They have not recorded since 2015 when their album “The Reason Why” was released, and prior to that “Safe and Sound” which was recorded back in 2013. CD sales are key to their fundraising success, some of the profits going to boost their “pink bucket” collections for Cornwall Hospice Care, but most in support of other local charitable causes.

  • This Walk Description Is from Happyhiker.Co.Uk Lizard Point

    This Walk Description Is from Happyhiker.Co.Uk Lizard Point

    This walk description is from happyhiker.co.uk Lizard Point Starting point and OS Grid reference Lizard village (SW 703126) Ordnance Survey map OS Explorer 103 - The Lizard – Falmouth and Helston Distance 6.2 miles Traffic light rating Introduction: This easy walk from Lizard (the village) takes in the old, very picturesque village Cadgwith with its thatched cottages and Lizard Point, the most southerly point on the British mainland. There are also various other interesting things to see. Lizard village itself is rather spoiled by its homage to tourism but it is a very useful start point partly because there is a large amount of parking (voluntary charge for charity) but mainly because in relation to the walk it is like the hub of a wheel with many footpaths as the spokes. This means that the walk is easily lengthened or shortened according to circumstances, although depending on which “spoke” you pick, you may miss some of the points of interest. The route described includes all the following: The Devils Frying Pan Church Cove Lizard Lifeboat Station Bass Point Bumble Rock Lizard Point Lighthouse Polpeor Cove and the old lifeboat station. In late spring/early summer, the cliff tops are a mass of wild flowers including the intriguingly name Hottentot Fig, a South African invader, which blankets the cliffs at Lizard Point. There is also the possibility of seeing a variety of sea and marine life. The open grassland to the NW of Lizard Point has been awarded Site of Special Scientific Interest due to the great variety of rare and wild flowers, best seen between spring and mid summer.

    Corpses, Coasts, and Carriages: Gothic Cornwall, 1840-1913

    Corpses, Coasts, and Carriages: Gothic Cornwall, 1840-1913 Submitted by Joan Passey to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English in September 2019 This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. Joan Passey Signature: ………………………………………………………….. Words: 91,425 1 Abstract While there are defined Irish, Welsh, and Scottish Gothic traditions, there has been a notable critical absence of a Cornish Gothic tradition, despite multiple canonical and less-canonical authors penning Gothic stories set in Cornwall throughout the long nineteenth century. This critical oversight is part of a longer tradition of eliding Cornwall from literary and cultural histories—even from those to which it has particular relevance, such as histories of the industrial revolution (in which its mining industry was a major contributor), and the birth of the tourist industry, which has shaped the county and its economy through to the present day. This thesis will rectify this gap in criticism to propose a Cornish Gothic tradition. It will investigate Gothic texts set in Cornwall in the long nineteenth century to establish a distinct and particular tradition entrenched in Cornwall’s own quest for particularity from other Celtic nations and English regions. It will demonstrate how the boom in Cornish Gothic texts was spurred by major changes occurring in the county in the period, including being the last county to be connected to the national rail network, the death of the mining industry, the birth of the tourist industry, large-scale maritime disaster on its coasts, and the resituating of the legendary King Arthur in Tintagel with the publication of Tennyson’s Idylls of the King.
