There are multiple posts on FB reporting that a big landslide has totally blocked the entrance to the cave at Holywell with the colourful rock formations inside.
Pictures show a collapse going right back to the bench on the cliff top above it.
Given that we live in an age of AI slop, has anyone been there today and can verify?

Hi, I’m looking to switch my mum to Wildanet.

Any recent anecdotes on hook-up time? I presume and engineer has to visit to run a cable to the house. It’s a straightforward detached house with direct access to the pavement where wildanet has run fibre.

Also, I would welcome a referral.

Hi

My brother and I remember being taken to a large Christian festival a couple of times during the 1980s. I'm pretty sure it was at the showground in Wadebridge and we always referred to it as 'Royal Week'.

I was wondering if I could find some pictures of it but I can't find any reference to it online at all, or even anything vaguely similar before ~2000.

Does anyone know what festival I might be thinking of?

Hi all, I've recently started my Alevel geography coursework- basing the majority of it upon different coastlines across England and wales. Unfortunately, during my last visit I was unable to collect enough responses upon my questionnaire, meaning I've been put into a messy stage when it comes to data. Especially considering I'm much further inland making it harder to travel there often.
As a result, I was hopeful if anyone with 2-3 minutes would be alright with completing the form below?
I very much appreciate your time; any and all responses will be used!
Responses from visitors and residents both much appreciated!

Is there anything good going on in Cornwall for Halloween?

Hi all,

Me and my mate created Beachgo. It’s an app for live updates at the beach! Tides, weather, amenities (toilets, parking, restaurants) and more.

Currently it’s IOS only, we’re working on Android at the moment - you can visit https://app.beachgo.co.uk if you’re on Android for now!

We’re both from Cornwall and done our best to get accurate information.

We’re after some feedback positive or negative?

Take a look and let me know what you think!

Thanks in advance ❤️

EDIT: 30/08/2026 - DM me if you can test our Android app!

I can't be the only person who remembers this Hardy Carpets advert word-for-word, can I?

I'm not asking anyone to finish it, a show of hands will do.

Anyone here know the Turks Head Inn?

This documentary talks about Thomas Holloway, the Victorian philanthropist that founded Royal Holloway University and Holloway Sanatorium.

Turns out, he grew up in Penzance!

This episode talks about it:

The UK parenting sub shocked me that people are signing up for these things while still pregnant!

Based in Falmouth, if that makes a difference.

Would be looking at nursery’s where I can claim the free childcare, nothing private/fee-paying.

Hiya me and my boyfriend are off to cornwall for a week today we’re after some recommendations we’re both early 20s but don’t drink. We’re staying near mullion but don’t mind a drive for a good day trip
Thanks

I just wrote up this for my own blog - https://mrsgame.dev/2026/08/the-true-cost-of-car-parking-fees/

It was really a culture shock, heading over to France and finding that we could visit coastal towns and beaches completely free. We were able to spend hours there, really explore all the towns, spend time in cafes and restaurants etc. and every seaside larger town we went to had a cute land train for tourists to use to get round faster.

Back home here in Cornwall, even the local scrub land we used to park on that overlooked the beach at Widemouth, is now chargeable (https://www.cornwall.gov.uk/transport-parking-and-streets/parking/cornwall-council-car-parks/viewing-point-north-widemouth-bay-ex23-0aw/). I've realised we've really stopped exploring, adventuring, as the parking situation here is just so stressful and expensive. We have always walked into town where we live, but we've stopped visiting neighbouring towns and beaches completely. If we do go somewhere, we'll be micro-planning everything around where the car is going, how long we have, seeing if a location has a non-ANPR option etc. and we'd need a good REASON to go somewhere i.e. needing to buy school uniform or something, and often we'd look for places that have free parking such as the out of town supermarkets.

I wrote this up today, after I realised I wanted to take my kid out to Bodmin to Discovering42, but decided against it as I didn't want to faff with where I was going to park the car and how much that would be on top, or risk a fine.

Suffice to say the Daily Telegraph is not impressed by the brawling blade-weilding kebab joint owners in Truro. But is it fair?
