Every Sunday, one of Cornwall's biggest car boot sales takes over the main sports ground in the village of Rosudgeon. It's a vast affair, covering several fields, and there are normally a couple of food trucks catering to peckish punters. It tends to be bric-a-brac rather than antique, but then again, one man's tat is another man's treasure. Happy delving.
