Thom Yorke is a talented singer who is the lead singer of rock band Radiohead.

The English musician used to own a property in an idyllic small village.


Thom once lived in the village of Crackington Haven, in Cornwall.

He owned a home in the area for many years and it is no surprise why.

The coastal village is in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty with a popular beach.

"Crackington Haven is an all-year-round destination," Visit Cornwall states.

"In the spring, the surrounding cliffs and hills are accentuated with vivid green grass, carpets of wild flowers and exotic birdsong.

"Summertime sees a bustling beach life, as sunlight bathes the warm Atlantic waters, providing the perfect conditions for swimming.

"In the autumn, take a long walk along the tops of the cliffs and admire the power of the sea as it crashes against the rocks below."

Those in the area can also take part in the Beeny Cliff & Pentargon Falls Path Walk.

This involves a scenic stroll overlooking the impressive Cornwall landscapes.

Britons have shared their opinions on Tripadvisor. One said: "The views were breathtaking walking on some of the most pristine landscapes of the area."

Another added: "Lovely walk from Boscastle, up and beyond the waterfall returning via the river Valency Valley. A hilly detour up to monster church is good walk on a nice day."

A third agreed and said it was a beautiful walk but could be hard work. They said: "Worth the effort but it is effort! There are a lot of stairs and it is steep, but the view has to be seen first-hand. Stunning natural scenery."

This Eurythmics star Dave Stewart owned a £4.5million home in a pretty part of the UK.

James legend Jim Glennie also owned a home in the UK. He lived in a "beautiful" and rural part of Britain.
