| Some Towns and Villages in Cornwall |
| Cornwall is a county in England at the tip of the south-west peninsula. The county retains its distinct identity with its own history, language and culture, and many Cornish people would like further independence from the UK. The Isles of Scilly are part of the county. Major settlements include Truro, Launceston, Penzance, Falmouth, Bodmin, Newquay, St Austell and Camborne. This page contains postcards of towns and villages in the county for which we have as yet insufficient images to justify a separate page. Follow the link for postcards of Land's End. |
