Cornwall - a romantic land of Tin mines and piskies (pixies), of smugglers and artists, writers and folklore. The Cornish people have a history of their own, with their own language and today you will see the Cornish Flag (St. Piran's Flag, the Patron Saint of Cornwall) being flown more than the Union Flag.
