A Bit About Barry

Barry was born and has lived in Cornwall all his life and is very passionate about sharing what it has to offer. He started his career working at Delabole slate quarry and left to go travelling. After returning to his native land he has been busy–working on film locations, fishing boats, getting married–and now has four daughters! His local knowledge of all things Cornish provides a unique experience for guests visiting the area.
