrounding areas. The village is known for its beautiful countryside, which is perfect for hiking and cycling. There are also several local pubs and restaurants where visitors can enjoy traditional Cornish cuisine.

One of the main attractions in Summercourt is the Wheal Martyn China Clay Museum. This museum tells the story of the china clay industry in Cornwall and how it has shaped the landscape and economy of the region. Visitors can explore the museum's exhibits, which include interactive displays, films, and a working waterwheel. There is also a nature trail that takes visitors through the surrounding woodland and past the remains of old clay pits.

Summercourt is also home to several annual events, including the Summercourt Carnival and the Summercourt Steam and Vintage Rally. The carnival is a traditional Cornish event that features a parade, live music, and a funfair. The steam and vintage rally is a celebration of the region's industrial heritage, with displays of vintage tractors, steam engines, and other machinery. Both events are popular with locals and visitors alike and are a great way to experience the community spirit of Summercourt.

Local Dog Walks

Watergate Bay
Watergate Bay Is A Two-Mile Stretch Of Golden Sand On The North Cornish Coast, Two Miles From Newquay. A Favourite With Surfers And People Flying Kites (Which Drove My Dog Crazy - Big Multi-Coloured Birds In The Sky!) It Is Dog-Friendly All Year Round. Jame Oliver Has A Restaurant Overlooking The Beach (Probably Not Dog-Friendly, I Don't Know). But The Beach Hut, Which Is Adjacent To The Sand, Is Very Dog-Friendly And Serves Locally Caught Mussels And Very Fine Hamburgers. I Visited In April But I Imagine This Place Gets Mobbed In August.
