Exclusive Escape to Cornwall & the Isles of Scilly Exclusive Escape to Cornwall & the Isles of Scilly 13th - 17th September 2021 (4 nights) Join us to explore this beautiful corner of England and to discover its exceptional gardens. Thanks to the warmth of the Gulf Stream, these gardens are home to some of the most exotic and unusual plants and trees in the British Isles. We stay at the Carbis Bay Hotel overlooking its own 25-acre beach and hop over to the Isles of Scilly for the day to visit Tresco Abbey Gardens. Monday 13th September 2021 Our tour commences at the Carbis Bay Hotel near St Ives (with a pick up from St Erth railway station available in the morning). We meet in the hotel lobby just after lunch and set out for our first garden visit. Thisdramatic, 3-acre garden clings to the cliff edge, overlooking Lamorna Cove. Its impressive steps and terrace are home to many exotic plants and give delightful views towards the sea. We will meet the owners and hear about how they developed this unique plot. We return to the hotel for dinner (included). Tuesday 14th September 2021 This morning we head due east to the Roseland peninsula, crossing the River Fal by ferry. On arrival we visit a Mediter- ranean-style garden with an emphasis on water, which is ever present. The cupola that stands in the centre of the garden gives uninterrupted views to St Anthony’s headland and lighthouse and is inspired by the Amalfi coast. We have morning coffee and a tour with the owners. We then visit a well-known Cornish garden, Glendurgan where we are treated to a private lunch with Charles Fox, garden designer and artist, at his home within the gardens. Afterwards, he will take us on a guided tour of the gardens, to learn how the Fox family developed this and other gardens in the area. We return to the hotel where your evening is at leisure. Wednesday 15th September 2021 Today, we take a 20-minute flight from Land’s End to the Isles of Scilly, nestling just 35-miles off the coast of Cornwall. We then take a boat to Tresco for a guided garden tour of Tresco Abbey Gardens. The garden was established by Augustus Smith in the 19th century around the ruins of a Benedictine Abbey. Today, it is home to plants from more than 80 countries from Brazil to New Zealand and Burma to South Africa. There is time for lunch and a look around the island before returning to the mainland by boat and plane. This evening we enjoy dinner in the hotel (included). Thursday 16th September 2021 Today we see three diverse gardens starting with an ancient tel: 01423 396506 email: [email protected] www.sisley.co.uk 11 Cornish estate that has been farmed and settled for more than 700 years. The gardens have mostly been laid out in the last 20 years by the current owner and incorporate the 18th-century walled garden, a new water feature sited in a gravel and palm garden, rockery, herbaceous beds, and a series of yew ‘rooms’. Then we make our way to Bonython Estate. We meet the owner and garden creator for a stroll through the walled garden with colour-themed herbaceous borders, the traditional potager garden and through the parkland to a series of small lakes and streams in a sheltered valley. A light lunch (included) will be served in the garden. In the afternoon we visit a fascinating private garden which has been inspired by the classic English gardens. Created by an artist and architect, this garden boasts many features, such as a footbridge, pergola, fountain garden and many sculptures. We return to the hotel for our final-night dinner (included). Friday 17th September 2021 This morning is at leisure to enjoy the super facilities of the hotel and its private beach. These include the C Bay Spa with its treatment rooms, hydrotherapy pool, sauna pod and the heated outdoor swimming pool.

  • Why Devolution Matters: the Case of Cornwall Yth on Ni A’N Le Ma – We Are of This Place
    Institute for Public Policy Research WHY DEVOLUTION MATTERS: THE CASE OF CORNWALL YTH ON NI A’N LE MA – WE ARE OF THIS PLACE Sarah Longlands and Anna Round March 2021 Available at: www.ippr.org/publication/why-devolution-matters-the-case-of- cornwall INTRODUCTION From Covid-19 to Brexit to long term climate change, the complexity of the challenges the UK now faces means that the centralised system of government at Whitehall is no longer fit for purpose. Without a renewed commitment to devolution for all of the nations and regions which make up the UK, the government will fail to meet its promises to build back better and level up. More seriously still, we face the prospect of a disunited kingdom. The UK is one of the most economically divided countries in the developed world; it is also the most centralised (CEJ 2018, Raikes and Giovannini 2019, McCann 2019, UK2070 2020). This is not a coincidence. Research shows that where you live in the UK determines your ability to live a “good life” (Johns et al 2020). However, it has been the metro mayors, local government, civil society and business which have proved most agile and responsive to the challenges and impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic. Similarly, while central government may try to claim the credit, the recovery will be led by those same organisations. They know their communities best and are already deploying their limited resources, creativity and collaborative capital to rebuild local economies, support those who are out of work, and co-ordinate the recovery of people and place.

