Discover the incredible trivia and hidden stories of one of Britain's best loved destinations, Devon and Cornwall

Did you know…

… The world’s first lift was installed at the Tresavean Mine in Cornwall in 1842
… The oldest working lighthouse in England can be found in Devon
… The first transatlantic radio signals were sent from Cornwall

With more than 700 miles of coastline, two national parks and a never-ending debate over the correct way to prepare a cream tea, Devon and Cornwall are two of the best loved counties in Britain.

In the latest in his bestselling I Never Knew That trivia series, Christopher Winn goes beyond the famous landmarks to root out the hidden places, legends and human stories of Devon and Cornwall.

Featuring amazing facts as well as illustrations by artist Mai Osawa, this entertaining guide is the perfect holiday accompaniment to Britain’s favourite destination.
