Phaeton Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 Just now, Stubby47 said: To be fair, it's free to get in. But parking is extremely expensive and there are double yellow lines for at least a couple of miles on the approach. And all the attractions are expensive too. Even having your piccy taken with the signpost. Are you sure, we were in Cornwall last year, funnily enough 2 weeks before it opened for the season but I thought it was about £15 each, but memory may serve me wrong, last time we actually went the kids were little & they are now in their 30's at that time there was hardly anything there, just a signpost.

RMweb Premium Clive Mortimore Posted January 17, 2020 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted January 17, 2020 Following on from Stu's tourist guide to Cornwall I would like to put my twopenny worth in about tourism in Lincolnshire. For all those who are considering bringing their caravans to Lincolnshire can I recommend you go to Devon, I understand it is quite nice there. If you have been before I am sure there are beauty spots like Plymouth dockyard that you haven't seen and surely you would need to tick locations like the one suggested off your bucket list. 2 1 10 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite a few caravans at both I seem to remember. As far as Cornwall goes, my wife is from Newlyn just west of Penzance. It might have had compensations in the days of the Hydraulics, but sadly nowadays has next to no redeeming features, and in fact is one of the most economically deprived parts of Britain. As for the locals view of their health services, I'd better keep quiet for fear of legal action, should we say don't get sick while you're there.

And no Greggs - which IS a good thing Ha yes, sadly the Council here has apparently voted through Mac's planning application for Oakham, so the evil empire will soon be reaching us - shame really! As far as your adopted county is concerned, I find its situation really sad. Penzance could be a very attractive town with some decent planning and investment, but nothing could be more of a deterent to visitors than the bottom of the main street as you walk up from the station. It hasn't helped as well that many troubled young folk see it as a glamour destination when their families fall apart and they leave home A friend of ours worked at the Samaritans before his death and part of what they did involved helping folk from the Midlands and North who had happy memories of holidays as children and thought they could be rekindled in some way. As young, homeless and destitiute adults, it didn't work out like that. There is (contradicting myself), one redeeming feature, and that is the quality of the light on a good day. This is quite spectacular, and as I'm sure you know responsible for the Newlyn school of painting. John. 5 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
