St Columb
St Columb Major is a town and civil parish in Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. Frequently referred to locally as St Columb, it is about 7 miles (11 kilometres) southwest of Wadebridge and six miles (10 kilometres) east of Newquay. The classification Significant distinguishes it from the neighboring negotiation and parish of St Columb Minor on the shore. An electoral ward just named St Columb exists with a population at the 2011 census of 5,050. Twice a year the town plays host to "tossing", a middle ages video game when usual throughout Cornwall and now just played in St Columb and also St Ives. It is played on Shrove Tuesday and after that again on the Saturday eleven days later. The game involves 2 groups of a number of hundred individuals (the 'townsmen' as well as the 'fellow citizens') who endeavour to bring a silver round made of apple timber to goals set two miles (3 kilometres) apart, making the parish, around 25 square miles (65 km2) in location, the de facto biggest sports ground on the planet.
