Funny that. Cornwall's always felt far more 'English' to me than, say, Cumbria or Yorkshire. Perhaps that's because its the first place I used to go camping as a kid.... guess it depends on what you're used to and how diverse your UK experiences have been.


Uniqueness can be felt in many places in Great Britain, mostly due to the geographical nature of places. Scotland, Wales and Cornwall have kept their separate languages due to the 'isolated' nature of their somewhat intractable landscapes, as has the North.
I like the idea of separateness but not nationalism which scars so many groups. Cornwall deserves, as had Wales over the last few years, the cultural right to use an older language, call it the Celtic fringe, but better still call it individuality...
