Funny that. Cornwall's always felt far more 'English' to me than, say, Cumbria or Yorkshire. Perhaps that's because its the first place I used to go camping as a kid.... guess it depends on what you're used to and how diverse your UK experiences have been.


Initially I thought the same but in the process of making a comment came across this thought provoking article about the history of Cornwall - worth a read.

It also reminded me that Cornwall is nominally under the jurisdiction of the Duchy of Cornwall so unlikely to be going for independence.
