| There are currently six local authorities within the county: Caradon in South East Cornwall covers 256 square miles between the Rivers Fowey and Tamar on the south coast and north to Bodmin Moor. Carrick is in the middle of the county from Perranporth on the north coast via the city of Truro to the port of Falmouth on the south coast. Kerrier is west of Carrick. It stretches from Godrevy Head on the north coast to Lizard Point on the south coast. North Cornwall is, as it's name suggests, in the north of the county. It streaches from the Devon border near Bude nearly down to Newquay on the north coast and covers the northern part of Bodmin Moor. Penwith is at the western end of Cornwall and includes St Ives, Penzance, Lands End and St Michael's Mount. Restormel lies across the centre of the county from Newquay to Fowey and St Austell. The name is taken from the norman castle at Restormel on the edge of Lostwithiel. From 1st April 2009 there will be a single Unitary Authority for Cornwall. It will take over the responsibilities of the County Council and the six Local Authorities. This new authority will be known as Cornwall County. In addition, the Isles of Scilly, which is not part of the county of Cornwall, has it's own local authority. This group of over 100 islands is situated 28 miles off the coast of Cornwall. |
