Camping and tides in the United Kingdom

Big tides and strong tidal streams: 5 m and more in Cornwall and Pembrokeshire, with races off headlands like St Ann’s Head, Ramsey Sound and Ardnamurchan Point. The tide pages here are predicted from national tide-gauge readings at the gauges (within a few minutes) and modelled from satellite data (EOT20) between them, not official UKHO predictions: plan passages with the Admiralty tide tables and tidal stream atlases. Wild camping is legal in most of Scotland under the outdoor access code; in England and Wales ask the landowner. All the United Kingdom regions.
