Lizard Geology Field Trip
Malvern U3A Geology Group LIZARD FIELD TRIP Led by Dr Nick Chidlaw 11th to 14th April 2013 The origin of the Lizard Complex The Lizard consists of oceanic components that have been thrust faulted (obducted) over younger rocks. The context would have been a small rift basin similar to the Red Sea or Gulf of California and was formed at the same time as the development of the SW England passive margin during the Early Devonian. This was terminated by the onset of convergence between two plates with partial ‘obduction’ achieved by the Upper Devonian. The Lizard now contains a suite of rocks from the upper surface consisting of sediments, and below them pillow lavas, sheeted dykes and gabbros merging into layered gabbro followed by ultrabasic rocks of peridotite representing the crust down to, and including, the mantle. Such sequences of rocks are known as an ophiolite complex and the Lizard is one of the best examples in Britain.

SOUTH WEST Newquay Beach Newquay, Facing the Atlantic Ocean
SOUTH WEST Newquay Beach Newquay, facing the Atlantic Ocean on the North Cornwall Coast, is the largest resort in Cornwall. There are many different beaches to choose from including: Towan Beach, Fistral Beach, Lusty Glaze, Holywell Bay and Crantock. Reachable by a stiff walk from the village of West Pentire, is Porth Joke, also known as Polly Joke, a delightful suntrap of a beach, surrounded by low cliffs, some with sea caves, unspoilt and popular with families. A stream runs down the valley, and open fields and low dunes lead right onto the head of the beach. The beach is popular with body boarders. Often cattle from the nearby Kelseys, an ancient area of springy turfed grassland, rich in wildflowers, can be found drinking from the stream. Beyond the headland is Holywell Bay arguably one of the most beautiful beaches in Cornwall, backed by sand dunes framed by the Gull Rocks off shore. Reachable by a 15 minute walk from the Car Park. It is a nice walk west along the Coast to Penhale Point, with superb views across Perran Bay, with Perranporth in the middle distance. Nearest Travelodge: Stay at the St Austell Travelodge, Pentewan Road, St Austell, Cornwall, PL25 5BU from as little as £29 per night, best deals can be found online at www.travelodge.co.uk Clifton Suspension Bridge- Bristol The Clifton Suspension Bridge, is the symbol of the city of Bristol.

LONDON ELLIOT STOCK, 62, PATERNOSTER ROW, E.C. 1893. PREFACE, THIS collection of traditionary lore connected with the Holy Wells, Rivers, Springs, and Lakes of England is the first systematic attempt made. It has been said there is no book in any language which treats of Holy Wells, except in a most fragmentary and discursive manner. It is hoped, therefore, that this may prove the foundation of an exhaustive work, at some future date, by a more competent hand. The subject is almost inexhaustible, and, at the same time, a most interesting one. There is probably no superstition of bygone days that has held the minds of men more tenaciously than that of well-worship in its broadest sense, "a worship simple and more dignified than a senseless crouching before idols." An honest endeavour has been made to render the work as accurate as possible, and to give the source of each account, where such could be ascertained. -

Coverack Walk
This walk description is from happyhiker.co.uk Coverack to Kennack Sands Starting point and OS Grid reference Coverack Harbour (SW 785182) Ordnance Survey map OS Explorer 103 – The Lizard - Falmouth and Helston Distance 8.3 miles Traffic light rating Introduction: This walk is from Coverack, a typical Cornish fishing village with an attractive harbour and beach on the eastern side of the Lizard peninsula, to Kennack Sands. Kennack Sands are an important geological site and part of the Lizard National Nature Reserve. They have been declared a Site of Special Scientific Interest. There is also an opportunity to see the Terence Coventry sculpture park if you have time but be warned, you are likely to spend longer there than you expect as it is fascinating. Parking is “on street” in Coverack but this is limited and the bulk of the parking spaces are on the northern approach to the village on the B3293, where there is an “honesty box”. There is also a pay and display car park and toilets next to it. There is also a small “honesty box” car park to the rear of the Paris Hotel (by the harbour) but chances of there being space are slim. The bar at the Paris Hotel (names after a ship which ran aground in the 19th century) provides for welcome refreshment at the end of the walk and there are other alternatives in the village. Some of this walk takes place on roads but these are quiet lanes with little traffic. Overall, this is an easy walk. There are just a couple of steepish climbs from two coves and for this reason, I have awarded the amber traffic light. -

A Poetics of Uncertainty: a Chorographic Survey of the Life of John Trevisa and the Site of Glasney College, Cornwall, Mediated Through Locative Arts Practice
VAL DIGGLE: A POETICS OF UNCERTAINTY A poetics of uncertainty: a chorographic survey of the life of John Trevisa and the site of Glasney College, Cornwall, mediated through locative arts practice By Valerie Ann Diggle Page 1 VAL DIGGLE: A POETICS OF UNCERTAINTY VAL DIGGLE: A POETICS OF UNCERTAINTY A poetics of uncertainty: a chorographic survey of the life of John Trevisa and the site of Glasney College, Cornwall, mediated through locative arts practice By Valerie Ann Diggle Thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) University of the Arts London Falmouth University October 2017 Page 2 Page 3 VAL DIGGLE: A POETICS OF UNCERTAINTY VAL DIGGLE: A POETICS OF UNCERTAINTY A poetics of uncertainty: a chorographic survey of the life of John Trevisa and the site of Glasney College, Penryn, Cornwall, mediated through locative arts practice Connections between the medieval Cornishman and translator John Trevisa (1342-1402) and Glasney College in Cornwall are explored in this thesis to create a deep map about the figure and the site, articulated in a series of micro-narratives or anecdotae. The research combines book-based strategies and performative encounters with people and places, to build a rich, chorographic survey described in images, sound files, objects and texts. A key research problem – how to express the forensic fingerprint of that which is invisible in the historic record – is described as a poetics of uncertainty, a speculative response to information that teeters on the brink of what can be reliably known. This poetics combines multi-modal writing to communicate events in the life of the research, auto-ethnographically, from the point of view of an artist working in the academy.
