History
| One of the wonders of Cornwall is that, due to its timelessness, its isolation and its geography, much of its past is still apparent. Iron and Bronze age settlements can still be explored and wondered at, and the standing stones of the pagans and druids are to be found in every second field when you get down into West Cornwall. Cornwall's past as a separate identity from England, a nation trading its tin with the Bretons and Phoenicians before the Angles and Saxons arrived, is an issue still debated today. Cornwall's history is one of looking south and west, rather than east. Dealings with London have been frosty often, and bloody on a number of occasions. Now Cornwall's history is one of its key attractions. From the romanticism surrounding Tintagel and the tales of King Arthur, to the recent history of the Newlyn school of art, Cornwall is trading on its fascinating and often glorious past. Meanwhile, building for the future goes on. | ||||||||||||||||||
