To be fair, Truro, Newquay and St Ives are towns. Seaside towns in the Summer, in the UK, are mostly rubbish. I suggest that you’re doing it all wrong.
For the ‘real’ Cornwall you need go out of season to shove a pastie/flagon of apple-y tasting chemicals cider in your face whilst walking into the wind along a gale-blasted coastal path, under leaden skies. Keep exploring until you get the ‘free lift home’ from the nice Coastguard helicopter.
– A30 in the rain is an experience worth many playlists.
– Costa coffee machines are available at a number of service stations.
– Browse some out-of-season bargains/used cars and vans in Bodmin. They are all £399 with ‘no known faults, drives great’.
– rent a damp and musty self-catering cottage for slight less than £900 a week. Free ‘Holiday’ magazines included, with coupons. 3p off a trip to the Monkey Farm? Sorted.
– Fancy risking life and limb cycling down the A39 to see the outside of the now-closed Bicycle Museum? Free to anyone brave enough to attempt it.
– Cast-resin pesky-fairy-wizards are available at Tintangle along with cornish pastie recipes printed on authentic Cornish tea-towels.
– Locals are super-friendly out of season. Pull over into the layby behind those trees so as to photograph the giant wind-farm over the road. Those occupants of that Pink Nissan Skyline won’t bother you, he seems to be smoking some very fragrant tobacco, while she seems to be trying to fix the zip on his jeans. With her face.
‘Alwroigh?’
‘Yes thanks, was just taking pics of the turbines, I’ll be going now’
‘Fair play loike’
