SUMMER SPECIAL 2026 |

WELCOME TO THE SUMMER SPECIAL!

The idea for our Summer Special started as a way to bring all of our local leaflets together in one place, making it easier for us to hand the right area leaflet out at the Royal Cornwalll Show without tripping over each other on our exhibition stand! As it developed, it has become something entirely different, not just a collection of adverts, but a reflection of the people behind the advertising businesses, the work they do, and the difference they make in everyday life.

Inside these pages, you will not find hard sales or polished claims. Instead, you will find real stories, local knowledge, and recommendations from people who live and work here. From small moments that made a big difference, to places worth visiting and supporting this summer. You will also meet members of our team sharing the places they always go back to, the walks they love, family days out, beaches, sunsets, food and the small moments that make Cornwall special to them.

This is Cornwall, shared properly. Local businesses, local people, and the value they bring to each other every day.

Where Cornwall’s RAILWAY STORIES STILL LIVE

Chris first joined Bodmin Railway as a volunteer in 2012. When he first arrived, there were still people involved who had worked on the railway back in the 1960s, sharing stories and knowledge that still carry through today. That connection to the past remains a huge part of the experience for visitors. Beyond the steam journeys themselves, it is often the insights shared by the passionate and knowledgeable volunteers that people remember most. Behind Chris’s engineering background is combined with a genuine passion for keeping the scenes,

“

THIS YEAR ALSO MARKS 40 YEARS SINCE BODMIN RAILWAY REOPENED ”

part of Cornwall’s railway history alive. Keeping the railway running is a constant task, with decades-old equipment continually adapted to meet modern standards and safety requirements. This year also marks 40 years since Bodmin Railway reopened to the public, with a new steam engine due to appear over the summer as part of the ongoing celebrations. ….. Another chapter in the railway’s long story begins.

Clare’s Cornwall Days Kids Actually Remember

DAYS OUT

Written By: Clare Grundy Edited By A. Williams

I honestly think the days children remember most are rarely the expensive ones you spend weeks organising. It’s the random little moments that become the stories that are told years later. One year we ended up wandering around the harbour lights absolutely freezing cold but the kids loved every second of it. Another time we spent half a day riding trains, eating chips and drinking hot chocolate, which somehow became one of the highlights of the holidays.

That’s what I love about family days out in Cornwall. You can go from beach or cliff walks to woodland streams, train rides, caves, ice skating or feeding animals all within hours.

We’ve learned pretty quickly that our children don’t really care whether somewhere is trendy. They care whether they can climb on it, splash in it, feed it or nearly fall into it.

And honestly, those are the days we remember best too.

CLOSE TO CORNWALL.

DISCOVER THE ISLES OF SCILLY, just for the day.

Cornwall may be where your holiday begins, but for those in the know, the day that stays with you is the one spent on the Isles of Scilly. Just beyond the familiar coastline lies a slower rhythm, quieter beaches, clearer water and islands that feel a world away. Arrive by boat or plane and let the day

unfold at its own pace. So simple to reach.

So hard to leave behind...

12 | WWW.THECORNISHLOCAL.CO.UK SAIL ON SCILLONIAN III FOR HER FINAL SEASON BEFORE WE WELCOME SCILLONIAN IV

SUMMER SPECIAL 2026 |

So you’ve heard of the Isles of Scilly… BUT HOW DO YOU GET THERE?

Just 28 miles off the coast of Cornwall, the Isles of Scilly might feel like a world away - but reaching them is easier than you think.

With white sands, crystal-clear waters and a laid-back island rhythm, it’s no wonder thousands of visitors make the journey each year for the ultimate day trip escape. This tiny archipelago is made up of five inhabited islands, each with its own distinct charm. Whether exploring by foot, bike, boat or kayak, there’s something deeply restorative about a day spent on Scilly. Think coastal walks, swimming in turquoise coves, wildlife safaris, or unwinding in a beachside café with local food and sea views. Travel by sea on Scillonian III from Penzance, where the scenic crossing becomes part of the adventure, taking in landmarks like the Minack Theatre and Land’s End, with chances to spot dolphins, seabirds and even the occasional whale. Or take to the skies with Skybus from Land’s End and arrive in just 20 minutes, soaring above the Cornish coast and Atlantic waters. You can even choose a Fly+Sail combination - fly out, ferry back, and make the journey just as memorable as the destination.

Operating from spring through late autumn, there’s a perfect time for everyone to make the trip. Special longer-stay sailings throughout the season give you up to 7 hours and 45 minutes to enjoy island life. Both Scillonian III and Skybus are dog friendly, making the Isles of Scilly a perfect escape for everyone. Whichever way you travel, the Isles of Scilly will leave you feeling a world away.

Getting the HOLIDAY RIGHT.

