The county of Cornwall is the south west tip of England and is synonymous with romantic tales of pirates and smugglers. Cornwall covers about 1,400 square miles (including the Isles of Scilly) and has a population of about half a million. The name Cornwall comes from the the Latin Cornu meaning horn. West of Dunnoii (Devon) was the Corneu of the Britons - the land of the horn. The Old English wahl means foreign as the English called the Britons.
For many years Cornwall's main product was tin, mined there since the Bronze Age.
Famous sons and daughters of Cornwall include Sir Humphry Davy who invented the miners safety lamp, the poet Sir John Betjeman, novelist Daphne Du Maurier whose 'Jamaica Inn' resulted in the real pub becoming a popular tourist attraction in Cornwall and William Golding writer of 'Lord of the Flies'.
Any town centre can be used as your base if you would like to take part in a treasure hunt, Spy Mission or take part in spy-themed team building activities.
If you would prefer an adrenaline-fuelled multiactivity day, head to the countryside where you can combine motorised activities (such as blindfold driving, 4x4 driving and quad bikes), field sports (such as clay shooting, archery and laser clays) and classic and original teambuilding challenges.
