About Crackington Haven Cornwall.
Crackington Haven is located seven and half miles north east of Tintagel on the B3263. Crackington Haven is a great place for swimming or walking and rambling. There are excellent facilities and a good beach comprising of pebbles, with sand along the inter-tidal zone. There is plenty of parking, public toilets, a few shops, cafes, a pub and restaurant and don’t forget the stunning scenery and breathtaking views
Like Boscastle Crackington Haven was also hit by floods on Monday 16 August 2004. Although not as publicised as the Boscastle floods those at Crackington haven were no less dramatic. Fortunately as with Boscastle no loss of life occurred.
The areas is a designated Site of Special Scientific Interest These SSSIs are the very best and rarest sites in which to appreciate the country’s heritage of wildlife habitats, geological features and landforms. Crackington Haven is also very valuable place for research, and many schools and universities visit the beach for its fascinating geology. Pencarrow Point a towering cliff overlooks the beach and at four hundred feet it is Cornwall’s highest coastal point It is an offence to remove anything from the area and visitors are requested not to remove even a single pebble. The shingle ridge is very important as it shields the cliffs from erosion and helps to prevent the sea from flooding Precautions on the beach are necessary and visitors are also advised to avoid sitting under the cliffs, they are unstable and can drop rocks without warning. Please don't climb the cliffs as they are very unstable and easily break away.
Once a small port like many of the others along the North Cornish coast, Crackington Haven imported limestone and coal and exported slate and local produce. The slate trade went into a steep decline and has long since ceased but the pretty little haven remains, tucked in between massive rock formations and the views from either direction make Crackington Haven a wonderful place.
