Heres a few pics from my visit to Bude in Cornwall after Devon.
We rented a little lodge just out of town that used to be a fishing centre, the pond us still full of huge carp and the missus, who is scared of everything smaller than a cat, was completely at ease swimming with them bumping into her.
Bude is right on the border with Devon and is the top part of that leg of England that sticks out under Wales.
Its a great surfing beach, full of nightlife, trendy bars and great places to eat.
Its where we filmed those morris dancers.
The canal went past our lodge and straight to the sea and we could cycle it in 5 minutes and walk back pissed in the dark in 50.
This is where the canal goes past the sea front bars, all very trendy and atmospheric at night.
The beach is dominated by a sea swimming pool and it attracts all manner of overweight people who take great delight in diving into the flokkin freezin water in the tiniest costumes possible.
The wife wears a wetsuit, fancies herself as a watersports expert but still holds her nose jumping in from 3ft.
Its classic British seafront, fish and chips, cornish pasties, bars with people who look like pirates and sound like them.
The local accent is very ooh and aarrr, but also has that gaining pitch and rise at the end which just has to be the ancestor of that American style that I have no idea where it comes from.
Its all errrrr at the end
I used to have it and everyone thought I was American.
I used to pronounce spider... spyduuurh.
Cornwall was ground zero for tin production and the old mine buildings can be found all along its coast perched precariously on the huge cliff edges with the mines extending many miles out under the sea, relying on newly invented steam pumps to keep them dry.
It was a major driver of the industrial revolution and in its day was seen as a harsh and unforgiving landscape, but now relies on tourism as the same landscale is now beautiful to modern eyes.
Theres actually few true Cornish left, the towns are full of city folk who have moved there, pushing uo house prices through the stratosphere and turning fishing villages into Kensington by the sea
On the other hand, getting coffee early in the morning requires a nine mile drive through fog and with wild animals crossing the road in front of you! 
That's because there is only a single petrol station around!
