The Duchy
Cornwall listings, maps, and local finds — I look after the site from here.
Cornish.co.uk is a directory for the county. Places to stay, somewhere to eat, beaches, towns, activities, shops, local services — the ordinary stuff you actually need when you're here or live here.
I'm not trying to sell Cornwall to you. I'm trying to make it easier to find your way around, and to give local businesses a fair shot at being found.
1998
I was on Trevaunance Cove at St Agnes and picked up a small stone from the beach. Dark, worn smooth, with a pale cross-like mark in the middle — the sort of thing you almost put back, then don't.
I kept it. Pocket, desk, shelf. No big moment. It was just there.

Later
When cornish.co.uk came up for sale, I didn't have a pitch deck or a five-year plan. I thought about that cove, and the stone, and decided I wanted to build something here — something useful, rooted in the place.
Today
Help visitors find what they need. Help locals and businesses get seen. Keep it straightforward.
Mostly me. I add and update listings, tweak the maps, and fix things when they're wrong or out of date. It's not a big team behind a glass wall — if you spot a mistake, I'd genuinely rather you told me.
If you run a business in Cornwall and you're not listed yet, you can add yourself. And if you just want to get in touch — question, suggestion, or otherwise — feel free.
