Crantock Village and Poppies Walk Near Newquay

Crantock to Polly Joke Poppy Fields: A Rainy Yet Beautiful Coastal Walk

Living in Newquay gives us the privilege of being close to some of Cornwall’s most stunning coastal walks—and one of the most breathtaking natural displays each summer: the wild poppy fields between Crantock and Polly Joke.

On 13 June, my husband and I decided to take a walk to see the poppies in bloom. We knew they were nearing their peak, as we’d spotted the vivid red fields from the East Pentire side of Newquay earlier in the week.

Sadly, the weather had other ideas, and we got absolutely drenched in a torrential downpour! Still, despite the rain, it was wonderful to get up close to the flowers again, and it reminded us how lucky we are to have them on our doorstep.

We’re sharing our route, what we saw in Crantock village, and a little about the incredible natural history behind these protected wildflower fields.
