A superb, rare opportunity to acquire a sensationally situated semi-detached 3 bedroomed coastal residence with garage, parking and well stocked garden positioned close to a magnificent sandy beach, enjoying breathtaking 180° views out to sea and along miles of coastline. Currently run as a successful holiday letting investment but would make an ideal secure second home or bolthole. Likely to attract a great deal of initial interest and as a such an early viewing is highly recommended. 2 Ref: LCAA6367 SUMMARY OF ACCOMMODATION Ground Floor: conservatory (17’1” x 7’7”), kitchen/breakfast room (24’2” x 11’10” max), rear lobby, shower room, large sitting room.

Broad brick paviour terrace, further area of steep lawned garden to the rear. Garage (17’3” x 10’9”). DESCRIPTION Believed to have been built circa 1930, Uplands occupies an exceptional, slightly elevated south, south west facing setting commanding sensational views over dune land to the beach, along the coastline, out to sea and across Mounts Bay to the Penwith Peninsula beyond. Chy-an-Dour Road is a long established and highly regarded private road set back from the beach which is within a few minutes’ walk of the property. The surrounding area is renowned for its beautiful sandy beaches, countryside and picturesque coastline much of which is in the ownership of the National Trust. There is a local store/sub post office, public house, renowned golf course and regular bus service at Praa Sands with, nearby, the market towns of Helston and Penzance both of which offer an excellent range of shopping, schooling, commercial and leisure facilities. A mail line rail link from Penzance leads to London (Paddington) – journey time approximately 5 hours; the A30 trunk road is within a few minutes’ driving distance and which provides rapid and easy access around and out of county, including to Newquay Airport at St Mawgan which now provides regular domestic flights to and from Gatwick Airport amongst other destinations. Praa Sands is, itself, a beautiful broad expanse of sandy beach boarded to the east and west by a dramatic coastline at Rinsey Head and Hoe Point, beyond which the South West Coast Path leads to Porthleven, Kenneggy Sands, Prussia Cove and Perran Sands etc. Situated towards the end of Chy-an-Dour Road the right hand side of the garden is a garage with area parking and front.

  • Marazion to Porthleven
    Pure Cornwall’s favourite South West Coastal walk to Porthleven MARAZION TO PORTHLEVEN Length: 11 miles (17km) Grading: Moderate to strenuous Much of this walk through an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty offers fantastic views of Mounts Bay and the magical island and castle of St Michael’s Mount. Fairly easy, level walking allows time to enjoy the views, until the Path begins to narrow and rollercoaster over the cliffs up to and beyond Praa Sands. The stretch on the approach to the pretty fishing village of Porthleven is designated a Site of Special Scientific Interest. Highlights along the path: The ancient market town of Marazion, with its very active community of painters and potters. There has been a settlement here since 308BC and the town claims to be the oldest in Britain, and could be the settlement known to the Romans as Ictis. Views of St Michael’s Mount. Once a Benedictine Priory, a fortress and tin mining port, it can be accessed by a causeway at low tide or a ferry. Perranuthnoe: this fairly undeveloped village, which may actually date back to Roman times, has an interesting church dedicated to St. Piran, the patron saint of Cornwall. Look out for the Norman font and Norman stone heads surrounding the doorway. After a rest on the sandy beach, you may also want to pay a visit to the Victoria Inn which is reputed to be the oldest recorded inn in Cornwall, dating back to the 12th century. Prussia Cove: the headquarters of the famous smuggler John Carter and now the base for the masterclasses of the International Musician’s Seminar.

