A unique collection of beautifully designed family homes, providing a relaxed and contemporary coastal lifestyle. Created to fulfil all of the demands of the 21st Century, Crantock Vale offers a subtle blend of traditional style and elegance. This stunning development takes full advantage of the glorious natural landscape. Crantock Beach Crantock Brochure design One v6 (for pdf only)_Layout 1 22/02/2012 11:30 Page 2 Crantock is a quintessential Cornish village with quaint thatched cottages, natural stone walls, an ancient church, tea rooms, a Post Office and a couple of warm and welcoming pubs. The peace of rural Crantock is a world apart from cosmopolitan Truro, the county's only city and the primary local destination for business, shopping and leisure. Surrounded by rolling fields in a region largely protected by the National Trust, the village is an easy amble away from the wide golden sands of Crantock Beach. It’s here that the River Gannel meets the Atlantic Ocean in a sheltered spot between the headlands of East and West Pentire. In the summer months catch the ferry across the estuary to visit the renowned Fern Pit Café for fresh caught lobster and crab or an indulgent cream tea. As the tide slowly ebbs, the rolling expanse of sand collects pools of water that warm in the sunshine - a haven for small children and an WELCOME TO CRANTOCK adventure playground for us all. Crantock Village Crantock Brochure design One v6 (for pdf only)_Layout 1 22/02/2012 11:31 Page 4 The development site lies on the southern fringe of the historic village of Crantock with an elevated position enjoying uninterrupted views across the valley and rolling fields to the distant spire of St. Cubert Parish Church. The individually designed homes use a palette of traditional external finishes to reflect the regional character with local vernacular materials and Cornish garden walling. The exteriors belie contemporary and spacious interiors, arranged to maximise the natural daylight and designed to enjoy outward views of the glorious rural landscape. MODERN CORNISH HOMES With ground level under-floor heating, hot water fuelled by air source heat pumps and high performance insulation throughout, the buildings exceed current legislation making them warm, welcoming, comfortable, and very efficient ‘life-time’ family homes. We are extremely pleased with the resultant design, arrangement and quality of workmanship that will create a very special development.

Building on the success of Acorn Blue, ‘Acorn Homes’ was launched and offers a range of houses and apartments designed for today’s discerning home owner. Following the same design led ethos applied to our developments in London and more recently throughout England, Acorn Homes actively supports the rediscovery of some of the most picturesque towns and villages in the South West through sensitive architecture and conversions. An Acorn Homes property will provide a uniquely individual home distinguished by its location, specification and contemporary design to meet the demands of the modern buyer.

    Let’s explore St Carantoc You will need Themes Distance Good shoes or boots for walking Holy Well, Celtic saints, church, 3km or 1.9 miles. This pilgrimage on rough paths, a drink and a Cornish history, estuary wildlife, is a fairly level walk that takes snack, a camera on a phone. shipbuilding, rock stacking. in a variety of habitats from sand dunes to farmland to road walking. Saint Carantoc was a 5th century saint who founded a monastery in Cornwall where the village of Crantock can be found. Start at the the car park behind Crantock Beach. Head through the gate and up the steps, turning left at the top and following the coast path northwards. The path bends round to the right with the River Gannel now below you to your left. Follow this path along the ridge, through the meadows and woodland. You’ll see the pits of ancient quarries amongst the trees and the Gannel poetry bench. St carantoc Micro-pilgrimage 1 The Legend of Saint Carantoc Saint Carantoc travelled extensively and as well as being a celebrated saint here, he is also remembered in Wales, Ireland, England and Brittany. He’s also one of the few saints whose life is mentioned in connection with King Arthur! The legend is that Carantoc had lost his portable Altar (a special stone which the Celtic saints would use to celebrate communion on while travelling or on pilgrimage) and that Arthur knew where it was but wouldn’t tell Carantoc until he helped him with a troublesome dragon. Carantoc knelt in prayer to God before entering the dragon’s lair, whereupon he placed his priest’s stole around the dragon’s neck and lead it from the cave like a puppy.

The survey comprised 954 sites covering 4241 km of river and 29 km of canal, and was completed in two years: 502 sites were surveyed during 1990 and 449 in 1991. Two sites were not surveyed. Twenty-two key sites were visited in both years, to assess annual changes. The survey mirrored the routine chemical monitoring programme, but-included additional sites so that all reaches which had been assigned River Quality Objectives were included. Habitat features were mapped at each site using standard symbols based on the NCC river corridor survey methods. These maps are to help interpret changes in the biota in subsequent years, and to provide data for conservation assessment. Photographs ‘were taken at every site.
