We’re Skipping Black Friday: Get 4 Nights for 3

This November and December, stay four nights from Monday to Friday and pay for just three. The offer runs at both Tamar View Holiday Park and Notter Bridge Holiday Park, in our corner of South East Cornwall, throughout November and December. There’s no short promo window, no countdown clock and no “was” price. Just a fairer way to spend a few winter days together.

So why aren’t we joining in on Black Friday madness? Honestly, it isn’t really us. Black Friday is about buying more things in a hurry. We’d rather you bought yourself some time: slow mornings, muddy-booted walks, and a hot tub under a cold, clear sky. And we’d rather give you a few weeks to plan it than 48 hours to panic about it.

Midweek Things to Do in South East Cornwall in November and December

Tourist season may be well over but Winter weekdays are when South East Cornwall quietly shows off. Quieter beaches, local events & festivities and easier restaurant reservations for your new favourite spots.. Here are a few of our favourite ways to spend them, all an easy drive from both parks.

See the Christmas garland at Cotehele

Just down the lane from Tamar View, the National Trust’s Cotehele hangs a 60-ft garland of estate grown flowers in its Tudor Great Hall every Christmas, and 2026 marks 70 years of the tradition.

The house is open daily, weekdays included, from Saturday 21st November 2026 to Tuesday 5th January 2027, 10.30am–4pm (closed 25th–26th December). Normal admission applies; National Trust members go free.

Distance: Around 5 minutes from Tamar View, 15 minutes from Notter Bridge.

Ride the Tamar Valley Line over Calstock Viaduct

Leave the car behind for a day. The Tamar Valley Line runs Monday to Friday between Gunnislake and Plymouth, crossing Calstock Viaduct high above the river. Hop off at Calstock for a riverside wander and a warming lunch at a pub, or carry on into Plymouth for some Christmas shopping. Check the GWR timetable before you travel.

Distance: Calstock station is around 10 minutes from Tamar View.

Go for a fresh Winter walk along Whitsand Bay

On a crisp winter weekday you might have miles of Whitsand Bay almost to yourselves. Walk the South West Coast Path along the clifftops, or head down to the sand when the tide’s out. Many Cornish beaches relax their summer dog restrictions over winter, so it’s a favourite with four-legged guests. The paths down are steep in places, so sensible footwear is recommended. There’s also a few great local cafe’s dotted along the cliff sides, so be sure to pop in for a warming coffee & cake!

Distance: Around 20 minutes from Notter Bridge, 30 minutes from Tamar View.

Explore Mount Edgcumbe and Kingsand & Cawsand

Out on the Rame Peninsula, Mount Edgcumbe Country Park has woodland, formal gardens and views across Plymouth Sound. From there, the coast path leads to the twin villages of Kingsand and Cawsand, with their narrow lanes and harbour-side pubs. This walk takes roughly 2.5-3.5 hours circular and is moderate difficulty.

Distance: Around 25–35 minutes from either park.

Catch a winter sunset from Kit Hill

Kit Hill rises above the Tamar Valley with views reaching to Dartmoor on a clear day. A short walk up to the old mine chimney stack at the top is the perfect end to a winter afternoon.

Distance: Around 10 minutes from Tamar View, 15 minutes from Notter Bridge.

Make a day of it at the Eden Project

Eden Project is a brilliant rainy-day plan, and several of its winter highlights fall midweek. The ice rink is open until 21st February 2027, with various other events planned throughout the winter months. The Christmas lights experience runs on selected days from 20th November, and tickets are booked separately to entry.

Distance: Just under an hour from either park.

Wander the harbour lights in Looe and Polperro

Once the festive lights are up, an after-dark stroll around Looe’s harbour or Polperro’s tiny lanes, followed by fish and chips, is hard to beat. Looe’s Christmas light switch-on is on Friday, 27th November 2026 at 6:30 PM.

Distance: Around 20–30 minutes to Looe, 30–40 minutes to Polperro.
