Launceston - Gateway to Cornwall
Launceston, gateway to Cornwall is a former capital of Cornwall. Pronounced as Lanson or Launson by the Cornish, the name of the town originates in the Celtic period - known as Lanstephan - meaning 'Church (lands) of St Stephen'. It became Dunheved under the Saxons. The town is overlooked by its Norman castle - built by Brian of Brittany in the 11th Century and is the only walled town in Cornwall. Launceston today has a unique charm and is an excellent introduction to Cornwall for the first time visitor. It is a busy Market Town of just over 7000 people and offers a number of shopping opportunities in the square. Its most famous son would be Charles Causley, the poet (1917-2003).
