A former weekly newspaper editor has written a travel guide about his old patch.

Cornwall Favourites For One And All!: A quick guide to good places to visit across the county has been written as an ebook by Andrew Townsend.

Andrew, pictured, edited the Cornish Times from 2012 to 2020.

The guide highlights the tourist hotspots but also locations “a little off the beaten track”.

Andrew, 58, said: “With thousands of extra visitors expected in Cornwall this summer because of the Covid-19 foreign travel restrictions, I thought I would highlight some of the lesser known locations in the county that are still well worth a visit.”

He added: “The ebook helps to introduce Cornwall’s glorious beaches, wild moors, soaring cliffs and scenic rivers, as well as historic towns, pretty villages, mining relics and theme park rides.

“Having previously worked in Cornwall as a journalist for many years, I know the county well, but I have still discovered new locations to visit while researching for Cornwall Favourites For One And All!.

“And I must say the research for the ebook was a lot of fun. I hope this comes across in the text.”

The book, priced at £2.99, is available here.
