Cornwall 2009 Calendar. The county of Cornwall is most notably famous for pirates, tin mining, and the classic Cornish pasty which were originally eaten by the miners working the tin mines. The classic and original pasty had a savoury filling one end, and a sweat filling the other. Cornwall is steeped in history - beginning with the pre-Roman inhabitants. Since the decline of tin mining, agriculture and fishing have become the area's primary economy drivers in addition to tourism. This delightful calendar celebrates the county of Cornwall at its best. The popular A4 format is the perfect size for a smaller wall space. There is ample room to write birthdays, anniversaries or appointments on each of the monthly calendar grids.
