1 CORNWALL is the only county in the United Kingdom that borders only one other county. With 84 counties nationwide, that means there is just a 1.2% chance that this neighbouring county is Devon… but it is! That is remarkable enough, but when you learn that Devon is also the only county in the UK to abut Cornwall, the odds of these two counties sharing a border drops to an unbelievably low 0.014%, or 1 chance in 6972!
2 CORNWALL has its own unique cryptozoological creature – the BEAST OF BODMIN MOOR. This elusive creature is a black feline, a couple of inches larger than an average domestic black cat, which is occasionally spotted in the distance and photographed standing against an unusually small wall.
Cornish place names begin with the prefixes Tre-, Pol-or Pen-, examples including Trewint, Polperro and Pentewan.
