Launceston
Launceston has a population of approximately 7,000 people. It is situated about 2 miles from the border at The River Tamar, and is known as 'The Gateway to Cornwall'.
It annually hosts the 'Castle Rock' music festival in July, which originally took place on the lower grounds of the castle which overlooks the town. As well as a vibrant mix of local bands, the 2006 festival was headlined by 'Capdown' which massively improved the events profile. Castle Rock now takes place at Polson rugby ground.
