Although it's worth pointing out there's an awful lot of the south West before you get to the Tamar... mostly empty. Moving from a city to a tourist trap seems a bit of an own goal to be honest.

OTOH, I can be on the M5 (J27) in 20 minutes and from there cane it up to Bristol in 50 minutes and to London in under 2 hours.
(although the last five miles, from Hammersmith to central London, will probably take another 2 hours! )Last edited by OwlHoot; 19 November 2020, 13:37.Work in the public sector? Read the IR35 FAQ hereComment

For me, it's the wilder spots that are the most beautiful, the Lizard and the winter storms, not the touristy beaches.

Must confess that apart from the odd visit to friends out by Bodmin, we haven't been there for years. Although that's partly because a 7m long motorhome doesn't really work on Cornish lanes (or North Devonian ones, come to that...).
But yes, parts of it are simply staggeringly beautiful and comparatively free of emmets.Blog? What blog...?Comment

Love going to Cornwall out of season when the drive is a lot quieter. Nice not having to set an alarm to get on the beach car park that you want to.The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world that he didn't existComment
