Tremarnock

Travel Guide

Tremarnock is a purely fictional village, inspired by Emma’s trips around Cornwall. She began her life as a cub reporter on the Western Morning News based in Plymouth and covering Devon and Cornwall, so got to know the area well in her early twenties. Tremarnock is the village formed from a mixture of all of the places which have stayed in her memory since then.

For the full Booktrail Experience, Emma says that the trail could include many places such as even those in Devon such as Plymouth, the Barbican, the Barbican mural by artist Robert Lenkiewicz, which is adjacent to his studio on the Barbican, Royal William Yard, The Torpoint Ferry from Devonport to Torpoint, Cornwall, Mount Edgcumbe house and country park, the Rame Head Chapel walk, South West Coast Path, Tintagel, Fowey, Looe, Liskeard, the villages of Kingsand, Cawsand, Millbrook, Seaton and Portwrinkle, Whitsand Bay, Maker Heights.

Emma tells us that she adores Cornwall, especially the south eastern part which is sometimes described as the County’s ‘forgotten corner’ and she goes back there often. “The scenery is breathtaking in all weathers, the pubs are glorious and the pace of life is so much calmer. I come back refreshed every time with my batteries fully recharged.”
