Worry Over Missing Surrey Woman Last Spotted Near Cornwall Cliffs

Police are urgently searching for 51-year-old Sheherazade Van Der Zijden, who vanished after a mysterious journey from Surrey to Cornwall.

Trail From London to Cornwall

Sheherazade was last seen at her Surrey home on Thursday, 15th January 2026. The next day, she took a train from London to Cornwall.

On 16th January, she boarded a First Cornwall Bus at Hayle Viaduct at 12:37pm. The bus reached North Cliffs near Hayle by 1:05pm.

Personal Items Found, But No Sign of Her

Tragically, her belongings were discovered near the cliff edge, but Sheherazade herself has not been seen since.
