Bedruthan Steps

About Bedruthan Steps

Bedruthan Steps, North Cornwall’s cliff-hewn marvel, sparks the imagination. Locals say a giant, Bedruthan, strode these sea stacks to cross the sands—a yarn spun at The Herring’s fireside. Some dream bigger: were giants real, shaping Cornwall’s stones? Internet tales and old stones like Lanyon Quoit nudge the thought—perhaps we’re guests in their playground, our steps small beside theirs. No proof, just wonder, as waves crash and gulls cry.

Today, Bedruthan’s stacks tower over Carnewas beach, a National Trust gem. Walk the coast path, feel the cliffs’ weight, and sip tea at Carnewas Tearoom, where neighbours swap stories. Newquay’s surf and St Eval’s quiet church tie past to present. Ponder giants over pasties at The Smugglers’ Den—did they tread here? Share your spark on our contact page; Bedruthan’s magic grows with every tale.

Weather rules these cliffs—check our forecast below, as storms can close paths. Steps to the beach are steep, tides fierce, so plan wisely. Bedruthan’s not just a view; it’s Cornwall’s heart, asking, “What if?” while you stand in awe.
