About Whasson Cornwall

Practical, independent guides to visiting Cornwall, from Leo and friends who know it well.

Leo started Whasson Cornwall after years of friends asking the same questions: Which beach should we go to? Where do we park? Is that walk too much for the kids? The answers were scattered across booking sites and out-of-date forums, so we put them in one place.

Why “Whasson”?

“Whasson?” (or “wass on?”) is how people in Cornwall say what’s going on?. It’s what you’d ask a mate on the harbour wall, and it’s what this site answers: what’s on, where to go, and how to make the most of your days here.

How we write our guides

• Real experience. Between Leo and a group of friends, we've been to the places in our guides. What we write comes from our own days out, and we check the details against official sources.
• We keep it current. Prices and opening times change, so we link to official sources and update the guides regularly.
• We're independent. No business pays to appear in a guide. The site is funded by advertising, which you'll see clearly labelled "Advertisement".
