Cornwall, the delightful and picturesque county found in the South West of England is a popular tourist destination. With a population of over half a million, Cornwall is bordered to the north and west by the Celtic Sea, to the south by the English Channel and to the east by the county of Devon. Historically, tin mining was important to the Cornish economy, along with fishing and agriculture. These days however, tourism is the main industry in Cornwall – the area is noted for its wild moorland landscapes, picturesque coastline and mild climate. Cornwall is roughly split into three areas – South East Cornwall, West Cornwall and North Cornwall.
