Unique Devon branding

How excellent it is to see the newly formed Destination Devon Ltd rising to the challenge of promoting the county as a holiday, err, destination. And what joy that said promotional material focuses on the greener tourism.
But since when has Devon been unique in having two coastlines? We hate to rain on your summer parade, but doesn’t Cornwall have two coastlines, and aren’t they closer together? And who has counted the coastlines of the Isles of Scilly?
But then again it might be our dodgy grasp on the dying art of geography – our official statement of what makes up the ‘South Devon’ of the People’s Republic is anything below the 51st parallel, and we think a Butrus Butrus Root is a former UN General Secretary.
If you can shed any light on the uniqueness of Devon’s two coastlines, email us.

Ok, here’s the answer then! Cornwall techinically only has one coastline as it extends from Plymouth all the way past Lands End around to Hartland point or wherever the county border is up there without stopping - it’s continuous. Whereas Devon has a separated North and South coast. Therefore it is unique.
On a less pedantic note, just stumbled across this blog and have subscribed to it. Nice idea! Keep up the posts!
