The site at Watergate Bay where Wavelength has applied for a licence to hold an open air cinema A cliff-top drive-in cinema is set to be showing movies throughout the summer after being granted a licence to operate. Wavelength Media had applied to Cornwall Council for a licence to operate the cinema from a field overlooking Watergate Bay. The company had also applied to hold a three-day festival at the same site but this has been scrapped for 2021 and so it withdrew that part of the application. Cornwall Council’s licensing act sub committee unanimously agreed to grant the licence when it met on Wednesday.

The UK’s long-distance trails are a diverse bunch of characters – some snaking along beside rivers, others skirting Atlantic shores, one or two striding heroically across the glens of Scotland, a few pottering sedately through the downland of southern England. Wherever you may be hiking, there is no sight more welcome than a country pub at the end of a day on the trail: a place in which to unlace your boots, refill your stomach and feel the redemption of a warm shower and a soft bed. The following walking holidays offer ways to combine a hefty march with some of the country’s best hotels, pubs and restaurants with rooms – just remember to pack a clean set of clothes for dinner.

Newquay, Cornwall
Newquay is the surf capital of the UK thanks to its gnarly tubes and bitchin’ breaks. Located in Cornwall – a five-hour drive from London – the town boasts 11 sandy beaches over a seven-mile coastline. Experienced surfers head to Newquay’s biggest beach, Fistral, pictured above, which hosts high-profile competitions such as the UK Pro Surf Tour. You’ll have plenty of room to spread out from fellow surfers, and non-surfers can enjoy a swim.
