Tristram House, New Polzeath

A Memory of Polzeath.

I was introduced to Cornwall and Polzeath when as a teenager I went to an Anglican young people's house party at Tristram House. I absolutely fell in love with Cornwall and remember wonderful walks across the cliffs to Port Isaac. Watching the tide crashing in over the rocks just below the house and riding the surf on the wooden belly boards were just some of the joys I remember! I remember the lovely ladies who looked after us, sharing their faith and encouraging us in our own walk, I've never looked back having been a practicing Christian for many years now and also having exprienced many wonderful holidays in Cornwall ever since. Earlier this year I returned to New Polzeath and was sad to see that Tristram House seemed very neglected but actually quite glad to see it was still as it was! So many happy memories but I wonder about the house....who owns it now?
