Not many do, Jenny. The last native Cornish speakers died out in the late 18th and early 19th centuries and were to be found in the West Penwith area (towards Land's End as you would expect). But the language never completely died; it was kept alive by a few victorian antiquarians and linguists and in the past 50 years or so there has been a growing interest in teaching it and learning it again. It is thought that over 500 people can converse in Cornish as a second language.

Quite a few. It's near a lane that also leads to Mên-an-Tol holed stone ( www.ipernity.com/doc/2247598/45334508/in/album/1036932 ) and Boskednan (Nine Maidens) stone circle (no photo, sorry!)

I think they have a charm all of their own which is partly to do with the mystery and partly to do with the fact that they are all different from each other!
Thanks Keith!
