How do you get to Cornwall?
If driving you need to get to the M5 and head south. At Exeter the motorway ends and the road becomes the A38. You can follow this all the way to Plymouth and across the bridg…e on the River Tamar to get to Cornwall - this is the best way to get to places on the South Eastern coast of Cornwall (St Austell and Mevagissey, up to Saltash). For anywhere else in Cornwall, turn off the A38 just after Exeter and join the A39 (well signposted to Oakhampton). This road will take you down the spine of the county and get you into the more remote areas more quickly. This is the best route for Truro, Falmouth, Penzance etc. Newquay is well signposted off to the north of the A39. After 50 miles or so, the road stops being a dual carriageway and you will find yourself travelling much more slowly. Especially if in caravan season. Do not underestimate how long it will take you to drive there. From Exeter to Penzance will take about three hours on a clear run. In holiday traffic this will take much longer and you will want to murder anyone owning a caravan. Newquay has the only airport operating shuttle services out of Cornwall - not sure where you can fly from. By train, there is a good mainline service which passes through Plymouth St Austell, Truro and ends in Penzance. Branch lines connect up some of the larger towns. Check the internet for where. It can be expensive, but if travelling in summer and staying in one spot (eg, Newquay) I would suggest that the train is the simplest and quickest way of getting to Cornwall, unless you intend to tour around once you are there.

What is Cornwall?
Cornwall is a country with its own language, culture and distinct history. It has the constitutional status of a Duchy and has never had any Act of Union of Joinder with Engla…nd. Cornwall forms the extreme part of the South West peninsula of Britain. Cornwall is not a county of England although the London Government asserts otherwise and at the present time treats Cornwall in many ways as if it were part of England - but legally it is not. Cornwall is a Duchy founded on the ancient kingdom of Cornwall. The three Duchy Charters of 1337/38 along with the body of Stannary law enacted by its Stannary Parliament ("the origins of which go back beyond the mind of man") form its legal and constitutional basis. It is an indisputable fact that Cornwall has never had any Act of Union or Joinder with England or any other territory, and much evidence including legislation and charters enacted by various Dukes of Cornwall confirm Cornwall's separate sovereignty. Cornwall has its own Keltic language (Kernewek) which is closely related to Breton and Welsh. There are probably only a few hundred speakers, but the number is increasing. The Cornish are a distinct people with a distinct linguistic cultural, historical and legal heritage and a clearly defined territory. Several Cornish language and cultural organisations started in the early 20th Century and gradually gained support. A political dimension then developed. In 1951 Mebyon Kernow (literally 'sons of Cornwall') started as a cultural and political pressure group for Cornish autonomy and soon became a political party. It is now called Mebyon Kernow - the Party for Cornwall and has at the time of writing six members on Cornwall Council. The pressure within Cornwall for political independence is growing although it is not yet as advanced as similar movements in Wales and Scotland.
