Duckpool Beach, Beach in Morwenstow, England.
Duckpool Beach is a west-facing cove on the North Cornwall coast with sandy areas interspersed with submerged rocks beneath the surface. Tall cliffs rise along the shoreline, creating dramatic natural walls that enclose the beach on both sides.
The area shows evidence of human settlement from early times, with traces visible in the surrounding landscape. Centuries of presence in the Morwenstow region have left their mark on the coastline.
The beach forms part of the North Cornwall Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, representing the natural heritage of South West England.
Free parking is available near the beach entrance, though there are no shops or facilities on-site. Before visiting, check the access routes and trail conditions, as they can vary with the seasons.
Three loop hiking trails of varying difficulty connect this location to nearby coastal spots like Hawkers Hut and Sandy Mouth Beach. Walkers can choose shorter or longer routes depending on their fitness and time available.
