This week’s winner of the Lark Plant was awarded to Messrs Johns of Milton Damerel for a Simmental Steer at £1095. Kivells notice to Store Cattle Vendors It has come to our attention in recent months that a large number of in calf Store Heifers are being reported, and because of this the vendors are having to pay large vet bills and cost of losses to the purchaser. In previous years we have found that vendors who have scanned their Heifers empty at the time of their TB test, have had a stronger trade on the day, and that has covered their cost of scanning, based on this although it’s voluntary and not compulsory to scan your Heifers, we would highly recommend it. On talking to purchasers they would be more than happy to give a little extra with the guarantee of empty Heifers. OTM COWS – 11 am A consignment of 5 well fleshed Holsteins from Messrs Auctioneer: David Kivell – 07899 960272 Seckington Dairies saw an overall average of 105p to a top of 110p realising a top price of £873.

  • BLACKPOOL MILL COTTAGE Brochure 2015
    BLACKPOOL MILL COTTAGE The 15th century cottage is situated in a beautiful valley, a stone’s throw away from a remote Atlantic cove. It sleeps 8 people but is equally suitable for 2. A private drive leading from Hartland Abbey through woodland, carpeted in snowdrops and bluebells in spring, quite suddenly opens out to reveal a view of the cliffs and the sea, with the cottage beside the Abbey stream. Its unique position makes it a wonderful place to relax, enjoy the natural surroundings, and escape from the pressures of modern living. It is a children’s paradise. In 2005 the cottage was the film location for Rosamunde Pilcher’s ‘The Shell Seekers’ with Vanessa Redgrave and Maximillian Schell. In May 2007 the BBC filmed Andrew Davies’s stunning adaptation of Jane Austen’s Sense and Sensibility here, with Janet McTeer and Mark Williams leading a cast of Hattie Morahan, Charity Wakefield, Dan Stevens, David Morrisey and Dominic Cooper. The cottage starred as ‘Barton Cottage’, home to the Dashwood family when they fell on hard times. The beach, with its rock pools, sand at low tide and unique cliff formation is always interesting in all weathers and at low tide prawns, mussels, limpets, star fish, crabs, lobsters and fish are to be found in the pools which are also wonderful natural paddling pools for children. The sea is very clean and excellent for bathing and surfing, in the right conditions. In good weather evening barbecuing on the beach with the sun setting over the sea is magical. The only light to be seen is from the lighthouse on Lundy Island.

    Hartland Coast Mission Community Benefice of Parkham, Alwington, Buckland Brewer, Hartland, Welcombe, Clovelly, Woolfardisworthy West, Bucks Mills and Lundy HARTBEAT Volume 5 Issue 1 February/March 2021 Inside this issue From the Team Rector pp. 2 & 3 From the Team Vicar pp. 3 & 4 Contact details pp. 5 & 6 Around the parishes pp. 7-14 Reconnecting with nature pp. 14 & 15 From the Parish Registers p. 16 Lectionary readings p. 19 February & March Services p. 20 Hartbeat 5-1 From Jane… Decided to keep Christmas lights up in the Rectory to help make us cheerful, especially when the rain lashes the window and the wind howls. A twinkle of lights around the nativity scene really brings a smile. I had the magi close and the shepherds scampering off with their ‘Good News’. But even I won’t leave them up after Candlemas on 2nd February. We remember Jesus being brought to the temple in Jerusalem and being dedicated to God, he is launched – the light escapes into all the world. Then it’s only a couple of weeks until Lent begins. The challenge this year is how to enjoy a stack of tossed pancakes with different toppings. They need company, more pancakes and more people! Following the Nativity Trail, someone suggested we had a Pancake Trail! Sounds like a great idea but I gave the challenge to come back when they’d work out how this can possibly be done. Imagine various points around your community where pancakes can be made. Do we have frying pans on Bunsen burners with quantities of batter to pour in? – No, that won’t do because of touching the jug of batter and the pan.

  • Marsland to Clovelly Coast
    SITE Name: Marsland to Clovelly Coast Parish: Hartland Local Authority: Torridge National Grid Ref: SS 212 174 - SS 315 254 OS Sheets: 1:50K 190 1:10K SS22 SE, NE, SW, NW, SS21 NW, NE, 32 NW, SW Locality Description: Northwest Devon coast, running for approximately 19.5 km from Marsland Mouth to Clovelly. Two specific access points recommended: the area around Hartland Quay (Location 1) and Welcombe Mouth (Location 2). Nature and Status of Site: Classic sequence of structurally deformed coastline with cliff and foreshore exposures and geomorphological features. Designated as Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) for its wildlife and geological features. Summary of Geological / Geomorphological Interest: The coastline shows unrivalled exposures through Upper Carboniferous rocks belonging to the Crackington and Bude formations. Very large folds are displayed and this area provides excellent demonstration of the nature of folds produced during the Variscan Orogeny near the northern margin of the Culm Synclinorium. This site also shows geomorphological relationships between coastal and fluvial features. It contains fine examples of hog's back cliffs and shore platforms and is noted for a remarkable set of former valleys which have truncated by retreat of the cliff-line so that their floors now lie well above present sea-level. Safety Considerations: This coastline is potentially dangerous for geological study. All of the sections require some level of clambering near or around cliff edges or bases. On this basis, only two specific locations are recommended for educational groups. Hard hats should be worn at all times and awareness of tide times is essential.
