South West England comprises the counties of Cornwall, Devon, Somerset, Dorset, Wiltshire and Gloucestershire. This peninsular region stretches to Land's End, the westernmost point of mainland England. It is known for its dramatic coastline, the wild moors of Dartmoor and Exmoor, and historic sites such as Stonehenge and Bath. The economy is based on tourism, agriculture and fishing. Bristol is the main urban centre. The region retains a strong cultural identity, particularly in Cornwall with its ancient Celtic language. The beaches and coastal paths attract millions of visitors every year.
