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

We go to Cornwall often and there are young (and diverse) walkers doing trails and the SW Coast Path.

Idgi why LD is not attracting them

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

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

You lol all you like.
The fact remains it is the LD that has the problem not Cornwall.
As a seafaring province Cornwall has always had contact with all nationalities and races.

Cornwall also has a lot more clement weather. The Lake District is beautiful....but also very bleak. More people are attracted to warmer climes I guess.

We visited the Lakes before the kids were born, never felt the need to take them there, if families go on a day out or for a holiday in the UK they tend to head to the coast as there is a mixture of activities

One person had said there is an issue, that doesn’t make it true
