The op mentioned the lack of diversity and the attraction of the middle aged I'm suggesting this is an example of that.

Your first thought is Racism, if they aren’t going there how would they know the locals were racist :bored:

Idgi why LD is not attracting them

I know a Muslim family who holiday in the Lake District for a week every year. They must love being made to feel unwelcome. :rolleyes:
Its utter nonsense.

Cornwall attracts the surfing crowd plus it has some very clubby towns like Newquay

The lake district, very close to me actually, is a beautiful scenic place and in fact places they have tried to make more tourist friendly such as windermere have lost a lot of the beautiful magic

There isnt much to do if your not in to walking, having picnics and admiring the gorgeous views so if that isnt your thing maybe try blackpool, liverpool or manchester

As for me I have loved visiting it since being a baby and I dont want it spoilt by chavvy tourism

You can't prove a negative. The default position is that there isn't rife racism, so unless there's evidence for some existing, we can safely assume there isn't any :)

Should have specified I meant southern Cornwall, falmouth and the Lizzard. Also Penzance and newlyn. No surfing culture there, just walkers.

Well yes they do thats kind of my point, I'm surprised you find it so funny. Buying a second property may be a middle aged pastime? Maybe not pastime but they are more likely to have the means certainly.
