BEST OF CORNWALL 2020 Marianne Stokes, née Priendlsberger 1855 - 1927 Lantern Light, 1888 Oil on canvas, 82.5 x 102 cm Penlee House Gallery & Museum Purchased by private treaty from Mr & Mrs Allan Amey with assistance from The Art Fund, The MLA/V&A Purchase Grant Fund and the Friends of Penlee A brief and incomplete history of ... art and artists in Cornwall By Andrea Breton Cornwall has always appealed to the creative type; a land of mists and megaliths, it combines a wide variety of landscape, from perfectly sanded coves to dramatic cliffs and breakers; bleak, haunted moors to lush vegetal valleys. There are picturesque harbours and grand country houses set in vast acreages. There are impressive landmarks from the past such as Tintagel Castle, St Michael’s Mount and more standing stones and Neolithic sites than you can shake a stick at. They exist happily alongside the present day futuristic domes of Eden, the stately grey bulk of Tate St Ives, old Mine chimneys (sensibly bestowed with World Heritage status) and the spoil heaps of the clay pits near St Austell. 35 BEST OF CORNWALL 2020 However there is more to Cornwall’s appeal than It was clear that luck landmarks. It is the geographical distance to the rest of was needed. Fortunately, the England; the quirk of geology which makes Cornwall Victorian age was coming somewhat longer than it is wide.

England Coast Path Stretch: Newquay to Penzance Report NQP 3: St Agnes Head to Gwithian
www.gov.uk/englandcoastpath England Coast Path Stretch: Newquay to Penzance Report NQP 3: St Agnes Head to Gwithian Part 3.1: Introduction Start Point: St Agnes Head (grid reference: SW 7028 5152) End Point: Gwithian (grid reference: SW 5795 4156) Relevant Maps: NQP 3a to NQP 3l 3.1.1 This is one of a series of linked but legally separate reports published by Natural England under section 51 of the National Parks and Access to the Countryside Act 1949, which make proposals to the Secretary of State for improved public access along and to this stretch of coast between Newquay and Penzance. 3.1.2 This report covers length NQP 3 of the stretch, which is the coast between St Agnes Head and Gwithian. It makes free-standing statutory proposals for this part of the stretch, and seeks approval for them by the Secretary of State in their own right under section 52 of the National Parks and Access to the Countryside Act 1949. 3.1.3 The report explains how we propose to implement the England Coast Path (“the trail”) on this part of the stretch, and details the likely consequences in terms of the wider ‘Coastal Margin’ that will be created if our proposals are approved by the Secretary of State. Our report also sets out: any proposals we think are necessary for restricting or excluding coastal access rights to address particular issues, in line with the powers in the legislation; and any proposed powers for the trail to be capable of being relocated on particular sections (“roll- back”), if this proves necessary in the future because of coastal change. -
Godrevy Cove
North Coast – West Cornwall GODREVY COVE This is stretch of beach at low water forms the northern end of the longest beach in Cornwall (5.5km) sweeping round St.Ives Bay to the Hayle Estuary. For most people the beach starts at the Red River and continues to the headland. Facing due west it has views of St.Ives and the Penwith Moors beyond. The sandy beach above high water mark Cove with steps to the beach. At high water there is only a small area of fine golden sand but at low water the beach stretches for over 700m, interspersed with rocky outcrops, to the Red River where it joins the beach of Gwithian. In winter, much of the sand can often be replaced by areas of shingle. The beach can be quite exposed both from any wind from a westerly direction and also the Atlantic swell. Immediately north of the sandy Cove there is an accessible rocky foreshore with patches of The Cove with the iconic Godrevy Island and Lighthouse beyond shingle which is worth exploring but care needs to be taken not to be caught by an incoming tide TR27 5ED - The access road to the National Trust car parks is 1km north of Gwithian on There is rescue/safety equipment and RNLI the B3301 coast road from Hayle to Portreath by the lifeguards are on duty at the Red River end of the bridge over the Red River. The main car parking area beach from mid May until the end of September. (capacity over 100 cars) is open all year, on the edge of the sand dunes, and, within a short walk to the beach along a fenced board-walk path. -
MA28 Policy Development Zone: PDZ10
Location reference: Black Cliff to Godrevy Point Management Area reference: MA28 Policy Development Zone: PDZ10 Cornwall and Isles of Scilly SMP2 Final Report Chapter 4 PDZ10 32 February 2011 DISCUSSION AND DETAILED POLICY DEVELOPMENT Erosion and flood risk mapping indicates very low risk (and no assets at risk) at Black Cliff so no intervention would be required. No active intervention is the preferred approach. This would allow natural processes to dominate, satisfying high level objectives for the SMP. It would also support the criteria and designated features of the Gwithian to Mexico Towans SSSI. There may some loss of dune front expected in response to sea level rise along the Mexico to Gwithian Towans frontage. Continued blow out development along the dune front in response to access points from the holiday parks is also likely. Whilst a non-interventional approach is preferred to accommodate the natural variability of this area and allow natural response to climate change impacts, the dunes are under pressure from existing development and infrastructure and from access through the dunes. The Cornwall Beach and Sand Dune Management Strategy concluded that some management of the dune system is required. A Managed Realignment policy is therefore proposed to support this management, and a specific Dune Management Plan should be produced to direct the delivery of this policy. Although the dunes are anticipated to undergo erosion and rollback by up to 60m by 2105, it is possible that sufficient contemporary sources of sand and sediment exist in the nearshore zone to keep pace with rising sea levels and prevent significant roll back of the dune line occurring, at least in the short to medium term. -

