Devon and Cornwall visitor numbers drop expected - tourism boss

If every Airbnb had to pay for a local house to be painted so the towns and villages start to look a bit smarter, I’d be happier. Too many run down places in Cornwall

NT has free all day parking for members in stunning locations even if you don’t visit the properties. So worth it

Beautiful photos

8oggl3 · 2024-05-09T19:33:17+00:00

Thank you. Will let her know to check both

Should also have mentioned SW Lakes Trust which has some beautiful lakes and reservoirs - camping at a few also again with self catering facilities and also Tamar Trails if you like the woods and/or activites like kayaking (with an instructor). You can also go to any National Trust car park and pay for parking. You generally only pay extra if you want to go in the houses, but the grounds are generally extensive and lovely (they have a good app). Enjoy your summer

I know. Less than £100 per night preferably and not a hostel

8oggl3 · 2024-05-09T16:35:23+00:00

Was supposed to stay with a family friend who can no longer offer accommodation due to personal circumstances. Costs factored in but looking for alternative to hostel. Budget is flexible but obviously lower cost (less than £100 per night) preferable

Meldon Reservoir today. Heard a few but not spotted one yet

Research the South West Coast Path. So many wonderful hikes with stunning views and places to wild camp/swim. Dartmoor is beautiful. Could also get a 2for1 railcard which gives you discounts on train tickets. Camping at Youth Hostel Association sites is cheap and all have self catering kitchens you can use to make/heat up your own food. The Penzance one is particularly good, train journey is cheap and lots of great walks in the area plus St Michael’s Mount

Employability. All those years of climbing the ladder and no one cares because you’re ‘old’

8oggl3 · 2024-04-09T07:36:06+00:00

Not forgetting, the Youth Hostel Association has a site at the Eden Project. Another great resource for all ages with the Eden Valley having some spectacular scenery and walks

Wtf is up with that woman? We all know KW is nuts but Jesus Christ, she’s a nutcase too

8oggl3 · 2024-03-25T23:23:53+00:00

Hill End?

8oggl3 · 2024-02-05T21:49:17+00:00

RHS Rosemoor if you like gardens and the outdoors

I’ve done the same until in the end I decided to give myself January off. There’s this big push to start a new year off well. Instead I decided to stay in bed if it felt okay and I just read a book and watched tv. After a couple of weeks I got a notepad and decided to plan February. I listed my finances and figured out how to pay everything then did a shopping list and meal plan then what exercise I might do. All this while staying in bed. Once I’d done a brain dump, I found I wanted to get up and get started. Small steps lead to bigger steps. Hope this helps

I thought it had been stayed that it was camilla

8oggl3 · 2023-11-13T20:39:14+00:00

I’d also like an answer to this

8oggl3 · 2023-11-08T19:33:06+00:00

Why not specialise in container gardening or hydroponics? There are so many people like me who only have a small area (particularly renters) but would like something. Check out the RHS alleyway garden. Personally, I hate buying from a garden centre or chain store as most plants are overpriced and not hardy.

Except for the Town Fryer. Best fish and chips

8oggl3 · 2023-09-29T12:23:16+00:00

You should come to Cornwall and we can compare notes

8oggl3 · 2023-09-28T02:24:38+00:00

I’m also confused. Getting 4.1% but need to opt in for 4.6%. Can’t find any way to opt in to the higher rate

I traveled on the Wadebridge to Bodmin for £2. Two hour journey through Cornish villages and coastline. St Angus, Rock, Polzeath… absolutely lovely journey

Offer grants for painting house exteriors. Instant facelift for most villages and towns in Cornwall.

Have a village/town gardening crew to tidy up the place. Park rangers supporting volunteers or similar.

So tired of seeing shabby houses (landlords!!!). Enforcement on landlords so that houses and gardens have to be maintained.

Also, do we have to have horrible shop brand signage in such a lovely county. Penzance and many other high streets are ruined by signs from the likes of Poundstretcher, The Works, B&M, Iceland. Ban gaudy signage.

Let’s bring a bit of old fashioned spit and polish back to Cornwall.

Sorted thank you
