EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the 1960s as we take a nostalgic look at the Pentewan Caravan Park in Mevagissey, Cornwall. This charming photograph captures the essence of a simpler era, where the joy of a holiday was found in the simple pleasures of nature and the company of loved ones. The scene is set against the picturesque backdrop of the Cornish coastline, with its rugged cliffs and crystal-clear waters. The cars and tents scattered across the park tell the story of families and friends setting up camp for their seaside getaway. The ropes and ford in the foreground hint at the nearby river, which provided a natural playground for visitors to enjoy swimming, fishing, and other water activities. The Anglia car, a popular model during the 1960s, is a familiar sight in the background, its roof rack loaded with camping gear and luggage. The tents, some with their distinctive peaked designs, are pitched in rows, creating a sense of community and camaraderie among the campers. The Pentewan Caravan Park, located near the quaint fishing village of Mevagissey, offered a convenient and affordable alternative to traditional hotel stays. The park's proximity to the coast allowed visitors to explore the beautiful Cornish countryside and enjoy the fresh sea air. This photograph is a snapshot of a bygone era, a time when the focus was on creating memories and enjoying the simple pleasures of life. It serves as a reminder of the enduring appeal of caravan holidays and the joy of escaping the hustle and bustle of everyday life to reconnect with nature and loved ones.
