The two sides to Cornwall The contrast between the south coast of Cornwall and its north coast is stunning. To the south, large inlets shelter ports and protect them against the whims of the Channel. Ports such as Falmouth, the Helford River and Fowey. Here exists an established, maritime way of life. When one passes over Land’s End, the western point of the region, the countryside changes again. With very little shelter, a coast battered by the winds and the swell of the sea – a paradise for surfers and other board watersports.
Cornwall Enterprise, the project partner for Cornwall, represents a number of Cornish businesses and local authority services. Even though a large number of maritime industries and businesses are based close to the River Fal between Falmouth and Truro, one must not forget the economic and touristic activity that is taking place in the watersport stations such as Penzance, Newquay or Bude, well known as the best places in the west of the region for surfing.
Finally, Cornwall will be welcoming for the second time, the Interceltic Watersport Festival in 2006. |
