Messymascot's faith in humanity and ginger safe haven

North and south coasts are. Very. Keeps the county alive pretty much. Inland, its a tad grim, touristy wise. Truro is a nice city, but folks generally holiday there for the coasts.

edit. That said, you aint that far from either coast.

Padstow is never off the TV of course. Would love to see Cornwall but suspect the expense of getting there and staying would be similar to Spain for me etc.

I feel like I know it though given how much you see of it on the box.

Pretty much in the summer. Nice and quiet thistle of year though as you can see from the pics.

Hospitality must be so reliant on locals and that can be a balancing act once the tourists arrive.

I do a fair bit of travelling after Armagh GAA and you do notice down the country that the locals get served first in a crowded bar lol

Its a strange one. My family, with a load of our parents mates, holidayed there every year for ages. A ring of caravans in a field above Porthscatho, us kids were pretty much feral for 3 weeks. Padstow, when we went there a few years later as teenagers, was like any other Cornish fishing place.

Had my stag weekend in St Ives. Me and a few mates seriously considered getting a £3000 loan each to buy a 6 bedroom, 5 story, house in the old town for £18000. We didnt bother.

Now, I wouldnt dream of visiting either place for a holiday.

One day the fashion will be your beautiful island for the monied. I just hope they ignore North Somerset, (unless they want to buy our cottage)
