to
Cornwall
Cornwall is surrounded on three
sides by water and most of the border between it and
Devon is the River Tamar. This is probably the reason
that very few people inhabited it, even the Romans never
conquered that far, until quite late.
Cornwall is steeped in legend;
stories of giants, dragons, mermaids and piskies (fairy
folk) are commonplace.
