About Cornwall in Focus

Our objective

The idea that was to become Cornwall in Focus was born in late 1998. The aim was to produce a website dedicated to Cornwall, a cross between a digital scrapbook and a Cornish encyclopaedia covering 'All things Cornish'.

Our objective - to promote Cornwall to the outside world.

Cornwall revealed

From humble beginnings, Cornwall in Focus has grown over the years from a handful of pages into the vast repository of knowledge it is today. There are now well in excess of 1200 pages with distinct sections dedicated to every aspect of life in the Duchy:

• Learn all about the distinct culture and heritage of this enigmatic land
• Understand how the region was created before the time of the dinosaurs and how the scenery developed
• Follow the timeline from prehistory through the time of the Celts to its integration into England
• Unravel the Cornish Language easily through learning the meaning of its place names
• Trace your family history back to the start of the Industrial Revolution and beyond
• Explore the rich industrial history of Cornwall with our dedicated mining section
• Plan your visit to Cornwall with detailed information from expert guides
• Walk the Cornwall coast path from the safety of your armchair
• Locate the best beaches and those secluded coves that so many overlook
• Stay with us in country cottages, elegant hotels, holiday parks or get back to basics with your tent
• Treat your taste buds at our pick of quality restaurants and country inns
• Introduce yourself and recount your memories of Cornwall in our Forum

Plans for the future include the inclusion of high definition video and audio clips into the website to give users a fully integrated experience.
