‘From above, the sea looks quite grey but under the water it’s another story,’ says Tara Leaver, remembering the first time she went wild swimming at Battery Rocks in Penzance with the Battery Belles and Buoys. Dipping her head beneath the waves was a revelation, a hidden world of swaying seaweeds, darting fish, scuttling crabs, creeping starfish and beautiful shells. Soon, she was using a waterproof camera to capture these ‘underwater gardens’, images that have fuelled a whole new body of work that is still evolving. For many years Tara was a city girl, living, studying art and working in London, then moving to Hove in 2008 after a period of depression. Here, she took up painting again and began an intensive period of study and creative exploration. She started…

COFFEE CARAVAN CAFÉ Overlooking the houseboats in Woodbridge, the Caravan café is a fun little place, raised up on blocks to protect it from high tides. I loved being nestled up against the window, filling up on a big breakfast and coffee, watching the world go by as the boats started to sit in the mud with the ebb tide. (@caravancafewoodbridge) CULTURE THE LONGSHED The Longshed on Woodbridge riverside is home to the building of a full-size reconstruction of the 90ft-long Sutton Hoo Anglo-Saxon burial ship. Visit the project to appreciate the immensity of scale and fascinating construction techniques used over 1,000 years ago on this historical ship!

My mum’s Cornish, her family has been here for generations and we used to come here on holiday every year from our home in Sussex. When I grew up, I moved to Australia for 25 years, living on North Stradbroke Island off the coast of Queensland, which ironically, looks very like Cornwall. In 2011 I returned home to help look after Mum and Dad, who had by then retired here. Initially I worked in the café at Tremenheere Sculpture Garden, and two years later, in 2014, I was appointed garden manager. I look after ticket sales, group visits, creative workshops and weddings. The south-facing garden is in a 22-acre valley surrounded by ancient woodland and with views to St Michael’s Mount. I like the way that it has been kept…

With the recent rush to buy a forever home by the sea, Cornwall has seen a meteoric rise in property values over the last two years (nearly 25% in some areas). According to Rightmove, Cornwall replaced London as the nation’s most searched-for destination. The market, it says, has been ‘hectic and competitive’ with hotspots like Rock, St Mawes, Padstow and St Ives regularly clocking up millionaire prices. But if you’re a buyer on a budget looking to relocate, don’t give up on your Cornish dream. Pockets of the coast offer lower prices, and you’ll get more house for your money than you would in many UK cities. 1 HARBOUR COMMUNITY MEVAGISSEY, ST AUSTELL BAY Cornwall’s classic fishing villages (Fowey, St Ives, Padstow) tend to attract the highest prices, but Mevagissey…

We grew up in Portsmouth and all of our family is still there. We live in London now but we enjoy going back. Portsmouth is both a classic seaside resort with a busy seafront, arcades and a pier at Southsea, and a historic port city with the Mary Rose, HMS Warrior and HMS Victory on display at the Historic Dockyard. So, depending on your mood, you can be full-on fish and chips at the South Parade Pier or more pensive walking around old Portsmouth. Southsea is our beach and, whenever we go home, we squeeze in a walk there with Mum. It’s a stony beach and not easy to walk along, but we always try to get down to the water. If not, there’s a nice promenade where you can…
