Kernow a’gas dynergh - Welcome to Cornwall



 

The true status of Cornwall
Arguments have raged for years as to whether Cornwall is a mere county of England, or continues to stand apart from its greatly larger neighbour.

What does being Cornish mean to you?
To any person who is Cornish, it is something that is celebrated all over the world. But when the question: “What does it mean to be Cornish ?” is posed, what does the reply entail ?

Crossing the Tamar – 1497 Cornish uprising.
Unrest grew first in the far West where Michael Joseph an Gof [The Smith] rallied support on the grounds of Cornwall’s inability to pay. At St Keverne he gathered a body of determined men and set out for Bodmin.  On arrival, lawer Thomas Flamank explained the unlawful nature of the tax. No doubt, grounds for complaint would also have included the double Cornish tribute based on Cornish racial difference. With their cause made just, the lesser gentry [landowners with a common element of Cornishness] joined the protesters.


Recognition of a Cornish genius

Lower Treave Enviroment friendly Camping and Caravan site, Lands End
Lower Treave
Lower Treave - a family camping and touring caravan site at the heart of the Lands End Peninsula amidst some of the most spectacular scenery in the Duchy.


James Wharram
In the mid 50's, based on his research into ancient Polynesian boat design, James Wharram built the first off-shore Catamaran in Britain and sailed it out from Falmouth into the Atlantic. While the world's yachting community were busy dismissing such a design as a worthy sea-going vessel, James was landing his 23'6" 'Double Hulled Canoe' in the West Indies.

Cornish Hedges
Cornish Hedging is an essential and ubiquitous part of the Cornish countryside. Forming property boundaries, field enclosures and roadside demarcation – sometimes bare, stark stonework, sometimes so thoroughly shrouded in turf and overgrowth that it’s hard to imagine a stone structure within – hedges define the landscape. walkitcornwall provides guided day walks and themed walking weeks based upon two walks per day totalling 8 miles. Day walks are on the Lizard and Helford River three days a week throughout the year. Our 'free range' cattle graze the cliffs of our farm just 1.5 miles from St. Ives. They only feed on grass and home grown root crops Fishing off Cornwall's coast is a totally different experience. The semi-tropical climate and its remote location, deep in atlantic waters, attracts a amazing array of species and size. Our Skippers are experts in sustainable line caught fish.
