"We used to live in Cornwall. My brother calls it an elephants graveyard. Moving out was the best decision we've made." And you're now in wales? I've genuinely considered moving to the valleys! But why "elephants graveyard?" | |||

"It helps that I'm (Drew) Welsh, but yeah we ended up in West Wales. Very similar but much more central and connected. Because of the amount of people who move down their to retire and die. Because of the generational divides and the demographics, Cornwall will always be what it'll be. 50 years behind the rest of the UK." Lol that totally makes sense! | |||

Technically I'm half Cornish, but was born in Wales. Lived down there for 25 years. And it's a lovely place if you're of a certain mindset. That being said, I don't know of anywhere in the UK that I would have had the freedom to explore as I did as a kid. Cornwall is lucky that for the most part, it's phenomenally safe. | |||

"Although wales has a few more swinging opportunities. Cornwall could do with a good club or a few parties " There used to be a bit of a bdsm scene, with a few regular parties. But they stopped about 2014. Munches occasionally, but swinging never really seemed to be particularly established down there. | |||

"I love Cornwall but dont think I have managed to get there all year. I usually do a few times a year. I will live there one day, Penzance/Newlyn way and dont care at all about it being a bit weird and remote. " Who said it was weird? Lol ! But yeah... I guess it is! x | |||

The most accurate portrayal of Cornwall I've seen was on Jack Whitehall's Bad Education movie. I've legitimately been in pubs, and been dragged into very similar conversations. | |||

"Born and bred in gods country. Left in 96 for work etc. Return to visit family. Cornwall still lives in my heart and I call it home. Unfortunately it's so behind in the times, good in some ways, awful in others and lots of small minded people " Yeah being behind the times is part of the charm... but also a frustration x | |||

"I used to travel down as far as Penzance for work. It reminded me of Pembrokeshire on the road going down, but the road didn't seem to end and the towns were few and far between. On my day off I decided to visit Saint Ives and I drived around for an hour looking for a place to park and gave up and drived back home." Lol finding a parking space in St Ives is as likely as winning the lottery! If I go I'm there early and park in the train station car park | |||

"Does anyone regularly visit Cornwall? For boardmasters, surfing, visiting family, or anything else? I live here and it can feel like the edge of the earth - tucked away right down the end of the southwestern peninsula. In a lot of ways I like that. But it can feel disconnected to rest of the country... and other fabbers! So if you visit. Stick a message in the comments and/or feel free to message me. Cheers me beauts! " Oh man, I miss Cornwall. Had many family holidays there over the years, Devon too. Not been since about 2016. | |||

It's nigh on impossible to park your car anywhere down in the town. When I stayed there back in 2001, we used to walk into town. | |||

"My parents had a house in Padstow in the 1970s, before Rick Stein was invented. I spent most summers there in my teens, learned to surf and sail. And of course learned many young adult lessons with holiday makers. Sadly not been back for several decades now, but I doubt its changed much." There's probably more gift shops there now. | |||

"We're not far from the border and cross it regularly for work and pleasure. I do enjoy time in Cornwall. Don't tend to get right 'down west' very often and should really make an effort to get and explore it a bit more with or without the kids I'll admit though it does feel a bit of a different world when you get past Victoria. " That's a very precise location. You could have said Bodmin but no, just a bit further. | |||
