I love going down to Cornwall out of season, there's nothing better than a winter walk on the beach and walking around the towns without foot shuffling
I live in Cornwall, about a half an hour away from newquay, the local primary school girls were being given self defense lessons when the berrisford was full of economic migrants, women were being harassed and followed home by North African men, it got to the point that the local community decided to offer a 'sort of' chaperone service where groups of local people would help women and girls get home safely by walking with them. Nothing to do with bias, or ignorance, people were concerned for their, and their families safety. Which is never ok
No they’re not priced out. Plenty of cheap houses for sale in Redruth or Camborne. I’d like to live in Mayfair or park lane but unfortunately I’m priced out of there.
For me, living in Pensans, the best period of the year is April-May (Late Spring to Early Summer) because daylight hours are increasing, the weather is generally improving - there are often days where the temperature reaches the low 20sC - and yet there are still relatively few tourists around.

Love you wendell! Your open-mindedness is so refreshing. I moved from bude to penzance last year and find penzance a lot less dead in winter but not as vibey in summer, as you said about Newquay- always something going on/a bit more towny
Living in Cornwall as I do, I like to see tourists having a good time. However, I'm delighted to have Corneall back out of season. I visit all my favourite beaches and places. Pretty much everything stays open in my town. There are lots of great places to eat and drink. I love the crazy weather, and garden all year round.
Fascinating video, thanks. We have spent plenty of time in Cornwall during the summer over the years but this Christmas was our first trip down in the winter. We visited Looe and Polperro with an afternoon up in Padstow too. I was surprised how many people were there although it was obviously far quieter than summer.
I'm glad that you highlight the plight of the UK homeless 👍 ..but as a local to Newquay i'm well aware of the issues the occupants of the hotel have brought to the town, thefts for sure.. A woman was r@p€d in Newquay only the other week..(foreign man, Albanian/Romanian found guilty) Like you stated, we should all take our resources from numerous news channels, and that means the negative stories also 👍
also people in this country would like a better life free from prosecution particularly this government not giving a damn about its own people especially disabled and our own elderly and ex servicemen. unless you have money you cannot exchange council properties unless you have a connection to the area. yet asylum seekers can go anywhere and be housed in hotels we can not afford to stay in and they moan about the condition of the hotels and not being housed. most of the crime is worst now and most reported in the local papers people found guilty it is often foreign people that is fact. charity should begin at home. in our home town it is white english people that are homeless and the migrants in hotels. it is not the white english peoples choice to be homeless. rape stabbings drugs etc now common place here too. in a recent video showed sandbanks but not turlin moor or bourne estate, west howe etc. bournemouth is the same as newquay now . if a war happenned here where would we go to escape who would have us and help.
I holidayed in Perranporth in September 2017 and i experienced the most wildest weather i have ever seen anywhere. There was a storm and a very high tide (it's called something can't remember) and the sea was boiling with the water going over the sea wall, flooding the car park and nearby roads. Never seen anything like it, the waves were enormous. Quite an experience.

something that stands out about cornwall is that you hardly ever hear a cornish accent anymore,is it now removed at birth one wonders.also its a great shame the council does not look after the homeless that has been on the streets for ages and lived here all there lives,bet they would love a hotel room ,and thats why people are so against the migrants.great vid keep um rolling.
I love it . All summer I'm just gagging for the tourists to piss off. I was working on that site btw . Summer does my head in . Parking gets taken up. Traffic becomes awful. I hate board masters because they close the road and i have to drive all the way around.
@@chrishaz1122 Now I'm a software developer (self taught), but when I first moved here I did everything: glass collecting, henna tattooing, bar work, cleaning, portering, factory work, insurance, sales, everything lol..... back then there wasn't any work in the winter months, but now it's like anywhere else...
I think most people are concerned about the many millions of tax payer money being spent on people (per day) who have broken immigration laws to enter the UK especially when there are so many people living on the streets right now. How is it justified? Perhaps if they were authentic asylum seekers people would feel better but they clearly aren’t or they would have sought asylum in one of the many countries along the way. They are treated better in the UK than anywhere else in Europe, at your expense, which is why they continue to arrive. Yes, have an open mind as you point out but make sure your brain doesn’t fall out in the process.
Something which is often overlooked and in many cases outright ignored is many of those coming across the channel and being placed in hotels and other accommodation across the country come from parts of the world and cultures with polar opposite views on women and children .... some other their cultures view them as practically third class citizens with ZERO rights ..... this is NOT a good situation for women and children in the areas having hundreds of these illegal migrants placed with the local population .
Look up the meaning of the political term "Decontrol". Perhaps if we didn't go around trying to back American Foreign Policy everywhere like central Africa, Latin America and the Middle East then thousands wouldn't be fleeing conflict that WE CREATED.
