First Class Guide to Britain

Join Britain's post men and women as they take you on an exclusive video tour around Britain's best kept secrets.

First Class Guide to Cornwall

Let postman Tracy Smith show you around some of Cornwall's hidden gems.

Tracy was born in Boscastle and been a postman in Cornwall for 11 years. He started his career with Royal Mail in Tintagel which holds one of the oldest post offices in the country. In 1872 it was closed as a functioning post office and turned into a museum. Tintagel is famous for being the home of King Arthur and the joke amongst locals is he still lives in town and buys his stamps from that very post office.

Tracy loves his hometown, not just for its World Heritage Sites and Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty (not to mention some of the best weather in Britain), but also because it’s one of the most environmentally sound areas in the country. He lives by the motto ‘you need to be seen to be green’, and on your visit to Cornwall you’ll see it really lives up to this motto.
