Cornish Identity & Devolution

This 'Cornish Identity' page has been expanded to include information and links to articles, papers, websites and social media relating to Cornish devolution. Celtic Nation Kernow is not a political organisation, however we do support Cornish devolution and those fighting for it as this is essential to preserve Kernow's culture and wider heritage. Every effort must be made to ensure that we in Cornwall control our own destiny within our historic borders and that we are not subsumed by Westminster into a wider south western English regional unit.