Great Video its interesting to see Perranporth and Newquay in the winter. Back to Liskey hill in Perranporth in June for a month. Good to see that Wateringhole is open in Winter, had our wedding reception there back in 1997. Looking forward to watching this again with my French wife who loves Cornwall. The Asylum seekers have got a Good hotel with an amazing view. If they deserve it good for them. Just around the corner from where i am in Wolfenschissen 🇨🇭 we have a hotel for mothers with their children from Ukraine. Appreciate the Video a lot.
I find it interesting that no one has a problem with Ukrainian refugees but if they are from Afghanistan, Syria or Somalia etc ‘it’s a disgrace’ 🤔 i wonder why??? Glad you enjoyed it mate 🙏
@@WendallExplores Good point and i hate to say this but maybe its because they look like Us? Well dressed middle class with blue eyes. Everyone’s should be treated equally from wherever they come from…
What a stupid thing to say, maybe people are upset because the UK is spending thousands on homing the refugees, and in the meantime spending no money or showing no support to the HOMELESS BRITISH young people and seniors who have been waiting for years or months just to have somewhere to live, nobody cares if theyre afghani, and people are upset at the middle east refugees because there has been multiple cases of them raping schoolgirls/grooming and raping uk children and some have still been allowed to REMAIN, thats why some people are upset, GOOGLE IT, the easiest thing to say is because theyre brown people are upset, no theyre upset because of these reasons and they should be upset @@clives344
Interesting video! Strange to see the empty tables at the Watering Hole! 😳 I myself visited St. Ives for a few days this week. I have been there several times during summer and it is really different now. I loved walking in the almost empty streets now. The light was different, the weather more powerful and there is always possible to get a table in a restaurant. Many shops and some restaurants are closed in the winter but I still had enough choices. What was the main drawback in my opinion is the short days. I'll be back later. Possibly in the spring or autumn 🤩
Lived in Newquay over Covid. Was a long winter, and the wind gets to you! As we left in Nov we really noticed that the town was shutting down which was a shame, going out to eat etc becomes tough. But good to see the town lively in the vid mate! Keeping an eye on the property market down there, it looks like rental prices have chilled out quite a bit so maybe more locals moving back to the town over winter?
Love this video, a passionate subject in tourist hot spots. Personally I've never profited from tourism and I've lived in 3 tourist seaside resorts in my life so I can say that I find the holiday seasons unbearable as tourists descend on your local area and ruin it for the locals, it takes 2x long to get anywhere, there's way more litter around and left on our beautiful beaches, they walk out in front of your car often licking ice creams too busy looking at the views to not realise they stepped in the road, parking is a nightmare everywhere and the beaches are like sardine cans you just don't want to go to the beach in the 6 weeks holidays. The peak months are April, May and September, weather nice but its not too busy
I prefer the spring and autumn and living on the Lizard peninsula, I don’t venture too far in the busiest 6 weeks of summer, with only one main road to Helston and beyond, but I still think we get off fairly lightly here compared to bigger tourist areas. When I was a teen, my friend and I would walk to Marazion beach in the summer from Ludgvan and I don’t remember it being really busy on the beaches, but I was seeing it through the eyes of a teen maybe and it was a very long time ago 😉Been to a couple of weddings in Newquay and took our kids to the the Marine Aquarium once, but that’s about it. Poldhu beach cafe opens all year round except for Christmas Day BTW. Interesting video as always.
@@WendallExplores Me too, lived in this part of Cornwall for nearly 30 years after living in Hayle and Ludgvan before, I couldn’t move from here now, it is very special.
I wish I have time/holidays in offseason...but as a teacher I only can visit in peak season. Sorry if I will disturb you in August, but your area is so beautiful , that I would love to come...I love England, since I was there in Milton Keynes when I was 16. I was 6 or 7 times in GB . Once in scotland. And this year I hope I can visit the south in August...I live in a tourist area, too. I think it depends on every Person....some tourists are nice but some...I will try to be a good tourist..
@@WendallExplores good times make weak men, Funny the same men said that in Telford ,Rochdale . ...thousands of children left to suffer . Soy latte Sir.
How do places and people actually survive during the winter? I mean it’s difficult to make ends meet now, must be so hard not being able to work or trying to find alternatives to earn money
I think the locals prefer Cornwall to themselves, many no longer see themselves has English, more people prefer a winter holiday in the sun, like the Canarys , Carrabbiean , lifes to short to worry about what people think in the UK
Lovely video, I think a lot of holiday makers in the uk are changing their holiday preferences, we have a top end holiday let in North Yorkshire and we are fully booked through winter, including Christmas and new year. I do love Devon and Cornwall.
True Fred, I can think of many. I went for Perranporth and Newquay because I knew they would be very quiet compared to summer, but there would still be SOME locals around to talk to.
It was great driving around today (early November) until I got to Truro and then it was bumper to bumper, but they weren't shopping in town. Why? Because they were all in the supermarkets. It has been a very quiet season this year. The quietest I can ever remember. Not sure if this is going to be a trend moving forward. The weather is now pretty rubbish every year and this doesn't help. I don't understand this 'there is nothing to do in winter'. There were lots of things going on years ago. Cornwall life carried on all through the year. The only difference was it was quieter in winter, but everything was still open. Maybe there weren't so many touristy places back then and there are a lot more bars and restaurants now than there used to be which are all fighting for the small trade which is why they have to close up in winter.
