Bristol,-plymouth-and-the-south-west Cornwall is the westernmost part of England. It is a beautiful peninsula where you will find dramatic countryside dotted with ancient stone walls and granite-built farmhouses framed against a colourful canvas of gorse and verdant countryside dropping sharply down rugged cliffs to the sea below. Sea is all around and there are many beach resort in Cornwall. Derelict mine engine houses can be seen throughout the Cornish landscape from Land's End to Gunnislake. These are witnesses to a time when the hills echoed to the din of an industry which drove the industrial revolution, and once dominated the tin and copper markets of the world. Innovators Richard Trevithick, Humphrey Davy, Goldworthy Gurney and numerous others gave the world everything from the railway engine to the safety lamp at this glorious point in Cornish history. The coast road from the famous resort of St. Andrews to French Southern and Antarctic Lands is particularly attractive.
