r/Cornwall

Hello 👋, we're a couple who's coming to Cornwall for the extended weekend. The plan is to drive from London to boscastle, explore the Tintagel castle and port issac. Stay a night near that area and the next morning, driving to Redruth or Helston for 2 nights base. Basically Sun, Mon and Tues we're planning to explore st Ives, lizard point, kynance cove, Falmouth, st Michaels. Back to London Tuesday evening.

We would love any recommendations for places to see or remove. Also the weather will be great (hopefully), how busy is it going to be?

Thank you for reading.

The bar is last years ‘Inspector Moors’ 😄 what have you got?

My other half and I are due a visit in next couple of weeks, staying near St Dennis.

I'd like a recommendation for what you think is the best chippy and the best Chinese takeout. Also bookshop - preferably pre-owned books.

If you want to recommend anything else for us go ahead, feel free - must be doggo friendly!

Edit: my husband is a remote worker with a good wage so no (immediate) jobs needed on relocation! I’m a vet nurse and will grab an opportunity when one arises.

Myself (31), my husband (36), and our two spaniels are looking to relocate from the Midlands (i know, ew) to North Cornwall. We really like the look and feel of Boscastle and have a budget generous enough to buy a 3-4 bed house there - we would welcome people’s opinions about living in Boscastle and/or the surrounding areas, both good and bad!
I’m from North Devon (Westward Ho!), so I’m no stranger to summer-time tourist crowds, before you all come for me with the “there are so many tourists” comments 😉

I walked through this village in February and it honestly felt like everyone had disappeared. Restaurants shut, empty car parks, hardly anyone around except one guy walking his dog. Came back now and suddenly it was packed, queues everywhere, struggling to walk down the same street. Genuinely felt like two different places.

Port Isaac Series:

Set in the weathered fishing village of Port Isaac on the rugged northern coast of Cornwall, Port Isaac is a meditative anthology series about ordinary lives brushed by the unexplained. Across narrow stone lanes, storm-beaten harbors, and cliffside paths swallowed by sea mist, the village quietly collects its own folklore — stories passed between generations like salt on the wind.

Each short episode drifts between memory and myth, where loneliness, beauty, grief, and wonder linger just beneath the surface of everyday life. The sea remembers everything here. And sometimes, the village does too.

Episode 1 | "Everlasting Sun" | Synopsis (*Spoiler Warning*):

The story centers on a strange man that enters the town at night. He draws a sun in chalk at different places in Port Isaac. In the morning the locals are bewildered and confused why an adult is doing this. Soon there is a heavy rainstorm. Miraculously, the chalk drawings withstand the rain and cannot be erased. The locals call it magic and the children play in the sun drawn areas. The mysterious stranger leaves without spilling his secrets, and the locals remember him as a folk lore legend.

Hope you guys enjoy the show, I had a fantastic time making it!

Hello, Cornwall. Friendly Devon maid here (please don't roast me too hard, I love you guys 😭). My family is from all over the Westcountry, not just Devon, and I've been teaching myself a bit of Cornish recently to deepen my connection to the land. I wanted to learn a Brittonic langauge, and I chose Kernewek because it's the closest to home and, as I said, my family is from all over. It's a beautiful language. ANYWAY, to the Kernewek speakers, is there a way to say "Devonian" in Kernewek? If not, is there a logical way to put that word together that would make sense? I'm attempting to write a poem in Kernewek about the Westcounty, and I want to talk about "Cornish seas" and "Devonian hills", and also "Devonian" as in people (just in case that would be different).

Meur ras ♥️

What do you expect the trains to London to be like with the bank holiday and half term this weekend? I have family visiting and they’re worried about crowds and packed trains