I like Cornwall from Mid September until the beginning of July. I don't mind the winter weather, in fact I have always wanted to be there to video the storms but always seem to miss them. End of April is good too as you get the Trevithick steam day. So you lost forty quid in the arcade, you should know better - the arcades have always been worse robbers than the council!
You guys in the UK are lucky and still can enjoy winters...here in Spain is becoming summer all year long, and not in a positive way, the climate change can´t be resersed...in a few years all Southern Europe will be a wasteland.
I’ve nothing against people fleeing troubled countries , I have got a problem for single men ( no women or children ) doing the same when our streets are full of homeless
Spring ,summer, autumn man myself , yes quiet in winter , busy as fu@k in the summer. Peak trading then ,the rest of the time . We really do rely on tourist trade in the summer dispite what people say . Managed an an outdoor shop for twenty years . Easter started to pick up , summer did great if it rained but the outdoor life started to pick up more over the years. I know still pretty good now out of it what with hols away tricky . Only thing I'd say the inferstructure is lacking to cope with it and since leaving the EU and G7 it's started to become a bit of a rip off with parking and price rises but we will need it more than ever I feel. I guess if one wasn't effected or work in hospitality they wouldn't understand and complain which I do get . Anyway there's my tuppenyworth xx
The lack of trees and greenery is very striking.I finally saw a bench but most of it is endless walking in the concrete environment. Of course,walking on the beach is nice but the concrete town is depressing.
So you missed the view of the bowling green and gardens? Lack of trees on the coast is down to the strong persistant winds and is not peculiar to Newquay or Perranporth. Trees just dont like constant high winds and salty spray.🤣🤣
If you think everyone should be allowed into this country, I suggest you remove the front door from your house and leave your money in a pile on the kitchen table. See how that works out for you.
This isn't really limited to coastal towns. University towns also suffer from this. I went to uni in a city near to where I grew up and during term time it was lively and vibrant, during the holidays, empty. I understand the problem, masses of people that are just visiting are not really invested in the area but pretty much all the shops are geared towards them. You spend your life with annoying people getting in your way or facing the reality that without them, yu live in a ghost town.
Liked you video was interesting but i must say don't you think our homeless should be in hotels ? charity begins at home. that doesn't mean I'm a bad person as I'm not! Far from it & a lot of people say there are no chidren & women! & not war torn countries I'm all for helping any genuine people in need and less fortunate but please put our homeless in hotels first they need help food and warmth they are our people !
I used to live in Newquay, went to School there got my first job there and although I had to move away to find any work that was not seasonal I still love the place. Yeah, sure Summers were great, but as a local you were usually working to try and save money for winter, so summer was just one long slog. Like everyone I had several jobs so never really got to enjoy summer much after I started work. But whilst at school it was a hoot I liked it all year round, it was different and exciting for a teenager. Yes, the cornish do dislike Emmets. However, can you blame them? Wouldn't you get the strop if a large group of people descended on your home, abused your hospitality and threw up everywhere, were rude, disrespectful and entitled for 5 months and then left without a thank you or "sorry for the mess"? You can almost hear a collective sigh of relief when the season ends, it's pretty much Hell for many people. I bet there is not a single person who wouldn't you be grumpy after rinse and repeat of that for years and years ...
I lived in Cornwall as a chef for 3yrs the locals are the most unwelcoming people iv ever met ,summer or winter ,and iv traveled the whole of the UK, and hone from South America to East Asia, Cornwall foes not like outsiders 😂
You can't tar all tourists with the same brush! I've visited Cornwall every year for 41 years and know it better than some 'locals'. Locals were the people to first sell their homes to outsiders....so blame yourselves or your family history. I don't own a second home by the way. I have visited Cornwall every month of the year....it is a place that prople visit all year round. What you say about Cornwall could be said about alot of holiday destinations around the UK. Tourists provide the Cornish with a living....stop complaining! You are complaining about tourists asking for the wifi code whilst creating a video for TH-cam that you will be hoping others watch! 😂 Cornwall is just part of the UK like anywhere else and is to be shared by all.
So rude..we aren't left behind..left alone is more like it. There are more car accidents, robberies, drunken disorder and fights in Cornwall when tourists are here than when not..
I dont want to mention the housing thing cos ill get weepy ....tez empty and dark ...and my adult children have no chance of purchasing a home where they were born ...it makes my teeths itch ! Just not fair ....rant over
Summer for me Wendall so you get to see the happy smiling faces of the tourists VS the miserable looking faces of the ever complaining "locals". You can always spot a local vs a emmet. I don't believe most of the one's you interviewed where "locals" for two reasons Wendall. 1/ most had a smile 2/ the accent CORNWALL 🤔 They complain when they have no tourists and they complain when they do!!!
see my comment to davidpeters7536 we do think for ourselves by what we see locally and have experienced. if england is a democracy then why is everyone told you have to think what everyone says you should feel about mass immigration here and woke . you cannot carry on filling a full jug up of water and that is our island so full now .
