Cornwall: Polperro, The Miniature Village and Land of legend.
A whistle stop tour of Cornwall and Polperro; not forgetting 'The Miniature Village', (a model village which is a replica of Polperro). And lets not forget 'Land of legend' ... the history of Cornwall told by an array of colorful puppets which is situated within 'The Miniature Village' grounds.
This beautiful village still has it's working fishermen who catch fish for all the local food outlets and probably half of Cornwall it's self on a daily basis. Thanks for watching. Hope you enjoy. PS: Sorry about the picture that found it's way in towards the end, not sure how it happened but it was to late to change. : )

Polperro
Polperro is a village and fishing harbour on the south-east Cornwall coast in the south west of England, within the civil parish of Lansallos.
Polperro, through which runs the River Pol, is 7 miles east of Fowey and 4 miles west of the neighbouring town of Looe and 25 miles west of the major city and naval port of Plymouth. It is a noted tourist destination, particularly in the summer months, for its idyllic appearance with tightly-packed ancient fishermen's houses which survive almost untouched, its quaint harbour and attractive coastline.

Dingerein Castle Hill Fort Cornwall
This hill fort was once the seat of the King Of Cornwall according to tradition and ancient accounts. It is situated on the eastern side of the A3078 near Gerrans village Cornwall.
The fort is mentioned in various histories of old Cornwall such as Leyland
.. About a myle by west of Fenare is a force (or strong hold) nere the shore, in the paroch of S. Gerons. It is single dikyed, and within a but shot of the north side of the same, apperith an hole of a vault, broken up by a plough in tylling. This vault had an issue from the castelle to the se; and a little by north of the castelle are a 4 or 5 borowes or cast hi lies.
Dave has composed a rather lovely haunting and sad piece for this movie as it is a shame that the fort is now more or less gone.Still the parish church of St. Gerrans is dedicated to him,so all is not forgotten.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Cornwall (; Cornish: Kernow [ˈkɛrnɔʊ]) is a county in South West England, bordered to the north and west by the Celtic Sea, to the south by the English Channel, and to the east by Devon, the River Tamar forming the border between them. Cornwall is the westernmost part of the South West Peninsula of the island of Great Britain. The southwesternmost point is Land's End and the southernmost Lizard Point. Cornwall has a population of 563,600 and an area of 3,563 km2 (1,376 sq mi). It is administered by Cornwall Council, apart from the Isles of Scilly, which are administered separately. The county town is Truro, Cornwall's only city.
Cornwall is the homeland of the Cornish people and the cultural and ethnic origin of the Cornish diaspora. It retains a distinct cultural identity that reflects its history, and is recognised as one of the Celtic nations. It was formerly a Brythonic kingdom and subsequently a royal duchy. The Cornish nationalist movement contests the present constitutional status of Cornwall and seeks greater autonomy within the United Kingdom in the form of a devolved legislative Cornish Assembly with powers similar to those in Wales and Scotland. In 2014, Cornish people were granted minority status under the European Framework Convention for the Protection of National Minorities, giving them recognition as a distinct ethnic group.First inhabited in the Palaeolithic and Mesolithic periods, Cornwall continued to be occupied by Neolithic and then Bronze Age peoples, and later (in the Iron Age) by Brythons with strong ethnic, linguistic, trade and cultural links to Wales and Brittany the latter of which was settled by Britons from the region. Mining in Cornwall and Devon in the south-west of England began in the early Bronze Age.
Few Roman remains have been found in Cornwall, and there is little evidence that the Romans settled or had much military presence there. After the collapse of the Roman Empire, Cornwall (along with Devon, parts of Dorset and Somerset, and the Scilly Isles) was a part of the Brittonic kingdom of Dumnonia, ruled by chieftains of the Cornovii who may have included figures regarded as semi-historical or legendary, such as King Mark of Cornwall and King Arthur, evidenced by folklore traditions derived from the Historia Regum Britanniae. The Cornovii division of the ...
