VISIT Launceston now, in the spring of the year, and you will see what is perhaps the best display of daffodils in the whole of Cornwall.

The banks on the approaches to the town are a mass of colour, but the real scene stealer is the Millennium Avenue, the link road between the two industrial estates on the southern edge of the town, just off the main roundabout.

Margaret Wills, the chairman of Launceston in Bloom said:

"The Millennium Avenue is an avenue of 100 English Oak Trees (Quercus robur) which was planted by the Launceston in Bloom Association in the year 2000 to mark the millennium, from funding raised by grant funding and from community donations."