Economic migrants (is Albania at war then?) . Would you classify yourself as a migrant or anyone that is not true Cornish (someone which goes back generations in Cornwall - listen to the accents 😂👂😂). Obviously it would be difficult for you to make criticism of economic migrants. And what about our own "housing crisis" and "homeless" and where do they originally come from? Are they Cornish? Where they Cornish that sold grans cottage which is now a holiday let and they are now "homeless"? Are they migrants from England that wants a better life by the beach? The reality is Wendall is connected or benefits from tourists.. Take the guy that works at Jewson and all the building work you complained about at the start. How much work is associated with holiday let's or apartments being built. Well at least they are honest hard working tax payers... Ooops I must be one of those far right people
I’ve certainly been made to feel like an outsider and migrant in my own nation of the UK in the comments to these videos over the last two years. You have asked a lot of questions above.. I tend to judge people on a case by case individual basis rather than generalise. We know nothing of the suffering of any of those that walk the streets when we pass them on first impressions.
@@WendallExplores Believe it or not I know exactly the attitude by some in Cornwall or Kernow as some call it. And what you may have experienced. There is a more ugly nasty side which exists in Wales and Scotland to a greater extent = hate English because of history, and some want to be separatists in Cornwall or "locals only" minority (is it a minority? ) . Although I'm not sure in Cornwall because they are mostly English, so the dislike for incomers or outsider is based on what as incomers themselves ? Resentment and jealousy ? It's difficult to judge in Cornwall I can't put a finger on it but probably linked to money knowing them. If you are TRUE Cornish you are a outsider or migrant in their nation Wendall. And if they dislike you because you turn up and start changing the character of the place = building ugly apartments then I'm with them 100% so f*** o** back to england. But here's the thing, good old Cornish Wendall puts up flats. Well done local boy makes good proper job😊, nice to see local boy make good. English outsider Wendall puts up flats. F***** money grabbing developmenter, why don't you go back to England, first home not second will cry the "locals" from London Birmingham etc As I said it difficult to point the finger on it... me thinks money and resentment not social justice is the root.
@@slloyd7926 honestly mate, I’m pretty tired of the ‘outsider’ conversation now. It’s been going on for 2 years on this channel, and I have made videos about it in the past, but I’m done with it now. I literally couldn’t give two sh1ts about where a person is or isn’t from. I’ve travelled a lot of the world and have learned that 99% of people everywhere are good and they just want the best life possible for them and their family, regardless of where that will be.
@@WendallExplores Spot on enjoy life in Cornwall Wendall. But here's the thing I have a issue with. Why do people like to Sh1t stir by causing divisions and resentment how people wish to live and spend their money or buy first house or second house! Here's a snap shot Wendall into what I mean.. Media none none none stop year in year out! St Ives Town Council and Cornwall Council how many of them are "local" not even cornish yet they like to spin the narrative poor me. You point one finger you will see three pointing back 👈. So people can't complain with the click bait posts... Come on look at the title "Ghosts Towns" Wendall who are you trying to kid. Other than that your video stuff is alright.
@@slloyd7926 welcome to TH-cam. If you don’t want people to click, you wouldn’t upload. The term ‘clickbait’ is over used these days. Newspapers have been doing it with article headlines for a lot longer.
I wonder if you will feel the same when the sexual crimes soar on the back of young muslim male migration as they have across Europe. Your naive perspective that these people are being persecuted abroad, and that is why they come is laughable. 50% were coming from Albania until recently, the biggest group now are from India. Being nice is a good thing being naive a dangerous thing

something that stands out about cornwall is that you hardly ever hear a cornish accent anymore,is it now removed at birth one wonders.also its a great shame the council does not look after the homeless that has been on the streets for ages and lived here all there lives,bet they would love a hotel room ,and thats why people are so against the migrants.great vid keep um rolling.
I found out where the homeless of Newquay go in my next video. Thanks for watching 🙏
Harbour Housing are amazing, their work with homelessness in Cornwall is essential.
I love it . All summer I'm just gagging for the tourists to piss off.
I was working on that site btw .
Summer does my head in . Parking gets taken up. Traffic becomes awful. I hate board masters because they close the road and i have to drive all the way around.
Went last Christmas stayed at Falmouth and travelled around - had lunch at Old Success Inn at Sennon Cove was amazing - best christmas ever
Lived in Newquay for 27 years and absolutely love it. September being the best month for e as hot weather, quieter, good surf....
What do you do for work?
@@chrishaz1122 Now I'm a software developer (self taught), but when I first moved here I did everything: glass collecting, henna tattooing, bar work, cleaning, portering, factory work, insurance, sales, everything lol..... back then there wasn't any work in the winter months, but now it's like anywhere else...
