    PDZ: 1 Rame Head to Pencarrow Head Management Area 01 Management Area 02 Management Area 03 Aerial view of Polperro Rame Head to Pencarrow Head This section of coast generally faces south or south west. It mainly comprises hard, rocky cliffs fronted by shore platforms, sand/shingle beaches and incised valleys with streams discharging to the coast. The largest beach is Long Sand at Whitsand Bay, with a few smaller pocket beaches including Millendreath Beach and Seaton Beach. Tidal inlets exist at Seaton, Looe and Polperro. Commercial interests other than tourism and recreation in the area are the commercial fishing fleet at Looe, and agriculture along the cliff top. This is a relatively undeveloped rural and agricultural part of the Cornish coast comprised mainly of grassland and arable land, with some woodland. This area is valued for its costal habitats, rare plants, historic sites and important geomorphological processes.

    Rambles Beyond Railways or, Notes in Cornwall taken A-Foot. By Wilkie Collins 1 DEDICATED TO THE COMPANION OF MY WALK THROUGH CORNWALL, HENRY C. BRANDLING. 2 RAMBLES BEYOND RAILWAYS. I. A LETTER OF INTRODUCTION. DEAR READER, When any friend of yours or mine, in whose fortunes we take an interest, is about to start on his travels, we smooth his way for him as well as we can, by giving him a letter of introduction to such connexions of ours as he may find on his line of route. We bespeak their favourable consideration for him by setting forth his good qualities in the best light possible; and then leave him to make his own way by his own merit--satisfied that we have done enough in procuring him a welcome under our friend's roof, and giving him at the outset a claim to our friend's estimation. Will you allow me, reader (if our previous acquaintance authorizes me to take such a liberty), to follow the custom to which I have just adverted; and to introduce to your notice this Book, as a friend of mine setting forth on his travels, in whose well-being I feel a very lively interest. He is neither so bulky nor so distinguished a person as some of the predecessors of his race, who may have sought your attention in years gone by, under the name of "Quarto," and in magnificent clothing 3 of Morocco and Gold. All that I can say for his outside is, that I have made it as neat as I can--having had him properly thumped into wearing his present coat of decent cloth, by the most competent book-tailor I could find.

Ceramics and Atlantic Connections: Late Roman and Early Medieval Imported Pottery on the Atlantic Seaboard. Roman and Late Antique Mediterranean Pottery 15. Archaeopress, Oxford: 13-24. http://www.archaeopress.com/ArchaeopressShop/Public/displayProductDetail.asp?id=%7B81BA28 D9-003C-46C6-B112-E71E062BD7EA%7D BRITAIN IN THE ATLANTIC: LATE ANTIQUE CERAMICS AND CONNECTIONS Maria Duggan, Newcastle University [email protected] SUMMARY Since the 1930s there has been a long history of research on imported Mediterranean pottery found at early medieval sites in Britain and Ireland. Nevertheless, it is clear that the limited amount of information available from other regions of the Atlantic seaboard has affected interpretations of this material, particularly influencing the models constructed for contact and exchange in the Atlantic – and between this region and the Mediterranean. This paper will summarise the history of this research in Britain, focusing on the search for Atlantic parallels for the British finds, and the use of Continental data – or its absence – in the formation of models for the transport of these wares. Recent research from the south of Devon will be discussed, specifically to consider the potential of new or reassessed data for re-evaluating connections between south-west Britain, the Atlantic and the Mediterranean. This article will highlight the potential of information emerging from the Atlantic region for new understandings of the complexity of exchange mechanisms operating along the western sea-lanes between the fifth and seventh centuries.
