Broadcaster Petroc Trelawny has presented the Proms on radio and television and is the host of Breakfast on BBC Radio 3.

In Trelawny’s Cornwall he returns to the land of his childhood on the Lizard Peninsula to explore his Cornish heritage and to answer the question ‘do I still belong here?

Part history, part memoir, this is a deeply felt exploration of Cornwall - past, present, and future - and tells the vivid stories of a loving family full of mysteries. Petroc visits old mines and ancient churches and ponders the collapse of Methodism, the decline of the Cornish language and the complex, sometimes lucrative, sometimes destructive, relationship with tourism.

‘I can’t think of a more enjoyable or more illuminating guide to Cornwall than Petroc Trelawny, who knows it intimately, loves it deeply, and shares it generously.’ The Reverend Richard Coles

‘I thoroughly enjoyed Petroc's gentle humour and acute observations. Plus there is so much wonderful information about Cornish life and history here’. Rick Stein
