WHAT MAKES CORNWALL DIFFERENT?

What makes Cornwall different - or as some of us might say, special? The answer lies in its geography and geology. These in combination influenced its history, including the story of the Cornish language, once dominant but now only spoken by a few proud preservers. Until Tudor times Cornwall was in effect a separate country west of the Tamar, called Kernow.

From strange rock formations, Bronze Age stone monuments, fishing coves, mine engine houses, sub-tropical gardens and its place in art history, Cornwall has features to interest everyone - and many of them arise from its 'difference'.
