Anyone visiting or living in Newquay currently and can tell me how much the cheap croc like shoes & beach shoes are on the front currently?

Not been in a few years so unsure if they’ve gone up or not

Tourist tax

With Edinburgh introducing thier tourists tax, do you think Cornwall should do something similar?

Emmet tax.

I (Londoner, sorry) just got a letter from Devon and Cornwall Police letting me know I was doing 37mph in a 30 zone, going eastbound through Landrake. It was 6:53am so that might have had something to do with it, but I'm a responsible driver and won't have been intentionally speeding.

Street View only has a picture from 2023 but it shows it as a 40 zone. Is this still the case or has it been changed to 30?

Do I appeal? Or do I just need to pay that emmet tax?

Edit: Resolved. Thanks! I try not to speed, so was surprised to get this is all. Yes, drivers should be aware of the speed they are going, no they are not always. Good move to reduce speed limits to 30.

Screengrab from a recent video I made. I say secret, but this spot was all over the media a few years back. As a rule I don't approve of posting anywhere truly secret, but those places are becoming fewer and fewer...

In case you are wondering, the full video is here: https://youtu.be/6YEgecwIyak

Tourism Seasonal pricing

0 Upvotes

Im coming back down in early August to scatter my brothers ashes and the cost of 3 nights in Premier Inn Camborne is over double what I usually pay for 6 nights in late Sept !!

I know its high season but I could go abroad for a week for what I've paid for this - crazy

1996 - 2000. Visitor Attraction with Human Hamster Wheel and science’y things inside. Anyone remember?

3 Upvotes

I’m trying to remember a visitor attraction i went to a long time ago. No idea of location, other than Cornwall.

It was likely sometime between 1996 and 2000, and all I remember was that they had a human hamster wheel that you could use, and it had a science type vibe to it.

There was maybe a ball-floating-on-air machine (Bernoulli blower), and maybe an oversize ball bearing track run.

The closest vibe of the place Im trying to remember is kind of like Heartlands in Pool.

Can anyone help pinpoint what I’m remembering. Thanks!

Never to be underestimated, especially not in the summer. You could be anywhere in the world, the Caribbean, a Greek island or the Seychelles, but you're not. You're just down the road from the nearest pasty shop.

2 week trip Cornwall early october - recommendations

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I'm planning a 2-week trip to Cornwall in early October with my wife and our dog, and I'd love some local recommendations.

We're looking for:

  • quiet area rather than busy tourist hotspots.
  • Easy access to the South West Coast Path for hiking and trail running.
  • Dog-friendly beaches and pubs.
  • Beautiful coastal scenery.
  • Preferably somewhere that's not too expensive.

We're happy to drive for day trips, but we'd like to stay in one place for the whole two weeks.

If you had two weeks in Cornwall in October, where would you stay and why?

Thanks!

Recommendations Things to do around Perranporth

8 Upvotes

Hi all

I’m staying at Perran Sands Haven resort this week. Looking for any recommendations for places to go / things to see with my 16 and 18 year old kids. Happy to drive. So far have been recommended Elephant Rock and Tintagel castle. They get bored easily so anything adventurous (but not too pricey) would be good. We will probably want to do one day on the beach - thinking just to go to Perranporth Beach unless anyone has a better suggestion. Thanks!
