For anyone who finds themselves near Cornwall, a social media user has found a 'hidden gem' spot. Like many seaside destinations, Cornwall has no shortage of breathtaking beaches, most of which will be familiar to locals.

She said: "You need to visit this hidden gem in the UK." Her post showed families jumping off rocks into the clear water. One amazed viewer said: "Soooo blue." Hannah replied: "Just so pretty."
Treyarnon Bay Beach is ranked well on TripAdvisor, where it is marked as one of the best things to do in St Merryn, reports the Mirror. One reviewer wrote: "What a stunning place. If food and drinks are your thing, visit Treyarnon beach. If diving into blue lagoons and rock pools is your thing, visit Treyarnon beach.

"If lounging around on beautiful sandy beaches watching the sea wash up onto the sand is your thing, visit Treyarnon beach. Rock pooling, building sand castles, swimming, relaxing, what ever you like to do - you don't need to go on a plane to anywhere else in the world with places like this in England. Breathtakingly stunning. A must visit if you're in Cornwall!!"
A second fan wrote: "Incredible bay with beautiful beach and surfers worth watching! Dog friendly enabling our Staffy to have a great time chasing his football up and down the beach. With the tide out there are some amazing 'secret' rock pools with some large and deep enough to swim in!"
A recent visitor added: "What a fabulous bay. Great for wave watching/jumping/boards although strong currents so make sure you stay between the lifeguard flags. The tide goes out a long way revealing rock pools as well as a tidal pool.
The beach has glowing reviews on Tripadvisor

"All day parking was £5 (June 2025) and there is a little shop, burger van (great burgers!) and ice cream van. Toilets were available at the YHA. Coastal path takes you round to Constantine bay which is also lovely."
Another thought: "Superb beach. Probably my fave beach along with Mawgan Porth, with Constantine a short yet beautiful coastal walk away. Great facilities, lots of rock pools to discover. A definite must to visit if you love sandy beaches and crystal blue sea and waves to surf/bodyboard in."

The UK passport rules that are STILL catching thousands of Brits out as families are forced to miss their holidays
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THOUSANDS of Brits still using their burgundy passports are being caught out by confusing rules when travelling. Since March 2020, anyone getting a new passport would be issued the new blue versions instead. 2 Your burgundy passport could be causing you problems this summer Credit: Getty - Contributor But along with the new passport colour, stricter rules are also in place since the UK left the EU. And despite the rules being enforced for more than five years, holidaymakers are still being caught out. So here is everything you need to know about your passport to avoid being banned from your flight. Incorrect expiry dates Previous rules allowed British passport holders to roll over 10 months from their previous passports. This would mean they would have a validity of up to 10 years and 10 months. Yet the current rules no longer see those additional 10 months as valid, even if they are on your passport. For example. If your passport was issued in June 2015, but your expiry date says September 2025, that expiry is actually incorrect. Instead, your passport would have expired 10 years past the start date - making the real expiry June 2025. Most airlines are unable to accept passports if they are showing as more than 10 years old, when looking at the state date. Three month left rule A number or countries require British holidaymakers to have a few additional months left on their passport to travel. What do you need to do to ensure your passport is OK for travel? For example, most places in Europe including Spain and France require you to have at least three months left on the passport before it expires. The confusion comes, however, from both of these rules being enforced. While they do not have to run at the same time, most airlines and tour operators are requiring passports to meet both of the new rules. This is despite the UK Foreign Office website stating: "The expiry date does not need to be within 10 years of the date of issue." Despite this, many families are still being forced to follow both of these rules, so it is worth making sure your passport is valid for both reasons. Are people still getting caught out? Earlier this year, a Brit was banned from her flight at London Gatwick because of the confusing passport rules. While trying to board her flight in March 2025, her passport had a start date of June 2015 and an expiry of August 2025. Airline staff incorrectly said she needed to follow both rules so she was banned from flying and left £700 out of pocket. And last year, passenger Alex Brooke was left in tears because they were caught out as well. Trying to travel in May 2024, they said: "Because my passport had been issued in April 2014; that meant it had been issued 10 years and 1 month ago." A mum travelling to Paris in June was incorrectly told her passport was out of date due to a similar confusion, and was stopped from boarding her flight, What are the passport rules? The Sun's Head of Travel Lisa Minot has explained exactly what Brits need to know. "Travellers used to be able to roll over up to nine unused months from their old passport onto a new one. "But post-Brexit, anyone wanting to travel to the EU can no longer rely on those extra months. "In order to travel to the EU, all passports must be no more than 10 years old on the day you arrive in your European destination. "And you'll need at least three months on your passport on the day you head back to the UK. "Figures have shown up to 100,000 holidaymakers a year face being turned away at airports if their passport is more than 10 years old. "The 10-year rule only applies to countries in the European Union but every country may have different rules on what is accepted - some countries like South Africa, for example, insist you have at least six months left on your passport when you travel and a full clear page." We've listed all of the countries where you need at least three months on your passport. And here's how to get a fast track passport renewal.

Beautiful 900-year-old castle just 3 hours from London now open to public after revamp
The 900-year-old castle is the subject of a Channel 4 documentary, featuring Stephen Fry, focusing on its expensive restoration project. A stunning castle, commissioned by William the Conqueror during the Middle Ages has reopened to visitors after a £27.5million restoration project. The 900-year-old castle, based three hours from London, offers the perfect day out with all five floors of its keep, from its basement to the battlements, now open to guests for the first time in its history. Grade I-listed Norwich Castle, completed in 1121 by King Henry I, was one of the first to be built after the Norman conquest of England, with limestone imported from Normandy to construct its sturdy walls. A five-year scheme, called the Royal Palace Reborn project, was launched in 2020 before suffering costly setbacks posed by the COVID pandemic and challenges importing steel following Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Elsewhere, several unknown Norman and Victorian features were discovered during the restoration mission, along with replacing a leaky roof, which contributed to pushing back the original 2024 opening date. CNN has labelled Norwich Castle 'one of Europe's most magnificent medieval castles' and East Anglia one of the 'underexplored' regions of the UK for visitors. Initial costs for the repair project were earmarked at £20million, but this soon rose and continued until a reported final figure in the region of £27.5million was reached before allowing guests back into the castle. Channel 4 is set to broadcast a documentary, narrated by Norwich's own Stephen Fry, following the restoration project, titled 'The Castle, Rebuilding History'. The film is set to air on Channel 4 on Sunday (August 24) at 7:30 pm. Best-selling author and historian Alice Loxton has visited the castle since its grand reopening on August 4, declaring it "one of England's greatest castles," in a video posted to her TikTok account, which has more than 880,000 followers. "My favourite part of this is that they have recreated lots of the rooms as if it were the year 1121," she explained to viewers. "So, this gives you an amazing impression of what it was like to visit a royal palace in the 12th century. And, though we might often think about the medieval world as a place of bare stone walls and not a very colourful place, what you're really struck by when you wander around these rooms is that it's vividly coloured, with all sorts of ornate patterns and decoration." There is free admission available for Norfolk Museums Pass holders while visiting adults (age 19 plus) are charged £15.30 if booking online in advance and £17 on the day. There is a family adult discount price, when purchased with a child ticket, setting customers back £13.95 online in advance and £15.50 on the day. Likewise, Child (age 4-18) tickets are £13.05 in advance and £14.50 on the day, while children aged four or younger can enter free.
