  • Application on Behalf of Cornwall Council and Caradon Observatory for Bodmin Moor to Be Considered As an International Dark Sky Landscape
    1 Executive Summary Bodmin Moor is a special place. Amongst the many environmental designations ranging from the international to the local, Bodmin Moor forms part of an Area of Outstanding Beauty. This means it benefits from the same planning status and protection as English National Parks. Visitors are already drawn to the dramatic panoramas, varied wildlife and intriguing history, with those already in the know also appreciating and learning about the stars in the exceptionally dark night sky. Caradon Observatory readings taken in and around Bodmin Moor quantify the remarkable quality of the sky’s darkness and correspond with the findings of the Campaign to Protect Rural England Night Blight study. The results show that even around the villages there are impressive views of the night sky. There is considerable support from the public and stakeholder organisations for the establishment of Bodmin Moor as an International Dark Sky Landscape with “Park” status. Feedback from residents, businesses, landowners, farmers, astronomers, educators, environmental bodies and other statutory and charitable organisations has helped shape the proposals. Enthusiasm is such that there have already been calls to widen the buffer zone if the designation is successful. The alternative title for the designation stems from local feedback and reflects the AONB status. Bodmin Moor comprises a varied moorland landscape with a few small villages and hamlets so there is very little artificial light. Nevertheless, steps have been taken and are continuing to be made to reduce light pollution, particularly from streets. This means that the vast majority of lighting is sensitive to the dark night sky and is becoming even more sympathetic.

GUIDESTONES RESTORED BASHED BRIDGE OF THE MONTH It was never intended that this should become a regular feature but sadly our reliance on motor transport is not only harming air quality but is also a threat to some important historic monuments. This month’s victim, once again, is Trekelland Bridge (Listed Building (II*) 68430, in Lewannick parish), ironically described on Heritage Gateway as ‘one of the best preserved and most beautiful of Cornish bridges’ (https://www.heritagegateway.org.uk/Gateway/Results_Single.aspx?uid=MCO9740&resourceID=10 20). Rosy Hann’s photos (see below) show the latest damage. The January edition of From Your Own Correspondent illustrated the rapid and skilful repairs made by Cormac following another collision with the structure.

    ABCPIAEOLOGIA: OK, MISCELLANEOUS TKACTS, &c. I.—On the Stone Circles of East Cornwall. By H. ST. G-EOKGE GRAY, Esq. Read 12th December, 1907. I.—INTRODUCTORY REMARKS. IN describing the " Stripple Stones " circle and the excavations which have taken place there, it is my intention to confine my remarks very largely to them, and to bear in mind that the work of excavation was conducted with a view of endeavouring to ascertain the approximate date of construction of this ancient monument. Descriptions, however, will be given of stone circles in the immediate vicinity, two of which the writer took the opportunity of surveying in 1905 and two in 1906, the five forming a group on Bodmin Moors. II.—EXCAVATIONS AT THE "STRIPPLE STONES" CIRCLE, EAST CORNWALL. 1. THE POSITION OF THE CIRCLE. THE Stripple Stones/ the largest stone circle of Devon and Cornwall, excepting the Fernacre circle, which slightly exceeds it,b is situated in East Cornwall in the a " From certain depositions in the Exchequer of the reign of Queen Elizabeth (Depositions in the Exchequer, 41 Eliz.) it appears that at that time this circle was known as ' Stripple Stones.'

Carew's Survey of Cornwall, 1602 ; nor in Wm. Borlase's History of Cornwall, 1769. W. 0.
