Cornwall 2006

Of South and West.

Cornwall is in the southwest corner of Britain, and has both the southernmost and westernmost points of the British mainland. It is famous for several things;

Rugged coastline, which makes up around 80% of the Cornish borders.
Tin mines, which were once the main industry of Cornwall, but are now mainly a historic remnant.
Cornish pasties, cream teas, ice cream, and clotted cream. Say no more.
The Cornish language, related to Welsh, but with far less speakers (that in itself is an impressive achievement).
The desire for Cornwall to become its own country again, like Wales did.
Land's End; as well as being the westernmost point of England, it is also one end of Land's End to John O'Groats - the two points furthest apart on the British mainland, by road or air.
Bodmin moor; though overshadowed by the neighbouring Dartmoor and Exmoor, it is well known outside Cornwall.
St. Ives, known mainly because of its appearence in a riddle.
Penzance, known because of its appearence in an operette by Gilbert and Sullivan.
Probably loads of other stuff I forgot.
