Crugmeer
Where's Crugmeer?
(Thanks multimap.com ®2007)
How do you get there?
Travel to Padstow, Cornwall and find your way to the B3276 road heading south towards St. Merryn. About a half-kilometre outside of Padstow a narrow lane leads off to the right (heading north to Padstow, turn left!), first to Trethillick (site of an ancient church), then another half-kilometre or so is Crugmeer. We recommend parking in Padstow and taking the footpath as it is a spectacular walk. The nearest train station is Bodmin Parkway and the nearest airport in Newquay.
When to go?
Hmmm, we recommend the "off" tourist season and whenever the wind is a bit calmer...since neither seems to be in a lull these days, come anytime!
Who lives there?
Well, there's folks in Great Crugmeer House, Path Cottage...yes, its not totally "second-home" owners, and contrary to popular belief, its a real community where the "incomers" care a lot about the folks who live in Crugmeer full-time. "Ich bein Crugmeer...baby!"
What is there to do in Crugmeer?
Nothing. Absolutely nothing, which is why its so brilliant. Just stare at the sun, sea and sky...and the stars at night. No light pollution here.
Why come to Crugmeer?
Because its not developed..yet. See Rock, Cornwall...go to Rock, face the south, look into the distant horizion above Padstow. See Crugmeer. See no development. Come to Crugmeer...but be very, very quiet.
