Port Quin
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Port Quinn grid reference SW971805 is a small cove and hamlet between Port Isaac and Polzeath on the Atlantic coast in North Cornwall, England, UK.
The hamlet and the coastline is mainly owned by the National Trust; the Trust rents out several of the stone cottages as self-catering holiday accommodation.
The hamlet itself is situated at the end of a narrow rocky inlet in Port Quin Bay which extends from Kellan Head on the north-east side of the inlet to The Rumps.
The South West Coast Path closely follows the coastline of the inlet. Port Quinn is popular with walkers and there is a small car park on the lane which leads from Port Quinn to the village of Trelights.
On the south-west side of the inlet is Doyden Point, on which is situated Doyden Castle, a castellated Folley built in 1830 by Samuel Symons[1].
