Cornwall is a land of Cottages

Cornwall consists of six districts, which are, from west to east: Penwith, Kerrier, Carrick, Restormel, North Cornwall, and Caradon. While traditionally administered as part of Cornwall, the Isles of Scilly are now a separate unitary authority.

Cornwall's climate is milder than the rest of the country as a result of its southerly latitude and the influence of the Gulf Stream, however its proximity to the sea also makes Cornwall's weather relatively changeable. The moist, mild air coming from the south west brings higher amounts of rainfall than eastern Great Britain, however not as much as more northern areas of the west coast. Winters are mild, and frost or snow are uncommon apart from in the central upland areas. The average annual temperature for most of Cornwall is 9.8 to 12 degrees Celsius (49.6 to 53.6 °F), with slightly lower temperatures at higher altitude. Most of Cornwall enjoys over 1541 hours of sunshine per year. Pendennis Point in Falmouth is the warmest place on mainland Great Britain, with an average temperature of 11.4°C (52.5°F).
