Doors 364 – Doors of Cornwall – October 2025
Today’s doors are the remaining doors photographed during my annual sea fishing trip with my great friend Andy last October. They were taken from a few different places, but reflect the style and nature of typically Cornish doors – so different from Shrewsbury doors, for example. Enjoy:
That’s it from Cornwall for a while (I might get some more doors this Ocober). I’ll be digging out something a little different from my door folders next time. In the meantime may I wish you a great weekend and some rain if you live in England/France/Spain.
If you have made it this far, you probably like doors, and you really ought to take a look at the No Facilities blog by Dan Anton who has taken over the hosting of Thursday Doors from Norm 2.0 blog. Links to more doorscursions can be found in the comments section of Dan Anton’s weekly Thursday Doors post and his Sunday recap.

I love the wide Cornish door. I have always how brick arches stay up magical. 😁

Each of these doors tells a story not just architecture but character etched into wood and paint. That wide, squat Cornish cottage door especially captures something, built low because the builders understood wind and weather, practicality married to personality. And the fact that these are captured during your annual tradition with Andy adds another layer, these aren’t just photographs of doors, they’re snapshots of friendship. Cornwall keeps giving you reasons to return. 🚪

Thank you a really observant analysis. I happen to be in Cornwall right now for a 5th wedding anniversary of my uncle and aunt. No doors on this trip alas.

An interesting and somewhat eclectic collection. I love the little blue door to the cottage, and who can pass up an ice cream shop? I really like the tunnel entrance, and the tunnel.

The classic blue door, wide and short, is so pleasing. But the “rickety” porticos are so “wtf?” You had one door showing “this still has its columns” but I’ve never seen where the column is replaced by some wire-trellisy thing and the formal cap remains. Wild. 🙂

Yes, both of those sets of columns are in need of a little TLC.

That large archway gate has a lot of eclectic personality and lots of bits and bobs used to keep it in good repair. I applaud their efforts. I like it a lot. I am smitten by the little ice cream shop; the perfect style and the right color pink appointments surround the door. Great gallery, Stephen. You captured the scenic history of Cornwall’s well-cared-for and beautifully restored places.
P.S. I may be reaching a bit (into my imagination), but the four-panel iron door building looks in my mind as though it might have been a public house long ago.

I like the blue door a lot. I really don’t know what that building with the panelled door might have been. There is a pottery through the archway to the left. Maybe the part of the building with the door was a showroom?
