THE MARSLAND VALLEY from the LIFE & LETTERS of R
A selection of quotations relating to THE MARSLAND VALLEY from THE LIFE & LETTERS OF R. S. HAWKER by Charles Edward Byles ~ : o : ~ : o : ~ : : O : : ~ : o : ~ : o : ~ FLOOD To Claude Hawker, September 29, 1850 : “I am just returned from Wellcombe, wet through, having left my Pony at Marsland Mill and walked thence. The Flood had come down after I passed onward, and I could only get back over the footbridge, and by walking over the knees in the Water. If, however, I can secure a few pounds by temporary Service, I shall be most thankful. You could not judge from the demeanour I assumed when with you how heavy-hearted – how almost afraid to hope I am.” (p. 203) _______ A SUPERNATURAL PHENOMENON “It was a bright, ferce, stern dog-day. I was returning from Wellcombe on my old grey mare. I had to cross a deep and narrow Gorge between hills, like Stowe valley without its cottages or woods, and to pass, down near the sea, a silent mill. On Sundays it is always shut up and the people go elsewhere to sleep. Often as I have passed the all-but-ruined hut, I have thought of the psalm wherein mention is made of the ‘thing which walketh in darkness and the demon of the noon’. That day the sky was silent with heat and the whole scene was so lonely that hardly God was there; when all at once a swift, brown, rough shape started up among the gorsebushes and rushed or glided towards the stream. I felt myself fush and then grow pale; but remembering St Thomas’s word that every spirit must crouch to the Sign, I made it in the air and rode as fast as I could urge the mare towards it. -

The Bees and Wasps of Marsland Nature Reserve
The Bees and Wasps of Marsland Nature Reserve Mason wasp Invertebrate survey and habitat evaluation Patrick Saunders [email protected] http://kernowecology.co.uk 1 Introduction This document consists of habitat evaluation and management recommendations for Bees and Wasps (Aculeate hymenoptera) for the Devon Wildlife Trust Nature Reserve Marsland mouth. The survey and report was commissioned by DWT Reserve warden. Marsland Nature reserve description (Pilkington & Threlkeld 2012) • The reserve comprises 212 hectares, of which 186 hectares occurs in the Marsland Valley and 26 hectares in the Welcombe Valley. The site was designated a SSSI in 1952. In addition the reserve includes an unknown acreage of foreshore north of Welcombe Mouth for 4 kilometres, extending beyond South Hole Farm (SS219201). The boundary of the reserve is approximately 18 miles long and is very complex, mainly through following the seven separate tributary streams. The reserve is freehold owned by Devon Wildlife Trust • The primary interest of the reserve is as an example of a north Devon/Cornwall coombe valley with a variety of slopes, soil types and aspects and coastal area that gives rise to a similar diversity of habitats. The most important of these are the extensive areas of relatively pure oak woodland and oak coppice, the maritime grassland and grass heath and the alder woodland and wet flushes in the valley bottoms. • There is approximately 36h of grassland, 130h of woodland, 43h of coastal habitat and 1h of open water. • The reserve also lies within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty with the Marsland Valley being highly representative of an unspoilt coastal coombe habitat. -
