Julia Hughes
Visit Cornwall - Visit the website
Julia is Cornish born and bred and, except for a university stint in Oxford, hasn’t strayed far from her beloved home county. She looks after Visit Cornwall’s media so has the enviable task of setting journalists up on fantastic trips around Cornwall or coming up with feature ideas. Away from the laptop, Julia can be found chasing her young daughter and cockapoo puppy around Cornwall, road testing the county's family and dog-friendly credentials.
