Jangye-ryn

The curiously named Jangye-ryn, located just around the corner from Gunwalloe beach on the Lizard Peninsula. I believe there are some interesting geological formations somewhere here....
Poldhu Cove Panorama

Poldhu Cove on the Lizard Peninsula. This wasn't even low tide and there was too much beach to fit on one photo (this is 3 stitched together). Poldhu is perhaps best known for being the site of G...

Introduction
The Department of Modern Languages (DML) is a small department with nine full-time staff delivering an array of degree programmes across four languages, namely French, German, Spanish and Italian.
Hmmm... Welsh obviously isn't a modern langauge.

Which Cornish University would benefit from a million quid to teach Cornish language courses?

Seems like Cornwall is going the same way as North Wales is now in 20 years. Barren and bleak.