    Coastal tufa and speleothems of Prussia and Stackhouse coves, South-West Cornwall COASTAL TUFA AND SPELEOTHEMS OF PRUSSIA AND STACKHOUSE COVES , SOUTH -W EST CORNWALL F.M.P. H OWI E 1 AND P.J. E ALE Y 2 Howie, F.M.P. and Ealey, P.J. 2011. Coastal tufa and speleothems of Prussia and Stackhouse coves, south-west Cornwall. Geoscience in South-West England , 12 , 278-287. Within Mount’s Bay on the South-West coast of Cornwall, Late Quaternary marine transgressions have substantially incised faulted Late Palaeozoic sedimentary and intrusive rocks to produce a series of coves, zawns (geos) and littoral caves. Prussia and Stackhouse coves exhibit particularly good evidence for at least two former sea-level stands. Fault-controlled caves, cliff-top springs and man-made modifications, dating back to at least the late 18th Century, have produced a distinctive suite of tufa and speleothem deposits. Flowstones and coralloids, only identified in Stackhouse Cove, can be dated to the historic period. Tufa deposition predates the speleothems and the final stages of the postglacial sea level rise and has continued into the historic period. Analyses were undertaken on tufa and speleothem samples, which included coralloids, using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive spectrometry (EDS) and powder X-Ray diffraction (XRD). The analyses revealed tufas mainly composed of calcite and coralloids, associated with biofilms, containing monohydrocalcite and gypsum. 1 29 Pendarves Road, Penzance, Cornwall, TR18 2AJ, U.K. 2 8 Minster Fields, Manaccan, Helston, Cornwall, TR12 6JG.

Lady Vivian had intimated that she desired to relinguish the Presidency and Lady Vyvyan was elected in her place. The Honorary Treasurer and the Joint Honorary Secretaries were re-elected en bloc. Pursuant to Rule 6, Lady Vyvyan and Major Williams retired from the Executive Committee, Lady Vivian and Mr. Polwhele being elected to fill the vacancies. Miss Waltpn Evans was elected an additional member of the Committee and the name of Mr. J. Melrose Macmillan was further proposed and, as he was not present, it was agreed that he be asked if he would be willing to serve. This he subsequently agreed to do. The Chairman, in moving the adoption of the Annual Report for 1933 and the Treasurer's Account, expressed pleasure at the satisfactory progress of the Society during the year. Members were reminded that the Secretaries had acquired a stock of an admirable Summary of the Wild Birds Protection Acts, compiled by the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds. These are available to any member at the cost price of sixpence a copy. Several Members present volunteered to take part in the Spring Migration Scheme under the auspices of the Western Morning News, referred to on page 3 of the Annual 2 Report of 1933.

  • Praa Sands - a Realistic Approach to Geological Conservation of a Cornish Quaternary Coastal Section
    Note of a poster display at the Annual Conference of the Ussher Society, January 1999 PRAA SANDS - A REALISTIC APPROACH TO GEOLOGICAL CONSERVATION OF A CORNISH QUATERNARY COASTAL SECTION P. J. EALEY Ealey, P.J. 1999. Praa Sands — a realistic approach to geological conservation of a Cornish Quaternary coastal section. Geoscience in south—west England, 9, 374-378. The mile long coastal section at Praa (formerly Prah) Sands is one of the most complete Quaternary sequences in West Cornwall. Subject to severe coastal erosion and beach sand mobility, the quality and extent of exposures continually vary. Approved in 1995 as a Cornwall Regionally Important Geological / Geomorphological Site (RIGS), a long-term monitoring exercise was initiated with the aim of providing a permanent three-dimensional record of the stratigraphical relationships among the various units, including possible multiple raised beaches, a complex head sequence, Holocene peat and coastal dunes. The results to date suggest that in the westernmost section the raised beach deposits contain at least two distinct stratigraphic beach units, one of which appears on the basis of ESR dating to be the oldest yet recognised in Cornwall. The well known palaeosol, Reid's Palaeolithic Floor, was observed in 1995/96 to be associated with a marked erosion surface, sub-dividing the Praa Sands Clay Member of Scourse (1996) into two lithostratigraphic units, comprising an upper complex soil association and an underlying low-lying basinal deposit. The head farther east is derived from two different sources, clearly expressed in the topography. The overlying Holocene radiocarbon dated peat is underlain by thin hitherto unrecognised and presumably undated deposits.
