Cornwall occupies a peninsula bounded on the north and west by the Atlantic Ocean and by the
English Channel to the south. Land's End is England's most westerly point, beyond which lie the
Isles of Scilly.
The deeply indented Cornish coast is lined with rocky cliffs sheltering picturesque coves once
legendary haunts of smugglers. Its scenic beauty, mild climate and long sandy beaches have
made Cornwall popular for sailing and surfing, and its pretty fishing villages. Inland stretch the
stark granite uplands of Bodmin Moor, which provide good walking country.
