Description
A Celtic land of tin-miners, pirates, smugglers, saints and rebels - few counties are as mythologised as Cornwall. From the woodlands of the Tamar Valley to the remote peninsula of Penwith, via the wilderness of Bodmin Moor and coastal villages where tourism and fishing find an uneasy coexistence, Tim Hannigan undertakes a zigzagging journey on foot to discover how the real Cornwall, its landscapes, histories, communities and sense of identity, intersect with the many projections and tropes that writers, artists and others have placed upon it.
