5 Reasons Cornwall Will Never Be the Poorest Place in the Country

There has been a recent economic survey of the United Kingdom by the government, and unsurprisingly Cornwall came out towards to bottom with regards to infrastructure, financial spend and employment.

Cornish Secrets don’t really subscribe to that philosophy or way of thinking – and although financially Cornwall can’t compete with a lot of country, we think there’s a lot more here besides making money. Here are 5 reasons why you’ll never be poor in Cornwall.

Community
There’s not many places in the UK you can say rival Cornwall for the ‘togetherness’. The communities of Cornwall – from the artists to the surfers to the miners to the fisherman are part of the reason everyone comes together and makes the area such a special place to live and visit.

Landscape
From dramatic cliffs and rolling countryside to Cornish hedges and narrow lanes – the size of Cornwall as a county ensures variety and interest no matter where you go. There’s a bit of everything – the area is rich in landscape and geographic variety.

The Sea
Of course, the sea! The sea drives the very notion of Cornwall – the reason people come here, live here, breathe the air and come back for more. It drives the tourism, the economy and maintains the stunning landscape. Without the sea Great Britain is nothing, and it’s what makes Cornwall what it is. It has a richness nowhere in the country can rival.

History
The history of Cornwall is not run of the mill. Stories which travel through ancestors make up part of the area’s DNA, and Cornwall is a wealth of history stretching back further than a lot of the rest of the country.

Entrepreneurship
The idea of making your own way – striving for yourself and an alternative way of life – that’s what makes Cornwall rich. As a region it doesn’t feel the need to conform to the way the rest of the country feels the need to live. It’s unique, diverse, and rich in culture and best of all provides an experience like no other.

If this sounds like what you’re after, Cornish Secrets operate a wide variety of beautiful Cornish Cottage holidays and alternative stays in some of the most beautiful parts of the county. Contact us today for more information.
