Cornwall

About

Cornwall is a coastal district in South West England, known for its rugged coastline and historic mining heritage. The area features long stretches of sandy beaches, cliffs, and fishing villages. Landmarks like St Michael’s Mount and the Eden Project draw visitors, while the region’s Celtic roots influence its culture and traditions.

The district has a strong maritime history, with fishing and shipbuilding playing key roles in its past. Today, tourism is a major industry, alongside agriculture and renewable energy projects. The climate is milder than much of the UK, with coastal paths offering scenic walks. Cornwall also has its own distinct identity, including the Cornish language, which is recognised as a minority language in the UK.