@@PaulnJenna interesting I thought the same about the winter months there wouldn't be no work
@@chrishaz1122 There is now, especially in the surrounding cities etc. Newquay is busy all year round now.
@@PaulnJenna maybe one day I can get down there and out of Birmingham
My mum was the one who was in Cargoes, Perranporth. “The butcher, the Bakers, the candlestick makers” haha, she loves a chat!
🤣🤣
I think most people are concerned about the many millions of tax payer money being spent on people (per day) who have broken immigration laws to enter the UK especially when there are so many people living on the streets right now. How is it justified? Perhaps if they were authentic asylum seekers people would feel better but they clearly aren’t or they would have sought asylum in one of the many countries along the way. They are treated better in the UK than anywhere else in Europe, at your expense, which is why they continue to arrive. Yes, have an open mind as you point out but make sure your brain doesn’t fall out in the process.
Something which is often overlooked and in many cases outright ignored is many of those coming across the channel and being placed in hotels and other accommodation across the country come from parts of the world and cultures with polar opposite views on women and children .... some other their cultures view them as practically third class citizens with ZERO rights ..... this is NOT a good situation for women and children in the areas having hundreds of these illegal migrants placed with the local population .
Why doesn't the well govt funded SERCO look after our legally here homeless like they do the illegals ?
@@ledz9312 not part of the plan 😉
Well said my friend!
Look up the meaning of the political term "Decontrol".
Perhaps if we didn't go around trying to back American Foreign Policy everywhere like central Africa, Latin America and the Middle East then thousands wouldn't be fleeing conflict that WE CREATED.
Great video as always 🤙 always prefer the winter
Thank you 🙏 Because I am going to move to the Cornwall good to have a lot of information.
Plenty of info on here for you, hope it is helpful
Great Video its interesting to see Perranporth and Newquay in the winter. Back to Liskey hill in Perranporth in June for a month. Good to see that Wateringhole is open in Winter, had our wedding reception there back in 1997. Looking forward to watching this again with my French wife who loves Cornwall.
The Asylum seekers have got a Good hotel with an amazing view. If they deserve it good for them.
Just around the corner from where i am in Wolfenschissen 🇨🇭 we have a hotel for mothers with their children from Ukraine.
Appreciate the Video a lot.
I find it interesting that no one has a problem with Ukrainian refugees but if they are from Afghanistan, Syria or Somalia etc ‘it’s a disgrace’ 🤔 i wonder why???
Glad you enjoyed it mate 🙏
@@WendallExplores Good point and i hate to say this but maybe its because they look like Us? Well dressed middle class with blue eyes. Everyone’s should be treated equally from wherever they come from…
@@clives344 my point entirely 👏
What a stupid thing to say, maybe people are upset because the UK is spending thousands on homing the refugees, and in the meantime spending no money or showing no support to the HOMELESS BRITISH young people and seniors who have been waiting for years or months just to have somewhere to live, nobody cares if theyre afghani, and people are upset at the middle east refugees because there has been multiple cases of them raping schoolgirls/grooming and raping uk children and some have still been allowed to REMAIN, thats why some people are upset, GOOGLE IT, the easiest thing to say is because theyre brown people are upset, no theyre upset because of these reasons and they should be upset @@clives344
Autumn to early spring best time to live in Cornwall even away from the maddening crowds!!
Interesting video! Strange to see the empty tables at the Watering Hole! 😳 I myself visited St. Ives for a few days this week. I have been there several times during summer and it is really different now. I loved walking in the almost empty streets now. The light was different, the weather more powerful and there is always possible to get a table in a restaurant. Many shops and some restaurants are closed in the winter but I still had enough choices. What was the main drawback in my opinion is the short days. I'll be back later. Possibly in the spring or autumn 🤩
Glad you enjoyed your visit
Lived in Newquay over Covid. Was a long winter, and the wind gets to you! As we left in Nov we really noticed that the town was shutting down which was a shame, going out to eat etc becomes tough. But good to see the town lively in the vid mate! Keeping an eye on the property market down there, it looks like rental prices have chilled out quite a bit so maybe more locals moving back to the town over winter?
Oh people don’t know what they are missing.
Winter in Cornwall would be really exiting. I love storms.
It's great
Love this video, a passionate subject in tourist hot spots.
Personally I've never profited from tourism and I've lived in 3 tourist seaside resorts in my life so I can say that I find the holiday seasons unbearable as tourists descend on your local area and ruin it for the locals, it takes 2x long to get anywhere, there's way more litter around and left on our beautiful beaches, they walk out in front of your car often licking ice creams too busy looking at the views to not realise they stepped in the road, parking is a nightmare everywhere and the beaches are like sardine cans you just don't want to go to the beach in the 6 weeks holidays.
The peak months are April, May and September, weather nice but its not too busy
Glad you enjoyed it Mr Nature. Yeah I can imagine if you are nout to do with tourism the summer would suck
@@WendallExplores I can't moan too much as I've chosen to live in nice places were people like to visit for good reason so you just get on with it
Great video thanks.
