ABOUT US

Coffee shop chains, monster supermarkets, retail giants…they’re ten a penny these days, and you’ll find them in any place you visit. That’s all very well, but here at Little Birdie, we’re interested in what else our county has to offer.

We know it’s full of quality independent businesses, and it’s these that give our high streets, backstreets and in-the-middle-of-nowhere streets their individuality and character, their heart and soul. Little Birdie was born out of the desire to find, promote and support these wonderful places, and to help others do the same.

We are the A to Z of the best independent businesses in town, all packaged in beautifully illustrated, free, pocket-sized maps and online guides. By visiting the places featured on our maps and guides you are not only guaranteed a great time but the Cornish economy gets a boost too!

We’re here for maintaining a sustainable long term future of Cornish tourism which benefits all. We appreciate the businesses that spice our lives:

The restaurants that choose freshly picked ingredients from friendly local growers.

The quirky bookshops that recommend authors they know you’ll like.

The cosy cafés that know just how you like your coffee.

The trusty local that serves beer with a cheeky smile.

Beautiful shops, filled with unique gifts and handmade treasures.

The entrepreneurs and artisans, the butchers, the bakers, the craft brewers, the makers.

The places that allow us to come together.
