About Us

Cornwall.co.uk is created by locals and lifelong Kernow enthusiasts. It says what it is on the tin — but what’s inside is carefully curated, not mass produced.

We don’t simply showcase Cornwall. We interpret it. We live it. And we filter it — stripping away the clichés, the noise, and the faceless directory listings to reveal something more considered, more credible, and more useful.

This is Cornwall, seen properly — through a local lens and a simple guiding rhythm: Explore. Experience. Enjoy.

This is not a catalogue of Cornwall. It’s a curated lens on it — where everything is designed to move naturally from Explore → Experience → Enjoy.

Our editorial approach is guided by one principle: Kernow First.

  • Knowledge – insight drawn from lived, local understanding, not surface-level research
  • Exploration – places that earn their reputation with those who actually know Cornwall
  • Relevance – experience things worth your time, not just your attention
  • Narrative – the stories that sit beneath the postcard version of Cornwall
  • Originality – no recycled lists, no generic recommendations
  • Worth – if it doesn’t matter, it doesn’t make the cut

We are independent, Cornwall-focused, and deliberately selective. Every recommendation exists for a reason. Nothing is there by default.

Lisamarie is a writer and researcher with a long-standing love for Cornwall – its towns, coastlines, folklore, and everything in between. Most of her work involves blogging and articles, often focused on places and people, which pairs neatly with her fiction writing since both sides of her work let her balance research with imagination (and indulge a fondness for obscure facts). She lives with her husband, daughter, and a cat called Cheryl in a cottage in the Kent countryside, where she writes, paints, and watches horror films.

Lydia Paleschi is a Falmouth local and freelance writer whose family have been based in Cornwall for many generations. However, it wasn’t until she spent several years living in Cardiff and London that Lydia realised that living next to the ocean is where she belongs. After moving back to Falmouth and launching her freelance career in order to make the most of a Cornish lifestyle determined by weather and tides, Lydia now spends most of her free time wild swimming and sailing in Cornish waters. And despite being lucky to travel far and wide – sailing as far away as Central America – it is the Cornish coastline that Lydia finds provides the greatest nourishment to her soul. More recently, Lydia has been exploring Cornwall in her van, which has only made her fall in love with her home county more. Lydia’s book A Guide to Wild Swimming in Cornwall aims to help others share in her love of the Cornish coastline and the wellbeing benefits that can be enjoyed by spending time there.
