Bude also features on the list with a destination score of 75%. The survey give Bude an average hotel price of £112 with five star for beaches. Falmouth and St Ives were given a destination score of 30%. “Prices for a UK stay have increased, but there’s no need to pay over the odds. Rory Boland, editor of Which? Travel, said: “The British seaside hasn’t boomed like this since the 1960s. Further down in the rankings, there were some familiar Cornwall names. This will be especially valuable given that uncertainty over foreign trips in the past few years has seen a booking boom in domestic breaks.

Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, will star on the cover of Vogue (Daily Mail)

Camilla, who turns 75 on July 17, is expected to feature on the front cover of the fashion bible, which has also conducted an interview with her.

It's one of the things I suspect her husband admires most in her. One of her greatest strengths is she's happy in her own skin. It's hard to be in the public eye and not feel that you have to be some kind of clothes horse. The stakes have also risen. The Queen made her first appearance in its pages in 1927 as a one-year-old on her mother's knee. She has a good eye for colour, too. Camilla was adamant then that she did not want clothes provided for her, and brought in her own. She hasn't bowed to that pressure and tried to change herself. Camilla's photoshoot took place last week with a skeleton crew of magazine staff and palace aides, all sworn to secrecy. Nor has she needed her clothes to attract men. (She is pictured in a Vivienne Westwood gown at the London Palladium in 2013) The timing has been carefully thought through and her 75th birthday felt like the appropriate time.'

"I think he opened it up and there was no food in my truck. Then I got closer to it and it grunted, I scared it and went back inside," he continued. "It was really, really scared when we got close to it. "It looked like a teenage kid that just passed out in his car after a long night of partying and his mom caught him." They never get in cars so I really didn't think it was a bear right away. A conservation officer helped get it out by deploying a bean bag round to haze the bear away.

I tied a rope to the car handle and ran the rope up the hill and started yanking on the rope,” Gillotti said. “I went down and saw fog all over the window and sure enough there was a bear in there,” Gillotti said.
