Thanks for all the advice.

It sounds like I will really like it.

[Andy H]

I made the move 7 years ago, I wish I had done it 20 years ago.

Visited Dartmouth for a week last September. Very peaceful. Dolphins in the harbour, along with hms Shefield. Quietly busy little place. A neat trick that.

As a frequent visitor over nearly 40 years with several family members down there I would say that to be happy uprooting you have to be a particular type of person if you do not have a lot of cash. The weather can be depressing but that does not bother me too much others find it a problem. It can all be a bit parochial, amateur dramatics etc but if you like coastal walking and a bit of solitude you will do just fine. My niece is married to a farmer who has large sheep farm in most spectacular setting. In short I think a townie needs reasonable cash resources to enjoy Cornwall

I love Cornwall. The peace, the scenary, the variety, the solitude. Not sure I could actually up-sticks and mov there though. Esp with the tourists.

Is there not a season for tourists like there is for grouse?

Not since that aussie craze of falling off planks every time a wave comes.

Oh I am sure a resurgence could be arranged,  bit like the badger cull, just not so cruel

Very British, must be a great place to live

The bird who crops my barnet now lives on the south coast in Cornwall, and see loves it.

Seeing as the rail lines are a bit shagged, I'm guessing I'll need to find someone else to cut my mop for a few months

Looe is lovely as is polperro. You will love it there especially in summer


plus there's a great Forum member who lives just across the water in Devon

Not sure we want your kind of pyrotechnics down here

I used to live in Westminster, near Victoria Station, so I'm used to tourists. I've been bashed by suitcases countless times.

I'm getting on bit now. My favourite hobby is walking my dogs and talking to you lot on here. I can still do that in Cornwall (hopefully).

Been drinking my home made wine so better go to bed now.

Didn't know you could shoot tourists in season 

Used to go to Cornwall a lot for surfing - now my x-wife and two of my kids have lived there since 1986 - issues appear to be it closes in winter and is overcrowded with emmets (tourists) in summer.  Changed a lot since my days of surfing at Fistral.

there is a season for both,but i don't think the constabulary,would appreciate you treating grokles the same as grouse.

first thing to get rid of would be them bloody wooble boxes,that block every road,and cant go backwards.

I think the local constabulary could be brought on side if we cut them in on the action, say we provide the tools and snacks etc

People who move to Cornwall rarely leave even for a day trip to Trago!   

I've a mate who moved to Newquay 20 years ago and it's easier getting blood out of a stone than getting him across the Tamar and I've also got family near Helston and it's a similar story with them!   

No harm in checking it out. Good Luck!!
