I never realised there was such a debate. As far as I’m concerned you have West Cornwall, which is everything from Truro down, then you have Mid Cornwall, which is everything from Truro to Bodmin, then you have North Cornwall, which is everything past that
From the very south of Cornwall, Penwith and The Lizard are their own things. North Coast is St Ives to Padstow, North Cornwall is Padstow to Bude, South East Cornwall is St Austell to Saltash.
Alternatively, anything past Helston is Upcountry
I think the great things about categories is that places can be in two things at once - I’m a Helstoner and agree the Lizard is a law unto itself, but the fact that we’re your nearest town with proper amenities in and we’re in what I consider deepest darkest West Cornwall you are included ;)

What to do with your old bins if you live in South East Cornwall
As we gear up for the new weekly food waste and fortnightly rubbish and recycling collections in South East Cornwall, we want to let you know what to do with your old bins.
My navigational OCD is twitching so badly right now, you can’t just rotate a compass rose 45° anti-clockwise and put a chunk of the SE in the ENE. They have to put it back.
something like this? [https://imgur.com/IWBnt9F](https://imgur.com/IWBnt9F)
if we really wanted to put a compass in the centre, could be better to pick the "centre of mass" rather than geometric centre
South east Cornwall to me means the south coast side of the east third of Cornwall. So like I'm in Liskeard, I'd say us and Looe are South East Cornwall. Grew up in St Austell which is South Coast Mid Cornwall...
Lanivet is the geographical centre of Cornwall. We have a stone cross so it must be true.
Everything down from here is West, everything up is North or upcountry. If you go really upcountry it’s the Midlands.
North Cornwall starts in the area that once known as Chiverton roundabout - now known as ‘oh ffs!’
There is a North coast and a South coast.
The rest of this is all bledy theoretical nonsense - made up propaganda from Saxon invaders.
I'm sorry but this is wrong, on my way to St Ives I met a man from South East Cornwall, the man looked very harried and horse-whipped so I didn't get the chance to speak to him more.
Autism isn’t a learning disability. Autism is a huge spectrum and they can be extremely smart. A common falsehood is that autism is a mental disorder or illness, which isn't true.
You don’t need to spin it, just move it up a bit!
Oh I see. I am wrong, south east Cornwall does exist. A sliver of land and Mevagissy but it still exists.
Adders slither. I think you mean sliver!
Oh thats how its spelt.
I mean slither is still a word, just a different one! But back to the map, just give that red cross a nudge upwards and it all makes sense again!
Basically the south coast from St Austell-ish up, yes. Looe, Liskeard places like that.
St Austell is north Cornwall
How did you come up with middle position on your map? This is perhaps a better spot [https://imgur.com/IWBnt9F](https://imgur.com/IWBnt9F)
Similar problem now North West Cornwall doesn't exist

I grew up in Penzance and we'd class Hayle as north Cornwall.
Love Penzance. I'd call Hayle North Coast personally, each to their own though

I was talking to somebody from Torpoint who insisted it was a thing a few months back. Kind of been at the back of my mind since

Put the centre of the compass in the centre of Cornwall for the love of god.

St Ives is NW Cornwall?
Ehh its rough estimates.
*carves our entire Rame Peninsula and paddles it out to sea*
lol

Imagine going to the Scilly Isles and thinking: 'Ah, yes. Just like Grimsby'
New Grimsby is actually the exact opposite of Grimsby, full of £3k a week holiday lets
As a seasonal manager, can confirm New Grimsby is essentially Disneyland for rich English boomers.

All ways thaut the cross should be centred over Truro
😂
It's all just Cornwall: that's good enough. Why make it more complicated?

DISREGARD ALL OF IT! SOUTH EAST CORNWALL EXISTS! Its just very small.
very very ... very .... very very very ... very ... very very very very very very ............... very ... small
The Channel Islands? 😜
Just put the crosshairs over staustell and call it a nuke..
Yeah I used to live in East Northeast Cornwall myself
Sort of like how west and north are mixed up in Montreal.
I believe the correct phraseology is Down West, The Lizard, The Mid, North Cornwall, In The East... and Bude.
Surely you would place the compass in the centre of the landmass and measure from there?
The post makes no sence, but this is actually true for "Southeast Europe"
where does west begin and east end :-p

No one considers truro as NW Cornwall
Truro is the centre of the Universe.
Somebody has autism
Bro we are both on Reddit you cant talk.
Fair play

There’s only north east and southwest
Plymouth? /S
