West Cornwall (UK Region)
West Cornwall is a name used to refer to the westernmost part of Cornwall, England, in the United Kingdom. It is also used by Cornwall Council and Cornwall Housing as part of their resource allocation and area management plans, in which Cornwall is divided into three sections, west, central and east. The South West Coast Path also uses West Cornwall to describe its westernmost parts. West Cornwall covers the area of the Penwith and Kerrier districts, stopping at Carrick which is central Cornwall. Some maps show West Cornwall as covering a smaller area, ending at a line between Hayle and Helston, making West Cornwall the distinct landform at the very South-Western tip of Cornwall. News outlets often use West Cornwall without any obvious correlation to either way of defining the area, but simply to refer to anywhere west of Truro. West Cornwall Hospital is located in Penzance, West Cornwall. Penzance, St Ives, Hayle, Helston and Land's End Land's End ( or ''Pedn an Wlas' ...

Adrian G
Adrian is a form of the Latin given name Adrianus or Hadrianus. Its ultimate origin is most likely via the former river Adria from the Venetic and Illyrian word ''adur'', meaning "sea" or "water". The Adria was until the 8th century BC the main channel of the Po River into the Adriatic Sea but ceased to exist before the 1st century BC. Hecataeus of Miletus (c.550 – c.476 BC) asserted that both the Etruscan harbor city of Adria and the Adriatic Sea had been named after it. Emperor Hadrian's family was named after the city or region of Adria/Hadria, now Atri, in Picenum, which most likely started as an Etruscan or Greek colony of the older harbor city of the same name. Several saints and six popes have borne this name, including the only English pope, Adrian IV, and the only Dutch pope, Adrian VI. As an English name, it has been in use since the Middle Ages. Religion * Pope Adrian I (c. 700–795) * Pope Adrian II (c. 792–872) * Pope Adrian III (c. 830–885) * Pope Adri ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
