I am just about to visit the UK for a week and though I won't be able to make it to Cornwall, this was such a fascinating exploration and has me so excited for my travels!
Thank you for your kind comment Carolyn 😊 I’m so glad you enjoyed the post, the museum really is a special place, feel lucky I was able to make a visit.
All the best with your trip to the UK! 🇬🇧 Are your heading to the cities? Hope you have a wonderful time.
I took me a long time to really appreciate how magical so much of the UK is. I was always so 'London-locked' in my focus, and there are a lot of reasons for that. However, I know that it prevented me from appreciating some of the really incredible ancient places that are full of story and a deep connection to nature. When I'm back in the UK I hope to visit some of these places!
I agree, it can be hard to see the magic and history in such built up places, even when I lived in a town it was hard to notice, but now i'm in the countryside it's easier to spot, for sure. It seems that British folk traditions have lasted more on the edges of England, the further central you get they seem to diminish. Maybe the Industrial Revolution helped kill off what was left after the Witchcraft Act took hold!
I hope you make it back over for a long visit sometime, let me know if you do! :)
You're welcome Chelsey! It's a pretty remote place and the museum is only open for part of the year so I feel very privileged to have made a visit. And so pleased I was able to share my experience and make you feel you were there in some way! :)

I will for sure!
I always wanted to visit while I was living in the UK and never managed the trip - thank you for this little opportunity to imagine I made it there!
