A village in Cornwall which is a favourite of "surfers" and "heritage lovers" has been named among Britain's best locations to work from home.

St Agnes was included alongside 19 other locations in a list from the Daily Mail, which analysed various criteria.

Factors that were analysed included house prices, connectivity, access to the countryside and proximity to a town or city.

Discussing the creation of the list, the publication wrote: "The days when people moving from the city bought up isolated small holdings to live the ‘good life’ disappeared with Covid. Today’s relocators have different criteria.

"They are quite likely to be working from home, and a gastro pub, attractive scenery, friendly community, fast wi-fi and reasonable proximity to a town or city are on their wish lists."

The full list of the 20 best work from home locations in Britain can be found on the Daily Mail website here.

What was said about St Agnes?

St Agnes was praised as being right in the middle of "Poldark country" and for offering decent options for those interested in surfing and history.

They wrote: "This is the centre of Poldark country, which isn’t surprising as its author Winston Graham lived nearby.

"The wider area takes in the Blue Flag beach of Porthtowan, a favourite with surfers, while heritage lovers have The National Trust owned Wheal Coates mine.

"There is easy access to the county’s beautiful coast path and the compact little village itself has lots of independent shops and businesses."

For those looking to move into the area, the average house price is £562,000, whilst ultrafast connectivity is available.

Meanwhile, for travel connections, it says: "Situated on the north coast of Cornwall, it is 9 miles from Truro from where trains to London Paddington take 5hrs 15 minutes."

In terms of recommendations for food and drink, the publication shared: "The Taphouse offers imaginative dishes such as fish tacos."

Overall, St Agnes is a well-regarded spot with its tourist page calling it a "stunning and unspoilt spot on the north Cornish coast".

They added: "Our compact little village has a thriving and creative local community which supports lots of independent shops and businesses.

"Add beautiful, dog-friendly beaches, world-class pubs and restaurants, and access to some of the county’s most stunning coast path and walks, it’s not hard to see why we’re so proud of where we live."

The fact it is both a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and a World Heritage Site doesn't hurt either.
