About Portreath
Portreath sits along the B3300 in the heart of Cornwall. As a former mining port with a popular beach on the north coast, it attracts both visitors and through traffic heading to Redruth and Camborne. Portreath Beach and Portreath Harbour are the main draws. Portreath's steep harbour road once carried copper ore to the coast — modern drivers find the 1-in-4 gradient equally challenging. We've been recovering vehicles from these roads for years.
