Drive your campervan or motorhome to Lands end. If you are in cornwall, then its a must to get there, and in summer the whole place can be very busy.

Newquay Airport was developed in 1934 with the help of Provincial Airways and provided flights from Plymouth to Hayle and Newquay.

From 1941 onwards the airport became a satellite airfield for RAF St Eval, working to back up RAF anti-U boat and shipping patrols.

The airfield was modernised and by 1943 a newly constructed runway was realised, offering a USAF staging area for deploying airplanes to all European theatres of war. The airfield remained in military hands until the late 1950’s.

Ideally located for exploration of the South West, Newquay Airport motorhome hire is a great choice for many motorhome holiday makers.

Various displays and feeding times, includes “Free Flying Bird Show” and Otters and Penguins being fed twice a day. See their website for more information including ticket prices, and opening times.
