The West Country (Cornish: An Tir West) is a loosely defined area within southwest England,[1] usually taken to include the counties of Cornwall, Devon, Dorset, Somerset and Bristol, with some considering it to extend to all or parts of Wiltshire, Gloucestershire and Herefordshire.[2] The West Country has a distinctive regional English dialect and accent,[3] and is also home to the Cornish language.
