Our Story

Cornwall’s magic runs deep—through sandy toes, salty air, and memories that last a lifetime. This is how one family fell in love with it, and why we’re building a community to share its charm.

Why Cornwall Steals Hearts

For us, Cornwall is more than a place—it’s a feeling. It’s the crunch of chips by Padstow’s harbour, the thrill of chasing waves with a bellyboard, and the quiet awe of a sunset over rugged cliffs. Summers filled with fishing nets, rock pools, and sunburnt knees. Those childhood days turned into a lifelong love, sparked by a mother who saw Cornwall’s soul in every cobbled street and crashing wave.

She’d wander Padstow’s lanes, charmed by its fishing port buzz and the warmth of its people. Her impulsive spirit—once buying a house on a whim after popping out for cheese—taught us to embrace Cornwall’s magic. That love inspired CornwallThrive, a place to share stories, celebrate local businesses, and keep Cornwall’s spirit thriving.

From Tintagel’s myths to Newquay’s surf, Cornwall has a way of pulling you in. Whether it’s your first visit or your hundredth, there’s always a new memory to make. Join us in exploring, sharing, and celebrating this incredible corner of the world.
