Cornwall, not England
Out of all the counties that I have visited in England, Cornwall, more than anywhere in England, you have a sense of what county you are in.
Cornwall is at the tip of the south-west peninsula of Britain. It is bounded by sea and County Devon. Its Celtic heritage and geography helps in fostering the Cornish identity.
Driving to Cornwall from Plymouth in Devon you cross the Tamar Bridge over the River Tamar. Here you are greeted with the Cornish coat of arms and Cornish flag. People in Cornwall refer to themselves as Cornish more so than English.
