Cornwall A Land Which Haunts Your Very Soul

Cornwall
a rugged peninsula 
a fiercely independent people
its language 
its myths and legends 
its industries and religions
...Cornwall
a land of its people

Cornwall 
a misty land of gales and wind-farms 
twisted hedgerows and contorted trees
weekend sailors and professional surfers
...Cornwall
a land of sea and sky

Cornwall
an ancient land
of grey slate hung farmhouses 
monuments and stone built churches
structures built to last
...Cornwall
a land of resilience 

Cornwall
a land to fire up your creativity 
poets and artists
betjeman and langley
trebetherick and the newlyn school
...Cornwall
a land of inspiration 

and a land of verdant beauty
moorland peaks and sandy beaches
open vistas and heather verges
fishing ports and river inlets 
of craggy cliffs rising from the sea

...Cornwall
a land which haunts your very soul
