Bordered to the north and west by the Celtic Sea and to the south by the English Channel, the idyll of Cornwall, a county in South West England in the United Kingdom, can be most assuring, after the hurly-burly of London.

It's a little over four hours from the capital city by rail - usually a comfortable ride, but sometimes made unpredictable by the weather. Travelling with a group of international journalists, courtesy VisitBritain, from Paddington station (London) to Falmouth -the first stop on a trip known as the 'South West Coast Path' - we began with quick introductions. And, we were off to catch the train to Cornwall.
