The Unexpected Celebrity Haven on the Cornish Coast

Driving along the winding coastal roads, with cliffs overlooking golden sands, I began to consider the famous faces I might encounter. Jason Statham, Chris Martin, and Cate Blanchett are among the celebrities who own property in the Cornish village of Mawgan Porth. One might expect a place filled with glamour given such a guest list, but that's not the case.

Upon arriving, we parked in the only public car park, situated directly on the beachfront. Payment was collected by an elderly couple, a refreshing change from parking meters. The main road, which runs parallel to the beach, is essentially the village's single street, lined with approximately eight shops.

what is it about this small village that attracts so many high-profile celebrities? Local conversations revealed the presence of famous residents. A café worker mentioned serving Olly Murs, Cate Blanchett, and Gordon Ramsay. One local noted the increasing affluence, with more luxury cars. I shared the same curiosity. Chris Martin, Jamie Dornan, and Gary Barlow are also rumored to have homes here, tucked away in the cliffs.

what do they do all day?
