Families living in St Minver said their community has turned into a ghost town (Image: Getty) Locals in the UK’s second home capital claim that they are being forced to live in caravans and sheds as overpriced houses are instantly snapped up by wealthy Londoners, it has been reported. Families living in the Cornish village of St Minver said their community has turned into a ghost town, driven partly by the surge in wealthy visitors staycationing during Covid . The village is a few miles inland from the Camel Estuary and Polzeath, where celebs including Gordon Ramsay, Rick Stein and David Cameron own holiday homes.
Surveys conducted in 2021 revealed that nearly three-quarters of the houses in the village and the surrounding seaside town were second homes, but locals believe the current rate is much higher. function loadOvpScript(){let el=document.createElement('script');el.
