So, where does Poldark take place? Cornwall, through and through. Not just any Cornwall, but the wild Cornwall—the part where the Atlantic tries to eat the land. It’s a character in itself, more important than any sword fight or romantic glance.
Could you visit? Absolutely. Just don’t expect to find Ross waiting on the beach. He’s busy. Probably mining. Or scowling. Or dramatically riding a horse. But you will find the wind, the heather, and the stubborn beauty of it all. Bring a scarf. And maybe some pasties. You’ll need the carbs for all that emotional baggage.
