Launceston

Launceston is a community, old borough, as well as civil parish in Cornwall, England, UK. It is 1 mile (1.6 km) west of the middle phase of the River Tamar, which makes up almost the entire border in between Cornwall and Devon. The landscape of the town is typically steep particularly at a sharp south-western knoll covered by Launceston Castle. These slopes fall down to the River Kensey and also smaller tributaries. The community centre itself is bypassed and is no longer physically a primary road. The A388 still runs through the town near the centre. The community continues to be figuratively the "portal to Cornwall", because of having the A30, one of the two twin carriageways into the county, pass straight alongside the town. The various other double carriageway and also different main point of entrance is the A38 at Saltash over the Tamar Bridge as well as was completed in 1962. There are smaller points of entry to Cornwall on minor roadways. Launceston Steam Railway narrow-gauge heritage railway runs as a vacationer attraction during the summertime. It was brought back for aesthetic and industrial heritage purposes and also leaves a brief rural route, it is popular with visitors yet does not compete much of the year. Launceston Castle was developed by Robert, Count of Mortain (half-brother of William the Conqueror) c. 1070 to regulate the surrounding area. Launceston was the caput of the feudal barony of Launceston as well as of the Earldom of Cornwall until replaced by Lostwithiel in the 13th century. Launceston was later on the county town of Cornwall till 1835 when Bodmin changed it. Two civil parishes serve the community and its outskirts, of which the central more built-up administrative system housed 8,952 citizens at the 2011 census. Three electoral wards include referral to the community, their overall population, from 2011 census data, being 11,837 and also two clerical parishes serve the previous single church, with three churches and also a huge swathe of land to the north and west part of the area. Launceston's slogan "Royale et Loyale" (English translation: Royal and Loyal) is a referral to its adherence to the Cavalier reason throughout the English Civil War of the mid-17th century.
