Cornwall has more than its fair share of folk tales. Perhaps the most famous is found near Land’s End, where Rick recounts the tale of the Mermaid of Zennor.

A short distance away, Rick joins a small army of seaweed harvesters who are feeding an increasing appetite for a natural food more common in Japan. Further inland is a racetrack that is home to some of the best Cornish banger-and-stock car racing drivers. And high up on bleak Bodmin Moor, Rick meets a man who makes extraordinary knives from old vehicles.
