The West Country / Cornwall region
Cornwall's scenery changes every couple of miles, from upland heath to wooded river valley, hidden coves to rugged cliffs. Miles of unspoilt beaches with the rugged contours of weathered rocks for company.
One of the many wonders of Cornwall is its timeless quality due to its isolation and geography. The past is still present in the ancient stone circles and the mysticism of' it's landscape. North Cornwall of course has Tintagel castle wrapped in the legend and tales of King Arthur. There are indeed new additions including the Eden project at St Austell to blend with the history.
The many towns and villages have their own unique flavour and distinct characters from the fishing village of, St Ives and Padstow to the tightly packed streets and houses of Lostwithiel.
The Cornish have preserved many of their rituals and traditions while others have let them fall by the wayside. Annual events bring people together onto the streets. Some of the events we class as sports - see the Hurling, and the gig racing in falmouth- others are feasts linked to the saints day of various towns like St Day and St Just.
Cornwall creates a mesmerising taste that is intoxicating and most will return to re-experience.
