Cornwall attracts millions of visitors each year with its beaches, coastline and attractive coastal towns. Yet many young people who grow up there experience a very different reality. Long journeys to work-experience placements and university open days can make it harder to access opportunities. Some students say those pressures force them to weigh whether staying is realistic or whether they should leave. Headline figures about poor outcomes in the North also fail to capture the whole picture, according to the report.
