East CornwallLaunceston

Launceston, an old town with a compact shopping centre, sited at a  major road junction, which was once the county capital.

Ideal if you like churches, try St Mary Magdalene for a 16th century granite carving, St Thomas's has the largest font in Cornwall, and at  St Stephen-by-Launceston, 1.5 miles north by the Golf Club, this church was the mother church of the town.
