This week we take a closer look at Cornwall.
The dream of a determined woman, the Minack Theatre is one of the most picturesque performance sites in the world. Perched on the cliffs on a headland near Land's End in Cornwall, it was built largely with hand tools, and was the life's work of its creator.
With an increasing emphasis on buying local produce, the avid tea-drinkers of Britain can now buy the most British tea in history - grown on Britain's only tea plantation at Tregothnan estate near Truro, Cornwall.
Mullion Cove is a picturesque harbour with a small fishing fleet on the west coast of the Lizard Peninsula in south Cornwall within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The Cove is accessible by road from Mullion village, 1 mile away, and also lies on the popular South West coast path.
The Helford River is one of the most unspoilt regions in Cornwall. It is a flooded river valley, fed by streams into its seven creeks. These creeks include Frenchman's Creek, made famous by Daphne du Maurier in her novel of the same name.
The Eden Project, a haven of botanical delights nestled in a huge crater near St Austell in Cornwall, has got to be one of the horticultural wonders of the world. Two huge Biomes there house thousands of plant species - including the largest indoor rainforest in the world.
Charlestown is the last open 18th Century Georgian harbour in the UK and a UNESCO world heritage site. By a quirk of history it remained unchanged whilst the world moved on around it, and is now the home of a fleet of tall ships.
