My grandmother was born in Cornwall in 1895 and her father and uncle were miners. She emigrated to the US when she was 12 years old. In 1979 she and I traveled back there to visit her cousins. The cousins took us on a road trip all over Cornwall - it was a wonderful trip. So much to see - and so much we didn't have time to see. Thank you for this video!

I don’t know why some Cornish dislike the tourists
It helps are economy and stopping us becoming even MORE deprived than we already are

Grab a mountain bike and cycle the Mineral Tramways, 40 miles of off road cycle trails around the Truro, Camborne, Redruth and Portreath area and it's completely free including parking at Devoran, South Wheal Frances and a few other places. Lots of places to eat and drink, also take in the spectacular views from the summit of Carn Marth and Carn Brea if you're feeling fit.

Love a Cornwall holiday. We had a beautiful walk around Zennor headland and a drink in the Tinners pub afterwards and a look around the little church with the mermaids chair. We like St Ives with all the fab beaches. We enjoy the Mount and never bore of a visit. Tintagel Castle is even better now I think with the new bridge making it a bit easier to get to. The scenery from the Minack Threatre and the Porthcurno beach are awesome. We like the Eden Project but its always in my mind how man made it is. We like places like Trerice house - beautiful garden in the summer. We like Mousehole for a little visit and Sennen Cove etc. We also like Perranporth - especially when it had the Ponsmere Hotel! Sadly now demolished. Love the watering Hole. So much to mention .... new ideas are always good

I spent 2 weeks in Cornwall last summer and the beauty of this area is just incredible. I vlogged all of the trip and hoping to come back for another 2 weeks to hopefully finish exploring the whole region! I find it so hard to narrow it dow to a list of only 15-20 places as there is so so much! Loved the presentation of this video Alex! :D