H.C.L. James 1 and P.J. Ealey 2
H.C.L. James and P.J. Ealey UPDATED INTERPRETATIONS OF LATE QUATERNARY SECTIONS IN WEST CORNWALL RESULTING FROM WINTER STORMS IN RECENT PAST H.C.L. JAMES 1 AND P. J. E ALEY 2 James, H.C.L. and Ealey, P.J. 2018. Updated interpretations of Late Quaternary sections in West Cornwall resulting from winter storms in recent past. Geoscience in South-West England, 14, 140–149. The unprecedented series of winter storms of 2013/2014 removed rock armour sea defences, cut new sections and scoured beach sands from the adjacent shore platforms as well as breaching of coastal defences, cliff falls and flooding of coastal areas.Quaternary coastal sections at Godrevy (SSSI) and Gunwalloe Fishing Cove have been revisited and a Holocene clay deposit at Kennack Sands is documented for the first time. The bedrock behind the Quaternary section at Godrevy, is increasingly being revealed following the winter storms with new exposuresof the fossil cliffat the northern and southern ends of this important Quaternary site and its landward configuration is shown to be of significant importance in the development of the section. It is argued that the cementation of the sandrock (aeolianite) prominent in Godrevy North, extended much further south to Godrevy Rocks prior to its current decalcified condition. Stratified slope sands and thinner slate-rich layers have been identified on the northern flank of the Magow Rocks immediately above the bedrock. These are either coeval with the “littoral” sands above the raised beach further north or older than both. At Gunwalloe Fishing Cove, the total collapse of a previously described Quaternary section to the north during the 2013/2014 storms has been compensated by the exposure of a new Quaternary section to the south, comprising raised beach, stratified colluvial slope sands and upper periglacial head. -

Tam Kernewek “ A bit of Cornish” Volume 32 Issue 4 Winter 2014 CORNWALL – MEXICO LINKS In October representatives of the Redruth—Real del Monte Twinning Association visited in Mexico for twelve days at the time of the 6th International Paste Festival. Many interesting events took place during their time there, and fascinating connections were made. Particularly significant connections were created between schools in the Redruth area and the schools in Real del Monte. Association secretary and Redruth Town councilor Deborah Reeve indicated that creating links of this kind was one of the aims of Twinning Association when it was formed at the beginning of this year. Prior to the visit to Mexico a connection had already been made between Treleigh Primary school and an equiva- lent school in Real del Monte. The delegation also carried with them letters of introduction from Illogan and St. Day & Carharrack primary schools and Cornwall College. Mrs. Reeve visited several schools while in Mexico and was overwhelmed by the enthusiasm of the local school children who immediately came forward with ideas, letters and e-mails to make the most of the links. Before returning home she was given a tour of the facilities of Magattzi School by head teacher David Ortiz Licona. Upon return to Redruth members of the Twinning Association met with Redruth School head teacher Craig Mar- tin and six children from the year 7 Spanish class. Letters from students at Magattzi were delivered and a commitment was made to begin this exciting connection. Ian Thomas (vice chair), Redruth School head teacher Craig Mar- tin, Deborah Reeve (secretary Redruth-Real del Monte Twinning Association), Manny Hernandez (chairman of the Twinning Asso- ciation) and year seven Spanish pupils celebrate the new link.
