Lovely place for a walk and some lunch 😊

Yes: the thing about these quaint little Cornish towns is if you want a cup of coffee it’s going to cost you nine or ten quid because you have to buy the fully Cornish cream tea. Can’t just get a coffee : so if you are doing quaint this year take a flask

The bird songs in the UK are superior.

HAVE YOU GOT A VOLUME CONTROL FOR THAT RIVER ? OH, HANG-ON, I'VE GOT ONE HERE . NOW, THAT, IS WHAT I CALL A UNSPOILT ORIGINAL CORNISH VILLAGE.

Looks beautiful but the sad truth is this village like so many cornish and devon villages are dead. The local population has been priced out and the majority of houses are owned by people from far away cities who only stay in them a few weeks through the year.
