What Cornish villages are best to live in?

Question

We have two children and already live in Cornwall (just) but hope to move further in, in the next few years with the view to settling. Where are god places to look, and where should we avoid? We need to be within 30mins of Truro.

Answer 1

I live in Lerryn, about a 30 minute drive from Truro, and it's truly gorgeous.http://uk.images.search.yahoo.com/search...

My village inspired Kenneth Graham to write "wind in the willows" and "tales of the riverbank" and is one of those "sleepy" villages you sort of "stumble on" by accident. The average population is about 350, but rising to 500 during summer, due to second homeowners. The tiny school has 38 pupils, and we only have 1 pub, and a small village shop. We don't get over-run with tourists, but the ones we do get, come back year after year. The nearest town is Lostwithiel, and we are slap bang between Truro, and Plymouth. The nearest coastal resorts are Looe, Polperro, Fowey, and Polruan.

Answer 2

There are many different Villages close to Cornwall. Try looking at google maps to see what is nearby.

Try the St Erme, Trispen and Truthan area - all villages nearby to each other and a very short distance to Truro!

Answer 3

Talk to the school secretary in you area and some real estate people and talk to a police chief or captain, ask them what would be a good area and why, write out your questions first and take a friend along and pretend you are doing research for a book or something. Compare what you find with a pros's and con's list and go from there.
