Will look out for it. Cornwall does look great...it's not just the film. Some St. Ives artists reckon the light is unusual because it is a penninsula & the sea bounces the light around -- but regardless of light, it has a rugged beauty. The water is often clear, probably some of the clearest in UK waters - a striking blue-green.
Most British countryside (what's left of it) looks amazing on a sunny day...it just isn't that sunny here

Yes "Saving Grace" was good, set in Port Isaac. A great
little village & a popular spot for TV & films. It's changed quite a lot in recent years though, the pub - the Golden Lion - closed
& its full of expensive bistros now- don't suppose many fisherman can afford to live there anymore. (Perhaps it's becoming a miniature Carmel?). My best friend is going down there next week with his Dory - his family come from there.
