Gets the best of the UK weather. Nice beaches. Surfing. Pasties. Cider.
What is there not to like?![]()
I live in Cornwall and Cornwall does not get the best of the UK weather.
In Summer when it's 28C in London and the South East, Blue Sky etc, it will be 18C in Cornwall, with in shore breezes and quite a lot of cloud. It very rarely get's above 20C in Cornwall, in fact this Summer it happened on only 5 occasions.
In Winter it is wet, windy and absolutely miserable, it will be warmer than the rest of the UK due to the wet and windy weather, so even if it is -5C in the rest of the Country it will be about +5C in Cornwall.
The surfing is good, but trust me if you go to Newquay be prepared to surf with every tom dick and harry thinking they are in California or Hawaii while trying to stand up on a 1ft wave. Move down the coast to St. Agnes or Godrevy for better surfing.
And as for Cider, that is Somerset, which is about 100 miles from Cornwall.
