A new Cornish village, shaped for the future.
Set within Cornwall’s historic clay country, West Carclaze Garden Village is reimagining modern living with beautifully designed homes, open green spaces and a strong sense of community at its heart.
Thoughtfully created across 500 acres near St Austell, this pioneering development blends heritage with forward-thinking design, where carbon-positive homes, lakeside landscapes and walkable neighbourhoods offer a more connected way of life. With the coast close by and nature woven into every detail, West Carclaze is more than a place to live, it’s a lifestyle shaped by wellbeing, sustainability and contemporary Cornish living.
From energy-efficient homes to shared green spaces and everyday amenities on the doorstep, this is a village designed to give back both to the people who live here and the landscape that surrounds it.

Change can be scary, but we’re embracing it and hope you do to. After 14 years we are embarking on our first major redesign to the way Cornwall Living looks and feels.
We’ve spent so much time putting this redesign together and hope you enjoy it as much as as we do.
Releasing in July the new look will completely change the feel of Cornwall Living, while keeping the true spirit of the ultimate lifestyle by the sea.
Stay tuned for more updates soon.

If you’ve read anything I’ve written before, you’ll know that my favourite places to eat are never the ones that are easy to find. There’s usually a gravel track, a questionable signal and at least one moment where you wonder if you’ve made a terrible mistake. Inkie’s Smokehouse ticks all of those boxes and then adds a waterfall for good measure.

Behind the walls of history.
Step beyond the main gates of Bodmin Jail’s newest experience and uncover the stories hidden within Cornwall’s most notorious prison. The brand-new Outdoor Guided Tour invites visitors on a one-hour journey through the Victorian jail grounds, from the imposing gatehouse and exercise yard to the prisoner wings and secluded courtyards.
Led by award-winning guides, the experience reveals gripping tales of prison riots, daring escape attempts and the realities of daily life behind bars, all set against the atmospheric backdrop of this iconic Cornish landmark. Better still, the tour is dog friendly, meaning four-legged explorers are welcome too.
Guests booking the outdoor tour will also receive access to an exclusive discounted self-guided ticket, offering even more time to delve into the fascinating history of Bodmin Jail at their own pace.

On Flora Eve…
It’s just one more sleep until the world famous Flora Day, Helston’s annual spring festival celebrating the end of winter and marking the arrival of the new vitality and fertility brought by spring.
If you’ve never experienced Flora Day then you're really missing out and we suggest making the trip tomorrow.
The festivities start at 7am with the Early morning Dance, followed by the Hal-an-Tow at 8.30, The children's dance stars at 9.50 with over 1200 children from Helston’s four schools filling the street, the midday dance at, you guessed it, 12 noon before the final dance of the day when the dancers who started the day off bring it to a close with the 5 o'clock dance at 5pm.
Be sure not to miss this quintessentially Cornish celebration.

The man in the fog
@lagomchef on meeting Adam, @theaussiesmokercatering
If you’ve read any of my other articles, you’ll know that every great foodie relationship in my life has started with saying yes to something. This is no exception.
I was travelling around Cornwall with the family, carefully delaying my social media posts so as not to be mobbed by the three fans I have down here when Adam the Aussie Smoker bypassed all the fan-girling and sent me a voice note that simply said: “Come and see us and have some food YEEEEEEW.”

Spring starts at your doorstep.
As Cornwall bursts back into colour, now is the time to reimagine outdoor spaces for the season ahead. @oltco Recycle Bound surfaces bring together clean design and conscious living, transforming patios, pathways and driveways with a seamless, durable finish that works in harmony with the landscape.
Crafted using recycled plastic, each installation not only elevates your home but helps reduce waste, giving new purpose to materials that would otherwise be lost. The result is a space that feels as good as it looks, ready for long summer days, garden gatherings and moments outdoors.
