Cornwall hotels - About Cornwall
Cornwall (pronounced /ˈkɔrnwɔːl/, Cornish: Kernow [ˈkɛrnɔʊ]) is a county of England, United Kingdom, located at the tip of the south-western peninsula of Great Britain. It is bordered to the north by the Atlantic Ocean, to the south by the English Channel, and to the east by the county of Devon, over the River Tamar. Cornwall has a population of 526,300, covering an area of 1,376 mi² (3,563 km²). The administrative centre and only city is Truro.
The area now known as Cornwall was first inhabited by Neolithic and then Bronze Age peoples, and later (in the Iron Age) by Celts. The Kingdom of Cornwall was an independent entity, often coming into conflict with the expanding kingdom of Wessex before King Athelstan set the boundary between English and Cornish people at the Tamar. It is unclear when Cornwall was absorbed into England, although the Cornish language continued to be spoken until the 18th century. A revival of Cornish was begun in the early 20th century and has progressed further over recent decades. Today, Cornwall's economy struggles after the decline of the mining and fishing industries, and has become more dependent on tourism. The area is noted for its wild moorland landscapes, its extensive and varied coastline and its mild climate.
Cornwall is the homeland of the Cornish people and diaspora, and is considered one of the six "Celtic nations" by many residents and scholars. The county continues to retain its distinct identity, with its own history, language and culture. Some inhabitants question the present constitutional status of Cornwall, and a self-government movement seeks greater autonomy for the county.
