Cornwall, land of myth and legend, is steeped in history, rich in culture, has provided inspiration to artists, poets and writers for centuries, and even has its own language. With its mild climate and varied landscape, for many years it has been one of the favourite tourist destinations in England, attracting both domestic and international visitors.
Given its position at the very end of the English mainland, Cornwall has a very high proportion of coastline relative to land mass, and provides both the most southerly point of Great Britain (the Lizard), and the mainland’s most westerly point (Land’s End). Because of its southerly location and the influence of the Gulf Stream, Cornwall enjoys the mildest and sunniest climate in the UK, and almost a third of the county has AONB status (Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty)
