Launceston
Launceston is a town, old borough, and civil parish in Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. It is 1 mile (1.6 km) west of the middle phase of the River Tamar, which constitutes nearly the entire border between Cornwall as well as Devon. The landscape of the town is generally steep particularly at a sharp south-western knoll covered by Launceston Castle. These slopes fall down to the River Kensey as well as smaller sized tributaries. The community centre itself is bypassed and also is no more physically a main highway. The A388 still runs through the community near to the centre. The community continues to be figuratively the "entrance to Cornwall", as a result of having the A30, among the two dual carriageways into the area, pass straight alongside the town. The other dual carriageway and also alternative main point of entry is the A38 at Saltash over the Tamar Bridge and also was finished in 1962. There are smaller points of entry to Cornwall on minor roads. Launceston Steam Railway narrow-gauge heritage train runs as a visitor destination throughout the summer months. It was recovered for visual and industrial heritage objectives as well as runs along a brief rural route, it is preferred with visitors however 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 manage the surrounding location. Launceston was the caput of the feudal barony of Launceston and also of the Earldom of Cornwall up until replaced by Lostwithiel in the 13th century. Launceston was later on the county town of Cornwall till 1835 when Bodmin replaced it. Two civil parishes serve the town as well as its borders, of which the main even more built-up administrative unit housed 8,952 citizens at the 2011 census. Three electoral wards consist of recommendation to the town, their complete population, from 2011 census data, being 11,837 and also two ecclesiastical churches offer the previous single church, with three churches as well as a big swathe of land to the north as well as west part of the location. Launceston's slogan "Royale et Loyale" (English translation: Royal and Loyal) is a recommendation to its adherence to the Cavalier reason during the English Civil War of the mid-17th century.