Oliver i think you’ve found a better life in Cornwall….i couldnt live there the summer invasion would be difficult..
Enjoyed. Everyone luvs Cornwall
The woolly hat and the Heavy jacket is a clue.
It's the weather that tourists want.
Can you do more winter places mate.
You mean videos of places in winter in general or more ghost towns in winter?
Not just ghost town places, but winter towns in Cornwall. Thanks.
I prefer the spring and autumn and living on the Lizard peninsula, I don’t venture too far in the busiest 6 weeks of summer, with only one main road to Helston and beyond, but I still think we get off fairly lightly here compared to bigger tourist areas. When I was a teen, my friend and I would walk to Marazion beach in the summer from Ludgvan and I don’t remember it being really busy on the beaches, but I was seeing it through the eyes of a teen maybe and it was a very long time ago 😉Been to a couple of weddings in Newquay and took our kids to the the Marine Aquarium once, but that’s about it. Poldhu beach cafe opens all year round except for Christmas Day BTW. Interesting video as always.
Love the Lizard 🦎
@@WendallExplores Me too, lived in this part of Cornwall for nearly 30 years after living in Hayle and Ludgvan before, I couldn’t move from here now, it is very special.
It’s grim in winter, spent a long time in Redruth, travelled around on me days off... its very slow indeed
I wish I have time/holidays in offseason...but as a teacher I only can visit in peak season. Sorry if I will disturb you in August, but your area is so beautiful , that I would love to come...I love England, since I was there in Milton Keynes when I was 16. I was 6 or 7 times in GB . Once in scotland. And this year I hope I can visit the south in August...I live in a tourist area, too. I think it depends on every Person....some tourists are nice but some...I will try to be a good tourist..
Do you research about hotel residents.
No 🤣🤣 I just let them enjoy their holiday and focus on my own life 🤣
@@WendallExplores good times make weak men,
Funny the same men said that in Telford ,Rochdale . ...thousands of children left to suffer .
Soy latte Sir.
How do places and people actually survive during the winter? I mean it’s difficult to make ends meet now, must be so hard not being able to work or trying to find alternatives to earn money
Alternatives like make TH-cam vlogs.. yeah it’s tough 🤣
I think the locals prefer Cornwall to themselves, many no longer see themselves has English, more people prefer a winter holiday in the sun, like the Canarys , Carrabbiean , lifes to short to worry about what people think in the UK
Beresford hotel Emmet Central
Lovely video, I think a lot of holiday makers in the uk are changing their holiday preferences, we have a top end holiday let in North Yorkshire and we are fully booked through winter, including Christmas and new year. I do love Devon and Cornwall.
Nice Vibes Stay Safe All❤
i love Perrenporth and Newquay i am a tourist and have been going for 9 years i know the locals hate us but it gets the economy going you know
In some Cornish villages there is no life at all in the winter. They are totally second homes or holiday lets with no locals left.
True Fred, I can think of many. I went for Perranporth and Newquay because I knew they would be very quiet compared to summer, but there would still be SOME locals around to talk to.
@@WendallExplores I went to Newquay once, once was enough.
@@TheBuckspygmy 🤣
Including Portreath, all the new mansions there you know darn well your old homestead no longer has any locals there anymore sad to say😢
My village is very busy all year round.
Perranporth is mint one of my favourite spots mate
You should try Polperro in winter. At least ghost towns have ghosts to liven it up.
We don’t….😂
Who scared the ghosts away?
@@WendallExplores The weird locals.
It was great driving around today (early November) until I got to Truro and then it was bumper to bumper, but they weren't shopping in town. Why? Because they were all in the supermarkets. It has been a very quiet season this year. The quietest I can ever remember. Not sure if this is going to be a trend moving forward. The weather is now pretty rubbish every year and this doesn't help. I don't understand this 'there is nothing to do in winter'. There were lots of things going on years ago. Cornwall life carried on all through the year. The only difference was it was quieter in winter, but everything was still open. Maybe there weren't so many touristy places back then and there are a lot more bars and restaurants now than there used to be which are all fighting for the small trade which is why they have to close up in winter.
Is RetroBlast open though? You should go in Warrens for the best pasties
I don’t know if your taking the Michael re Warrens being the best pasties 🤣 As in Warrens the chain?
@@WendallExplores You're not down with it? ha ha
Warrens are some of the worst.
Is the sea polluted there? Loved Perranporth as a kid
yes, very
I like Cornwall from Mid September until the beginning of July. I don't mind the winter weather, in fact I have always wanted to be there to video the storms but always seem to miss them. End of April is good too as you get the Trevithick steam day. So you lost forty quid in the arcade, you should know better - the arcades have always been worse robbers than the council!
Even Dick Turpin wore a mask
its even more crusty in winter ?
!!! You walk past my flat 🤯
Stopped going to Cornwall after many years - M5 congestion/crashes anyone?
It's now far worse.
