Holywell (Cornish: Tregew)[1] is a coastal village in north Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. It is at Holywell Bay (Cornish: Porth Heylyn),[1] about three miles (5 km) west-southwest of Newquay.[2]
Holywell beach adjoins the settlement to the northwest and Penhale Camp, an army training establishment regularly used by cadets, is half-a-mile to the southwest.[2][3] On the north side of Holywell beach Holywell Cave is accessible at low tide and contains many pools formed by natural buildup of minerals.[4] In the cave is St Cubert's holy well.[5]
W. J. Burley, the author of the Wycliffe novels, lived in Holywell until his death in 2002.[6]
