Lexmatica – Cornwall
On a Cornish Beach - by Nigel A JAMES
Cornwall
is England's most southerly county. It is famous for
very many things. Amongst them are tin mines, Dartmoor
ponies, smugglers, and novels by Daphne du Maurier.
Of
course, Cornwall has other things, too. It has very beautiful
countryside, an unbelievable coastline, many very big
houses, and lots of beautiful villages.
But,
Cornwall's greatest advantage is its weather. Its climate is
mild and it has much less rain than the rest of Great Britain.
So,
in other words, Cornwall with its long sandy beaches and its
fantastic scenery is the perfect place for a magical family
holiday!
