About Crantock

Village located on the other side of the River Gannel from Newquay on the north coast of Cornwall. Lovely beach, sand dunes & picturesque village.

A very ancient site, dating from 460 when it was colonised by hermits who founded an oratory

Crantock has its share of events too, with an annual Jazz Festival and a summer fiesta, well worth a visit!
