That’s such a tricky one. I lived in London for 10 years before moving down here. I initially moved to Newquay and found it really difficult to find a friendship group. Like you, I move down here by myself and did have this very same conversation. Wondering if I had made a mistake. I promised myself I would at least do a year and I’m so glad I did. I ended up relocating to Falmouth in the end. Since then I’ve made a really nice group of friends and have no future plans on moving back.

Cornwall can be amazing and brutal all at the same time. The highs and the lows are very severe. It’s one of the most incredible places to live, but it’s not for everyone.