    Cornwall and the Politics of Recognition Written by Simon Thompson This PDF is auto-generated for reference only. As such, it may contain some conversion errors and/or missing information. For all formal use please refer to the official version on the website, as linked below. Cornwall and the Politics of Recognition https://www.e-ir.info/2014/10/26/cornwall-and-the-politics-of-recognition/ SIMON THOMPSON, OCT 26 2014 I’m very interested in what’s called the politics of recognition. This phrase is used to describe a wide range of political phenomena in which individuals and groups of various kinds struggle to be recognized for their particular characteristics or identities or achievements. Some groups want to be recognized for being the same as others. So, for example, the American civil rights movement can be understood as a struggle by black Americans to be treated in the same way as all other American citizens. But other groups want recognition of their distinctiveness – of the fact that they are not like others. The recent announcement that Cornish people are to be granted minority status within the UK looks like a case of this kind. The announcement was made by the Council of Europe, a body which describes itself as ‘the continent’s leading human rights organisation’. Founded in 1949, its principal objective is to oversee the implementation of the European Convention on Human Rights, which the Council describes as ‘a treaty designed to protect human rights, democracy and the rule of law’. Of particular importance to the present case is the Framework Convention for the Protection of National Minorities, drawn up in 1995 (http://conventions.coe.int/Treaty/en/Treaties/html/157.htm).

PH has severe physical and learning disabilities and is without speech. He lacks capacity to decide for himself where to live. Since the age of four he has received accommodation and support at public expense. Until his majority in December 2004, he was living with foster parents in South Gloucestershire. Since then he has lived in two care homes in the Somerset area. There is no dispute about his entitlement to that support, initially under the Children Act 1989, and since his majority under the National Assistance Act 1948. The issue is: which authority should be responsible? 2. This depends, under sections 24(1) and (5) of the 1948 Act, on, where immediately before his placement in Somerset, he was “ordinarily resident”.

  • Bounded by Heritage and the Tamar: Cornwall As 'Almost an Island'
    Island Studies Journal, 15(1), 2020, 223-236 Bounded by heritage and the Tamar: Cornwall as ‘almost an island’ Philip Hayward University of Technology Sydney, Australia [email protected] (corresponding author) Christian Fleury University of Caen Normandy, France [email protected] Abstract: This article considers the manner in which the English county of Cornwall has been imagined and represented as an island in various contemporary contexts, drawing on the particular geographical insularity of the peninsular county and distinct aspects of its cultural heritage. It outlines the manner in which this rhetorical islandness has been deployed for tourism promotion and political purposes, discusses the value of such imagination for agencies promoting Cornwall as a distinct entity and deploys these discussions to a consideration of ‘almost- islandness’ within the framework of an expanded Island Studies field. Keywords: almost islands, Cornwall, Devon, islands, Lizard Peninsula, Tamar https://doi.org/10.24043/isj.98 • Received May 2019, accepted July 2019 © 2020—Institute of Island Studies, University of Prince Edward Island, Canada. Introduction Over the last decade Island Studies has both consolidated and diversified. Island Studies Journal, in particular, has increasingly focussed on islands as complex socio-cultural-economic entities within a global landscape increasingly affected by factors such as tourism, migration, demographic change and the all-encompassing impact of the Anthropocene. Islands, in this context, are increasingly perceived and analysed as nexuses (rather than as isolates). Other work in the field has broadened the focus from archetypal islands—i.e., parcels of land entirely surrounded by water—to a broad range of locales and phenomena that have island-like attributes.

