Wild Campsites in Cornwall

Q. I have just bought my first tent and me and my husband want to go to Cornwall and camp out in the wilds (not at a site) just for one night.

I know nothing at all about where you can and can't do this and was hoping to camp somewhere near Zennor - how can I find out about good spots just to stop over for the night and where this is/isn't permitted?

If I was going to camp at any sort of organised site I would prefer something like a field on a farm or at the back of a pub - not a "family" site with facilities.

Any tips appreciated... ?

A. Having wild camped Land's End - Porthcurno several times - most probably you will find lots of places!

Just follow normal etiquette and you will be fine!