For Nina travel is something she has lived. Originally trained as a travel agent, she travelled through the Middle East and USA before returning to Cornwall.

Where will you go next? Family holidays  Cruises Luxury escapes  Adventure Disney  Lapland Honeymoons & more

When Carly spoke to her, what stood out was how personal the Travel Stylers service is. Nina knows holidays are hard-

earned, so getting them right matters. Many people feel unsure where to start or overwhelmed by choice. She shapes trips around the people going, rather than fitting them into packages. Nina can often match online prices while offering reassurance throughout. Travel should feel exciting, not stressful. With Nina’s help, it does.

Expert travel planning with access to 400+ trusted suppliers, all at no extra cost to you.

RECIPE

Carly’s Go To Banana Pancake Breakfast

My favourite breakfast has to be simple fluffy pancakes. Easy to make, really filling and perfect for slower mornings when you actually have time to enjoy breakfast properly. METHOD 1. Add the egg, milk and very ripe banana to a bowl and mix until smooth.

INGREDIENTS (Makes 8 Fluffy Pancakes) 1 Large Egg 90ml Milk 1 Very Rripe Banana 120g Self Raising Flour 1tsp Baking Powder 1 Scoop Protein Powder (optional) 1/2tsp Vanilla Extract SUGGESTED TOPPINGS 1 Sliced Banana Frozen Raspberries Honey

2. Add the self raising flour, baking powder, vanilla extract and protein powder if using, then mix until the batter is smooth.

3. Heat a frying pan and lightly grease with butter.

4. Add spoonfuls of batter to the pan, then go back round each pancake with another spoonful on top. This is my secret to getting them extra fluffy.

5. Once the pancakes start bubbling and look slightly dry on top, flip them and cook until golden.

6. Stack up and top with sliced banana, frozen raspberries and honey. Simple every time, but always good.

Done Properly,

MADE TO LAST

There is something quietly transformative about getting the light, privacy, and feel of a room just right.

For Steve at Queen Street Shutters , that balance sits at the centre of every home he works in. Originally working with shutters and blinds in London, Steve made the move to Cornwall around five years ago and set up Queen Street Shutters soon after, to offer a more personal, hands-on service. Every home is different, even when the product is the same, and that is what keeps the work interesting. Steve meets customers in their homes, bringing samples, measuring up, and taking the time to get it right. The shutters themselves offer more than just a visual change. They help keep homes cooler in the summer, warmer in the winter, and create a level of privacy and comfort that people often do not realise until they have them, making them a solid and practical investment. Steve manufactures the “perfect fit” shutters himself in central Cornwall. It gives him full control over the quality

and finish, producing a genuinely bespoke result for each home, not something off the shelf. In a time where so much feels rushed or mass-produced, this is a more considered approach. One focused on getting it right first time, and leaving something behind that genuinely improves how a home feels.

Paul’s - Making an Occasion Of It

FOOD & DRINK

Written By: Paul Mills Edited By A. Williams

One thing my wife Helen and I genuinely love doing is making a proper occasion out of somewhere special to eat. Not rushed, not squeezed in around work, but actually slowing down and enjoying the whole experience. One place we always come back to is Paul Ainsworth at No.6 in Padstow. We have been going there for around five years now and it never feels predictable because the menus change constantly depending on the seasonal local produce available. Last year we stayed in Padstow for three nights and worked our way through all three of their restaurants. What stood out most though was not just the food, but the atmosphere around it all. Relaxed music, incredible service and little details that stay with you afterwards.

It is one of those places that reminds you good food is never really just about food.

A Fresh Start WITHOUT STARTING AGAIN

High-end finish without ripping the whole kitchen out.

For Phil at Kitchen Makeovers, the move into the business came after years working in management. The first lockdown gave him the chance to step back and rethink his future. Originally trained as a tiler, he had always enjoyed seeing the transformation it made to people’s kitchens, how changing certain aspects of a space could completely alter the feel of a room. That is reflected in how the business runs today. Phil’s approach is still hands-on and personal. He visits customers in their homes with samples, talks through ideas, and helps shape a kitchen that works for how people actually use it. Phil shares practical advice learned from experience and an exceptionally good eye for what will look right. What stands out is the simplicity of the service. Many people assume a new kitchen means weeks of disruption, ripping everything out, living without the space, and spending far more than they had planned.

“

UK MADE AND BUILT TO LAST, GIVING YOU A HIGH- END FINISH ”

keeping the existing structure where it is still in good condition, and only updating doors, worktops, colours and finishes, the result can feel like a completely new kitchen, without the upheaval. It’s all UK made and built to last, giving you a high-end finish without ripping the whole kitchen out. Want to impress this year without turning the house upside down? A kitchen makeover might do more than you expect. Interviewed By: C.Mitchell Edited By A. Williams

A kitchen makeover can transform the look and feel of a space in a matter of days. By