You guys in the UK are lucky and still can enjoy winters...here in Spain is becoming summer all year long, and not in a positive way, the climate change can´t be resersed...in a few years all Southern Europe will be a wasteland.
Surf is best out of season. I love Cornwall in winter. Newquay rocks 🤙
Newquay in the summer is bonkers. Great for local businesses but not for me.
I’ve nothing against people fleeing troubled countries , I have got a problem for single men ( no women or children ) doing the same when our streets are full of homeless
Spring ,summer, autumn man myself , yes quiet in winter , busy as fu@k in the summer. Peak trading then ,the rest of the time .
We really do rely on tourist trade in the summer dispite what people say . Managed an an outdoor shop for twenty years . Easter started to pick up , summer did great if it rained but the outdoor life started to pick up more over the years. I know still pretty good now out of it what with hols away tricky . Only thing I'd say the inferstructure is lacking to cope with it and since leaving the EU and G7 it's started to become a bit of a rip off with parking and price rises but we will need it more than ever I feel. I guess if one wasn't effected or work in hospitality they wouldn't understand and complain which I do get . Anyway there's my tuppenyworth xx
The lack of trees and greenery is very striking.I finally saw a bench but most of it is endless walking in the concrete environment.
Of course,walking on the beach is nice but the concrete town is depressing.
So you missed the view of the bowling green and gardens? Lack of trees on the coast is down to the strong persistant winds and is not peculiar to Newquay or Perranporth. Trees just dont like constant high winds and salty spray.🤣🤣
If you think everyone should be allowed into this country, I suggest you remove the front door from your house and leave your money in a pile on the kitchen table. See how that works out for you.
This isn't really limited to coastal towns. University towns also suffer from this. I went to uni in a city near to where I grew up and during term time it was lively and vibrant, during the holidays, empty.
I understand the problem, masses of people that are just visiting are not really invested in the area but pretty much all the shops are geared towards them. You spend your life with annoying people getting in your way or facing the reality that without them, yu live in a ghost town.
Liked you video was interesting but i must say don't you think our homeless should be in hotels ? charity begins at home. that doesn't mean I'm a bad person as I'm not! Far from it & a lot of people say there are no chidren & women! & not war torn countries I'm all for helping any genuine people in need and less fortunate but please put our homeless in hotels first they need help food and warmth they are our people !
Please watch my latest video
at 11:03 into the video you mention a Russian police car? what? is that 🙃😄
It was definitely Russian
I used to live in Newquay, went to School there got my first job there and although I had to move away to find any work that was not seasonal I still love the place. Yeah, sure Summers were great, but as a local you were usually working to try and save money for winter, so summer was just one long slog. Like everyone I had several jobs so never really got to enjoy summer much after I started work. But whilst at school it was a hoot I liked it all year round, it was different and exciting for a teenager.
Yes, the cornish do dislike Emmets. However, can you blame them? Wouldn't you get the strop if a large group of people descended on your home, abused your hospitality and threw up everywhere, were rude, disrespectful and entitled for 5 months and then left without a thank you or "sorry for the mess"? You can almost hear a collective sigh of relief when the season ends, it's pretty much Hell for many people. I bet there is not a single person who wouldn't you be grumpy after rinse and repeat of that for years and years ...
11:00 I wouldn't expect a Russian police car to be seen in Newquay either!
If that war out east goes the wrong way you might
@@WendallExplores it actually says that on the TH-cam subtitles!
@@mawkernewek probably won’t show the video to people because of controversial dialogue 🤣
I lived in Cornwall as a chef for 3yrs the locals are the most unwelcoming people iv ever met ,summer or winter ,and iv traveled the whole of the UK, and hone from South America to East Asia, Cornwall foes not like outsiders 😂
You can't tar all tourists with the same brush! I've visited Cornwall every year for 41 years and know it better than some 'locals'.
Locals were the people to first sell their homes to outsiders....so blame yourselves or your family history. I don't own a second home by the way.
I have visited Cornwall every month of the year....it is a place that prople visit all year round.
What you say about Cornwall could be said about alot of holiday destinations around the UK.
Tourists provide the Cornish with a living....stop complaining!
You are complaining about tourists asking for the wifi code whilst creating a video for TH-cam that you will be hoping others watch! 😂
Cornwall is just part of the UK like anywhere else and is to be shared by all.
I can hear the Don Henley song now "The Boys of Summer" but performed by the Sex Pistols.
Whitby dosent have an off season…a local told me that….
So rude..we aren't left behind..left alone is more like it.
There are more car accidents, robberies, drunken disorder and fights in Cornwall when tourists are here than when not..
I dont want to mention the housing thing cos ill get weepy ....tez empty and dark ...and my adult children have no chance of purchasing a home where they were born ...it makes my teeths itch ! Just not fair ....rant over
Went there in 2019 , the town is a bit of a dump, beach is ok .
Ghost towns. Try poor inland towns in Kernow. Life can be very difficult.
