There's not much to see in this sleepy south-coast village, save for a smattering of seasonal shops and tea-rooms, but the seaside setting is undeniably pretty – and it's an ideal lunch stop if you're trekking on the coast path. The renowned Cornish theatre company Kneehigh has its home base in a barn above the village.
