Thanks to Auntie Doris, Jack & Ian - I've now reached 1000 comments. We'll hold a party soon - BYO wieners.

Ian,

To answer your query... Cornwall is the most beautifulk place in the UK after Wales and the highlands of Scotland. It is great tourist destination and has the best of the weather and temperature most of the year. In addition, if you go by train, you get to run along the seawall at Dawlish, one of the most iconic and beautiful parts of the British Rail network.

This is what you get, the red cliffs and the seawall. It always brings back memories of summer holidays in the mid to late 70's. It was also the best part of collecting Kat the Cougar from Torquay.

In addition you have many small, attractive seaside towns and villages, the moor around Bodmin and it is the best place in the UK for surf. I don't surf but I love swimming in the Atlantic rollers around St Ives.

This is St Ives, one of Cornwall's most beautiful towns. You have the harbour and three superb beaches.

You also have places like Padstow, The Lizard (famous for its Serpentine rocks), Land's End, Fowey etc etc.

When you come back you really need to go there.
