Landscape
Features 6
When you look around a
landscape you see far more than inanimate geology. You see wild life; plants
and animals in some form or other, many of which have found their way into the
place names of Cornwall (see Place Names 9) – some a matter of pride, some more
of a pest, some no longer native. (See
Landscape Features 7 for plants and creepy crawlies).
