    Round Walks Inland Tregoss Crossing, Belowda Beacon and Castle-an-Dinas 6.30 miles Page 1 **************************************************************************************** Start from the small car park on the old A30 near Tregoss railway level crossing at 96074/60981. Tregoss Crossing Car Park to Belowda – 0.85 miles Set off slightly N of E on the path alongside the old A30. After 135 yards go R and L on a properly made path, slightly N of E, through a horse stile and continue with hedge and old A30 to your L and scrub and the Newquay to Par railway to your R. At 580 yards, at 96592/61034, with a kissing gate to a path to Tregoss to your R, go L across a small wooden bridge over a stream. Cross the old A30 with care to a Public Footpath sign and 4 steps down to a fairly high wooden stile (beware barbed wire) to marshy moorland. An obvious (most of the way) path crosses this stretch of marshy moorland, initially overall roughly NNE, then overall roughly N, dabs of yellow paint generally marking the way. This path is classified by Cornwall Council as ‘silver’ but actually merits a rating of less then bronze. At 625 yards cross a tiny clapper bridge, then boggy tussocks for a short way. At 655 yards you are veering slightly away from a barbed wire fence to your R. At 695 yards cross another small clapper with an iron railing to more boggy ground. Continue to a low granite stile leading to wooden duck-boards to some slightly firmer ground.

  • Responsibilities for Flood Risk Management
    Appendix A - Responsibilities for Flood Risk Management The Department for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) has overall responsibility for flood risk management in England. Their aim is to reduce flood risk by: • discouraging inappropriate development in areas at risk of flooding. • encouraging adequate and cost effective flood warning systems. • encouraging adequate technically, environmentally and economically sound and sustainable flood defence measures. The Government’s Foresight Programme has recently produced a report called Future Flooding, which warns that the risk of flooding will increase between 2 and 20 times over the next 75 years. The report produced by the Office of Science and Technology has a long-term vision for the future (2030 – 2100), helping to make sure that effective strategies are developed now. Sir David King, the Chief Scientific Advisor to the Government concluded: “continuing with existing policies is not an option – in virtually every scenario considered (for climate change), the risks grow to unacceptable levels. Secondly, the risk needs to be tackled across a broad front. However, this is unlikely to be sufficient in itself. Hard choices need to be taken – we must either invest in more sustainable approaches to flood and coastal management or learn to live with increasing flooding”. In response to this, Defra is leading the development of a new strategy for flood and coastal erosion for the next 20 years. This programme, called “Making Space for Water” will help define and set the agenda for the Government’s future strategic approach to flood risk. Within this strategy there will be an overall approach to the assessing options through a strong and continuing commitment to CFMPs and SMPs within a broader planning framework which will include River Basin Management Plans prepared under the Water Framework Directive and Integrated Coastal Zone Management.

    Cornish Mineral Reference Manual Peter Golley and Richard Williams April 1995 First published 1995 by Endsleigh Publications in association with Cornish Hillside Publications © Endsleigh Publications 1995 ISBN 0 9519419 9 2 Endsleigh Publications Endsleigh House 50 Daniell Road Truro, Cornwall TR1 2DA England Printed in Great Britain by Short Run Press Ltd, Exeter. Introduction Cornwall's mining history stretches back 2,000 years; its mineralogy dates from comparatively recent times. In his Alphabetum Minerale (Truro, 1682) Becher wrote that he knew of no place on earth that surpassed Cornwall in the number and variety of its minerals. Hogg's 'Manual of Mineralogy' (Truro 1825) is subtitled 'in wich [sic] is shown how much Cornwall contributes to the illustration of the science', although the manual is not exclusively based on Cornish minerals. It was Garby (TRGSC, 1848) who was the first to offer a systematic list of Cornish species, with locations in his 'Catalogue of Minerals'. Garby was followed twenty-three years later by Collins' A Handbook to the Mineralogy of Cornwall and Devon' (1871; 1892 with addenda, the latter being reprinted by Bradford Barton of Truro in 1969). Collins followed this with a supplement in 1911. (JRIC Vol. xvii, pt.2.). Finally the torch was taken up by Robson in 1944 in the form of his 'Cornish Mineral Index' (TRGSC Vol. xvii), his amendments and additions were published in the same Transactions in 1952. All these sources are well known, but the next to appear is regrettably much less so. it would never the less be only just to mention Purser's 'Minerals and locations in S.W.

    The Belowda Beacon Clayworkillgs ­ Two Forgotten Pits John Tonkin Parish: Roche Mineral Lord: Viscount Falmouth Ordnance Survey Sheets, 1/2500: xxxiii-14 (1880 & 1905) or SW9662-9762 (1977) Belovely Pit: was working by 1856 & the equipment was sold off in 1877 @ N.G. co-ords: 196725E, 062700 N. BeJowda Pit: was looked at in 1906, started by 1912 & closed in 1924 @ N.G. co-ords: 196750E, 062600 N. Introduction: In the years before the Second World War, the older people in the district used to call the little hamlet that nestles under Belowda Beacon, just where the ground begins to rise off the Goss Moor towards the summit, "Belovely village." Originally this was a mining settlement sited mid-way along the wide, north-dipping, stanniferous elvan which outcrops from Brynn Mine in the East to Old Castle-an-Dinas and Black Acre. It has been traced for over three miles and was notable for yielding pseudomorphs of cassiterite after felspar and for the amount of minute topazes found in the stamped sand. On the southern flank, but near the crest of the ridge, still stands the beam engine house belonging to Belowda Beacon Mine. Looking for tin, this explored a couple of quartz­ tourmaline lodes that carried some cassiterite, a little wolfram and were famous for yielding some fine pseudomorphs of both cassiterite and tourmaline after felspar. Much of the schorl was extremely course. The country rock is mostly granite, none of which could be described as "fresh". The area was scratched over, off and on, for many years, notably by the East Cornwall Mining Association between 1833 and 1842 1 mostly by open cuts.