I made a video in Camborne addressing this issue, it’s the most watched video on the channel, give it a look 👍
Summer for me Wendall so you get to see the happy smiling faces of the tourists VS the miserable looking faces of the ever complaining "locals".
You can always spot a local vs a emmet.
I don't believe most of the one's you interviewed where "locals" for two reasons Wendall.
1/ most had a smile
2/ the accent
CORNWALL 🤔
They complain when they have no tourists and they complain when they do!!!
Illegals u mean
Best time to be in Cornwall when all the idiots have gone home!
Wait… your country has homeless people, however, they house migrants in a seaside hotel with views?
Everywhere’s rubbish in the winter.
Well said , this bloke obviously is a little short of any sort of mind
id sooner be there in winter than summer , local people and traiders are great its when you get the money grabbers in the summer that pees me off
Cornwall is GRIM in the Winter and it rains for 8 months.
see my comment to davidpeters7536 we do think for ourselves by what we see locally and have experienced. if england is a democracy then why is everyone told you have to think what everyone says you should feel about mass immigration here and woke . you cannot carry on filling a full jug up of water and that is our island so full now .
Seek a better life? What on the back of the English tax payer! Free free free! Wake up fella!😢
Beach is ok , town is a dump
Loads of homeless now migrants
I find it insulting, you imply that if my opinion does not concur with yours re illegal immigrants that I am unintelligent.
Full of english.
Economic migrants (is Albania at war then?) .
Would you classify yourself as a migrant or anyone that is not true Cornish (someone which goes back generations in Cornwall - listen to the accents 😂👂😂).
Obviously it would be difficult for you to make criticism of economic migrants.
And what about our own "housing crisis" and "homeless" and where do they originally come from? Are they Cornish? Where they Cornish that sold grans cottage which is now a holiday let and they are now "homeless"? Are they migrants from England that wants a better life by the beach?
The reality is Wendall is connected or benefits from tourists.. Take the guy that works at Jewson and all the building work you complained about at the start. How much work is associated with holiday let's or apartments being built.
Well at least they are honest hard working tax payers... Ooops I must be one of those far right people
I’ve certainly been made to feel like an outsider and migrant in my own nation of the UK in the comments to these videos over the last two years. You have asked a lot of questions above.. I tend to judge people on a case by case individual basis rather than generalise. We know nothing of the suffering of any of those that walk the streets when we pass them on first impressions.
@@WendallExplores Believe it or not I know exactly the attitude by some in Cornwall or Kernow as some call it. And what you may have experienced.
There is a more ugly nasty side which exists in Wales and Scotland to a greater extent = hate English because of history, and some want to be separatists in Cornwall or "locals only" minority (is it a minority? ) .
Although I'm not sure in Cornwall because they are mostly English, so the dislike for incomers or outsider is based on what as incomers themselves ?
Resentment and jealousy ?
It's difficult to judge in Cornwall I can't put a finger on it but probably linked to money knowing them.
If you are TRUE Cornish you are a outsider or migrant in their nation Wendall. And if they dislike you because you turn up and start changing the character of the place = building ugly apartments then I'm with them 100% so f*** o** back to england.
But here's the thing, good old Cornish Wendall puts up flats. Well done local boy makes good proper job😊, nice to see local boy make good.
English outsider Wendall puts up flats.
F***** money grabbing developmenter, why don't you go back to England, first home not second will cry the "locals" from London Birmingham etc
As I said it difficult to point the finger on it... me thinks money and resentment not social justice is the root.
@@slloyd7926 honestly mate, I’m pretty tired of the ‘outsider’ conversation now. It’s been going on for 2 years on this channel, and I have made videos about it in the past, but I’m done with it now. I literally couldn’t give two sh1ts about where a person is or isn’t from. I’ve travelled a lot of the world and have learned that 99% of people everywhere are good and they just want the best life possible for them and their family, regardless of where that will be.
@@WendallExplores Spot on enjoy life in Cornwall Wendall.
But here's the thing I have a issue with.
Why do people like to Sh1t stir by causing divisions and resentment how people wish to live and spend their money or buy first house or second house!
Here's a snap shot Wendall into what I mean..
Media none none none stop year in year out!
St Ives Town Council and Cornwall Council how many of them are "local" not even cornish yet they like to spin the narrative poor me.
You point one finger you will see three pointing back 👈. So people can't complain with the click bait posts...
Come on look at the title "Ghosts Towns" Wendall who are you trying to kid.
Other than that your video stuff is alright.
@@slloyd7926 welcome to TH-cam. If you don’t want people to click, you wouldn’t upload. The term ‘clickbait’ is over used these days. Newspapers have been doing it with article headlines for a lot longer.

vis hotel anover va do you mean this another & the 🤦♂
I wonder if you will feel the same when the sexual crimes soar on the back of young muslim male migration as they have across Europe. Your naive perspective that these people are being persecuted abroad, and that is why they come is laughable. 50% were coming from Albania until recently, the biggest group now are from India. Being nice is a good thing being naive a dangerous thing