  • Devon & Cornwall Police Secures Data with Commvault Simpana
    Devon & Cornwall Police Secures Data with CommVault Simpana Software October 28, 2008 - England's Largest Geographic Police Constabulary Selects CommVault Simpana Backup and Archive Software to Help Ensure Business Continuity and Maximize Information Availability - READING, Berkshire--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 28, 2008--CommVault (NASDAQ: CVLT): -- The Devon and Cornwall Constabulary, covering the largest geographical police area in England, has selected CommVault(R) Simpana(R) software to help adhere to strict compliance legislation and ensure 24x7 access to sensitive citizen and local authority data. -- The responsibility of two counties and a seasonal influx of visitors causes the population to swell from about 1.5 million people to 8 million during the summer months. As with any police force, there is a need for long-term, secure storage for highly sensitive and important information, all required 24 hours a day and 365 days a year. When combined with the additional need to adhere to regulations including the Data Protection Act and Freedom of Information requests, the efficient management and protection of data is critical. -- The Devon and Cornwall Constabulary is replacing its existing data protection infrastructure with CommVault software to gain a more flexible, scalable solution to help maximize business uptime and information availability, while streamlining the ability to manage and maintain its backup infrastructure. A review of its existing infrastructure showed that it could not cope with the existing data loads and management requirements, let alone the requirements of new projects such as new fingerprinting techniques and the associated dramatically increasing data loads. -- To overcome these challenges, the Constabulary will deploy Simpana software to minimize the number of products under management and therefore its administrative overhead.

  • Duchy of Cornwall Map #224.3 the Duchy Of
    Duchy of Cornwall Map #224.3 The Duchy of Cornwall map (ca. 1286) belongs to a series of Anglo-French early medieval mappae mundi that include the Munich Isidorian T-O map (1130, #205), the Psalter map (ca. 1262, #223), the Ebstorf map (ca. 1300, #224), the Hereford map (ca. 1300, #226), the Ramsey Abbey Higden map (ca. 1350, #232), the Aslake map (ca. 1360). The following description is excerpted from Dan Terkla’s “The Duchy of Cornwall Map Fragment (c. 1286)” in his A Critical Companion to English Mappae Mundi of the Twelfth and Thirteenth Centuries (2019), the latest critique of this often referenced medieval mappa mundi. 1 Duchy of Cornwall Map #224.3 According to Terkla the Duchy of Cornwall map is misleadingly named: in its current state it is neither a complete map, nor does it have any cartographical relation to the southwestern English county of Cornwall. The fragment is so labeled because it belongs to the Duchy of Cornwall, which was created as the first English duchy in 1337, when Edward III (1312-77) granted the title and what was then the earldom of Cornwall to his son, Edward of Woodstock (1330-76), the Black Prince. More precisely, then, the map belongs to the duke of Cornwall. Since 1337, the title has been held by the monarch's eldest son; the current duke is HRH The Prince of Wales - Prince Charles. Terkla states that the surviving Duchy fragment illustrates the talents of its maker (or makers), in the clarity and confidence of its fine Gothic textualis quadrata book script and in what we might call “the personalities of its fauna and 'monstrous peoples.” The fragment's attributes point to an artist familiar with monumental mappa mundi design, a knowledge of source texts, a scribe or scribes from a sophisticated urban scriptorium and an ambitious patron of high standing with an eye for spectacle and desire for self aggrandizement.

  • Our Plan for a Better Cornwall
    OUR PLAN FOR A BETTER CORNWALL CORNWALL COUNCIL ELECTIONS: 4TH MAY 2017 HOW WE WILL DELIVER A BETTER CORNWALL. By Conservative Group Leader Cllr John Keeling MBE Our Plan for a Better Cornwall After four years of indecision and incompetence from the Liberal Democrats and Independents, our county risks falling behind. These years of mismanagement, incompetence and inaction must stop and our plan for a better Cornwall will ensure that it does. Our Plan for a Better Cornwall will: Ensure that every resident gets value for money. We believe that the most important person in Cornwall is you, the taxpayer. But rather than focusing on ensuring that taxpayers are getting value for money from the services that they deserve, for the last four years we have seen financial mismanagement. That is why we will act. We will ensure that no more of your money is wasted on unworkable traffic schemes, over-optimistic bids for glory projects and lavish new offices. We will take decisions that will improve the efficiency of the Council by ensuring that more of the decisions and planning are done as locally as possible by our City, Town and Parish Councils or by neighbouring Councils working together. Ensure that residents get the care they need. We want to improve Adult Social Care in Cornwall so that we are caring for all those that are vulnerable. The council will receive over £40 million from the Government’s Better Care Fund and are levying the social care precept so that £146 million will be available by 2019/20 to spend on social care – we need to make best use of this money so we can provide the elderly and vulnerable with the support they need.
