Cornwall is a fishtail-shaped peninsula on the south west corner of Britain, bordered on three sides by the sea. Its landscape is appealingly Old English, consisting of little round green hills (with every tree-lined field boundary containing a hidden twisty road), rugged cliffs (with path tracks along the tops for walkers to enjoy), moorland areas (with scattered granite rocks, cairns, the occasional satellite tracking station or wind farm) and a picturesque rocky coastline with clean sandy beaches (maintained by higher-priced local water rates). It also has a number of historical estates that are preserved by the National Trust and are open to the public for a reasonable fee. Think of any British period drama, and chances are at least one of the scenes was shot in Cornwall.
