Devon, Cornwall and The Isles of Scilly

---

To attempt an introduction to a Guide to Devon and Cornwall is rather like trying to describe an apple and an orange in the same breath From an appropriate distance the two objects have a strong resemblance, the nearer you approach them the more different from each other they prove to be. No two adjoining counties in England are, I fancy, so dissımılar. It is even difficult for the casual tourist to move from one to the other without this fact being brought to his attention This is not due to any perverseness on the part of the inhabitants, it is because forrnrnages they have been in effect a different people Inevitably there are a few areas where this is not so. From Launceston to Hartland, around Stratton and Holsworthy and Bude, it is not always easy to know whether to ask for Cornish or Devonshire cream. But as a generality the differences are marked For the purposes of art, or at least of publishing, it might be convenient if a Guide to Devon and Cornwall could be a description of a homogeneous region and people. History has decreed otherwise.
