    Our family (3 generations of us) have visited Tresaith every Easter for the past 40 years. We like to do the Tresaith to Penbryn beach walk and back along the road to the Ship, but I can't see any link to a tide table which is a pretty basic piece of info. for enjoying a beach walk. We have done it with wet feet some years, the bit by the waterfall is the real test.

    Fantastic when the tide is out and you can walk to the waterfall and on to Penbryn. Lovely setting. Many happy childhood memories and with my own as youngsters. Beautiful sunsets sat outside The Ship.
