The scheme enables community consultation to take place and emphasises the links between parish council and the community. The consultation process identifies what the residents want—this can be from small improvements to large scale projects! At this stage it can include some items which are perhaps more of a “wish list”. How- ever from this consultation process more work is still needed on the information that is gathered so that a realistic and feasible action plan (The Parish Plan) can emerge identifying possible part- ners (e.g. councils, primary care trusts, environmental groups), actions and funders who may be able to help in achieving the aims contained within the plan.

Einstieg in den Coast Path: Hinter Mousehole geht man noch ca. 500 m auf der Straße, dann wird der Coast Path ein richtiger „Pfad“, der sich entlang der Küste auf und ab windet. Es wird einsam. Die Fischerorte bestehen nur aus wenigen Häusern. Der Weg ist vor und hinter Lamorna Cove sehr steinig, was eine erhöhte Konzen- tration erfordert. Einkehrmöglichkeiten unterwegs: Lamorna Cove Café.

  • Isles of Scilly
    Isles of Scilly Naturetrek Tour Report 14 - 21 September 2019 Porthcressa and the Garrison Red Squirrel Grey Seals Birdwatching on Peninnis Head Report & Images by Andrew Cleave Naturetrek Mingledown Barn Wolf's Lane Chawton Alton Hampshire GU34 3HJ UK T: +44 (0)1962 733051 E: [email protected] W: www.naturetrek.co.uk Tour Report Isles of Scilly Tour participants: Andrew Cleave (leader) plus 12 Naturetrek clients Summary Our early-autumn week on the Isles of Scilly was timed to coincide with the bird migration which is easily observed on the islands. Our crossings to and from Scilly on Scillonian III enabled us to see seabirds in their natural habitat, and the many boat trips we took during the week gave us close views of plenty of the resident and migrant birds which were feeding and sheltering closer to shore. We had long walks on all of the inhabited islands and as well as birds, managed to see some marine mammals, many rare plants and some interesting intertidal marine life. Informative evening lectures by resident experts were well received and we also sampled lovely food in many of the pubs and cafés on the islands. Our waterfront accommodation in Schooners Hotel was very comfortable and ideally placed for access to the harbour and Hugh Town. Day 1 Saturday 14th September We began our trip in Penzance harbour where we boarded Scillonian III for the crossing to Scilly. Conditions were fine for the crossing and those of us up on deck had good views of seabirds, including Gannets, Fulmars and winter-plumage auks as we followed the Cornish coast and then headed out into the Atlantic.

    3rd March 2017 STANDING OUT THE MAGAZINE FOR MOUNTS BAY ACADEMY Photo: Mr Raggett Cover: Orienteering 25th May 2018 PRINCIPAL’S REPORT It’s in our DNA... I’m often asked by visitors when they come to the Academy, why do you think that your students seem to be such well balanced, confident and gregarious individuals compared to their counterparts in some areas of the country? The answer of course is due to many factors, firstly we live and work in one of the most beautiful places in the UK with its own unique history and culture. At Mounts Bay we then give all of our students the learning, personal mentoring and skills to enable them to use their time with us to the best of their advantage with the aim of making them “the best that they can be”. When you examine this more closely it is through a combination of the attributes we were born with and our learning experiences that result in our success. As we are in the throws of the GCSE examination timetable, I have been observing some of the work we are doing in our revision sessions and in Science they have been looking at what makes things the way they are. A fundamental element of this is DNA, or a set of instructions in each cell that tells it what it needs to do to grow and fulfil its function successfully. So the key to our success is that it’s already “in our DNA”, we just need to use the talents we were born with and follow the “instructions” in our Mounts Bay DNA.

T. POWELL, S. SALMON, A.H. CLARK AND R.K. SHAIL Powell, T., Salmon, S., Clark, A.H. and Shail, R.K. (1999). Emplacement styles within the Land's End Granite, west Cornwall. Geoscience in south-west England , 9, 333-339. The Land's End Granite is the youngest of the major plutons of the Cornubian batholith and comprises a number of discrete bodies of both coarse-grained granite (CGG) and fine-grained granite (FGG). Detailed re-mapping of selected parts of the composite Land's End pluton indicates that individual granite intrusions take a variety of forms, including dykes and sub-horizontal sheets. U-Pb (monazite) and 40 Ar-39 Ar (muscovite) age data have been interpreted elsewhere to indicate that the CGG and FGG of the northern "Zennor lobe" were emplaced c. 2-3 m.y. before the CGG and FGG of the southern "St Buryan lobe".

  • SMP2 6 Final Report
    6 ACTION PLAN 6.1 Coastal risk management activities The Action Plan for the Cornwall & Isles of Scilly Shoreline Management Plan review provides the basis for taking forward the intent of management which is discussed and developed through Chapter 4 - and summarised through the preferred policy choices set out in Chapter 5. The SMP guidance states that the purpose of the Action Plan is to summarise the actions that are required before the next review of the SMP however in reality the Action Plan is looking much further into the future in order to provide guidance on how the overall management intent for 100 years may be taken forward. For Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly SMP the Action Plan is a critical element, because there are various conditional policies for later epochs which need to be more firmly established in the future based on monitoring and investigation. The Action Plan can set the framework for an on-going shoreline management process in the coming years, with SMP3 in 5 to 10 years time as the next important milestone. This chapter therefore attempts to capture all intended actions necessary, on a policy unit by policy unit basis, to deliver the objectives at a local level. It should also help to prioritise FCRM medium and long-term planning budget lines. A number of the actions are representative of on-going commitments across the SMP area (for example to South West Regional Coastal Monitoring Programme). There are also actions that are representative of wide-scale intent of management, for example in relation to gaining a better understanding of the roles played by the various harbours and breakwaters located around the coast in terms of coast protection and sea defence.
