  • News Release
    News Release 22 May 2015 Waterfront Wishlist For many property buyers, there is one non-negotiable item on their wishlist – they have to be on or near the water’s edge. The sound, sight and smell of the coast is something that has drawn people for centuries and it’s made waterfront property highly prized around the coastline…with the premium to match. The most basic choice is the one between coast and estuary. The sandy beach, with views that seem to show the curvature of the earth, versus the daily ebb and flow of an estuary, with its promise of a ‘Swallows and Amazon’ lifestyle. The exact location is often narrowed down by the buyer’s passions and those of their family: Surfing or boating, sand or pebbles, a feeling of remoteness or the bustle of a coastal town. The south coast is a paradise for yachting and dingy sailing enthusiasts with its sheltered rivers and marinas. Salcombe and East Portlemouth, Dartmouth and Kingswear, Topsham, Newton Ferrers and Noss Mayo, Fowey, St Mawes and The Helford Passage – just a few of the areas that are a magnet for those who want a home with easy access to a good mooring and a community of fellow boat- lovers. For surfing, the more exposed North Coast beaches are much in demand. Mawgan Porth, Porthleven and Polzeath are popular for surfers from all over the country with access to some of the UK’s best surfing breaks. St Ives and Padstow are also popular destinations; St Ives has a thriving artistic community – it’s home to the Cornish arm of the Tate – and Padstow has established itself as a foodie mecca.

  • Offshore Spread and Toxic Effects of Detergents Sprayed on Shores
    CHAPTER 6 OFFSHORE SPREAD AND TOXIC EFFECTS OF DETERGENTS SPRAYED ON SHORES The shore surveys reported in the previous chapter have shown that detergent cleansing of rocks and sands causes extensive damage to, and often total destruction of, the populations of intertidal plants and animals in and immediately adjacent to areas of intensive spraying. There was also evidence that, as a result of movements of toxic water, organisms living a quarter of a mile or more from the area of spraying may be damaged or killed .. It seemed important therefore to investigate in greater detail the patterns of flow of shore-originating polluted water under different conditions of wind and tide; the concentration and persistence of the component deter• gent fractions; and their possible effects on organisms living in the off• shore waters. The investigations were undertaken during the month of April by teams working mainly in the Porthleven (South Cornwall) area. The teams, comprising shore-based parties and underwater divers, were aided by a ship survey (R.V. 'Sarsia' inshore stations A-M of 13 April, see Fig. 19) which included Agassiz-trawl sampling of the offshore benthic fauna. Laboratory measurements were made of the concentration of the component fractions of detergents present in the area of long-shore and offshore spread of the detergent-charged water. Oil reached PORTHLEVENon 25 March in considerable quantities during a period of spring tides and onshore winds so that in some places it was distributed well above the high-water mark. Very large amounts of deter• gent were subsequently used to combat the oil.

  • Cornwall Council
    Cornwall Council Preliminary Flood Risk Assessment ANNEX 5 – Chronology of Major Flood Events in Cornwall June 2011 1800 – 1899 A storm caused coastal flooding affecting a number of communities along the south coast on 19-20 January 1817. Polperro harbour was destroyed by this storm and Looe was badly damaged. Truro suffered from numerous flooding events during the 1800s (1811, 1815, 1818, 1838, 1841, 1844, 1846, 1848 (twice), 1869, 1875, 1880, 1882 (twice), 1885, 1894 and 1899). These were usually associated with high river flows coinciding with high tides. Known as the Great Flood of 16 July 1847, due to an intense rainstorm event on Davidstow Moor water collected in the valley and forced a passage of water down the Camel and Inney. Bodmin - Dunmere Valley and the whole area below Dunmere Hill was flooded by the River Camel. Dunmere Bridge was washed away as was the new 40 feet (12 m) high railway bridge. At St. Breward, bridges from Gam Bridge to Dunmere were washed away by a wall of water 12 to 18 feet (3.5-5.5 m) above normal along the River Camel. The devastating floods that swept down from Davidstow Moor washed away all but two of the bridges along the River Camel - Wadebridge and Helland being the only survivors. Serious flooding occurred in Par and St Blazey in November 1852. November 1875 saw heavy rain resulting in serious flooding in Bude, Camelford, Polmorla, Hayle, St Just, Penzance and Truro. Extreme rainfall in October 1880 resulted in serious flooding in both Bodmin and Truro. High tides at the end of September and early October 1882 resulted in flooding in Boscastle, Truro, Wadebridge and Padstow.
