I'm gonna move next summer, need a change.
I was looking at London but it's way to expensive and thought about Cornwall. What's it like round there? What are the people like (I hear it's a bit clicky), house prices (been looking on some sites and seems well pricey), employment opportunities etc?

I've been on holiday to Cornwall alot of times and I love the place, but I could never live there. It is clicky - you'll always be an 'outsider' in a lot of places in cornwall, no matter how long you live there. The property is very expensive - obviously very sought after these days, being one of our favourite tourist destinations. Employment opportunities? Not alot really - it depends where you go in Cornwall. Somewhere like Truro you would probably be okay, but it's not like there's cities and towns everywhere full of offices and the like. Like I say, I love the place for a holiday, but you seriously need a plan if you ever want to move there...
Gerroff my land!
Erm, I'm guessing it'd be quite boring. The pubs would be full of ale drinking old men with wooly jumpers moaning about their crops dying and local post offices closing. And I wouldn't imagine the clubbing scene is especially hot either.
Maybe I'm wrong.
Many places in Cornwall are owned as second homes by rich people in London, so out of season you might find many places dead and houses empty.
If money would be an issue, I would look at other places to live :thumb:
The quality of clubs depend on where you go really. Newquay has loads, Truro and Penzance both have a couple too. And Plymouth isn't too far for some bigger clubs.
It really isn't the stereotypical old men drinking in the pubs and farmers everywhere. Truro particularly has some good pubs and bars.
The only downside I think would be the job opportunities, but I guess it depends what you do really.
Bit of a ramble, but there you go.
