Photographs Page 3 Summary The Mid Cornwall Moors SSSI is notified under section 28C of the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 (as amended). The site supports a diverse mosaic of semi-natural habitats, including heaths, fens, grasslands, woodlands, scrub and species-rich hedgerows, with ponds and waterways. It is of special interest for the following nationally important features that occur within and are supported by the wider habitat mosaic: • wet and dry lowland heathland; • lowland fens (including habitats often referred to as mires, swamps and bogs); • wet and dry broad-leaved woodlands; • species-rich neutral grasslands; • an assemblage of nationally rare and nationally scarce flowering plants and ferns; • populations of Cornish eyebright Euphrasia vigursii, coral-necklace Illecebrum verticillatum, chamomile Chamaemelum nobile, lesser butterfly-orchid Platanthera bifolia, chaffweed Centunculus minimus, lesser water-plantain Baldellia ranunculoides and allseed Radiola linoides; • marsh fritillary butterfly Euphydryas aurinia; • assemblage of invertebrates chiefly associated with scrub heath-moorland; • populations of the water beetle Hydrochus nitidicollis, the mud snail Omphiscola glabra and the slender amber snail Oxyloma sarsii; • breeding willow tit Poecile montanus; and • geological features that demonstrate the mineralisation which occurs at the latest stage of granitic emplacement. Parts of the previously notified Goss and Tregoss Moors SSSI, Breney Common SSSI and Red Moor SSSI are not considered to be of special interest. Accordingly, these areas are proposed for denotification under Section 28D of the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981, as inserted by Schedule 9 to the Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000. Page 4 1.

Tregoss Crossing Car Park to Belowda – 0.85 miles Set off slightly N of E on the path alongside the old A30. After 135 yards go R and L on a properly made path, slightly N of E, through a horse stile and continue with hedge and old A30 to your L and scrub and the Newquay to Par railway to your R. At 580 yards, at 96592/61034, with a kissing gate to a path to Tregoss to your R, go L across a small wooden bridge over a stream. Cross the old A30 with care to a Public Footpath sign and 4 steps down to a fairly high wooden stile (beware barbed wire) to marshy moorland. An obvious (most of the way) path crosses this stretch of marshy moorland, initially overall roughly NNE, then overall roughly N, dabs of yellow paint generally marking the way. This path is classified by Cornwall Council as ‘silver’ but actually merits a rating of less then bronze. At 625 yards cross a tiny clapper bridge, then boggy tussocks for a short way. At 655 yards you are veering slightly away from a barbed wire fence to your R. At 695 yards cross another small clapper with an iron railing to more boggy ground. Continue to a low granite stile leading to wooden duck-boards to some slightly firmer ground.

Davies National Rivers Authority Environmental Protection Manager South West R egion ANNUAL CLASSIFICATION OF RIVER WATER QUALITY 1992: NUMBERS OF SAMPLES EXCEEDING TOE QUALITY STANDARD - FWS/93/012 This report shows the number of samples taken and the frequency with which individual determinand values failed to comply with National Water Council river classification standards, at routinely monitored river sites during the 1992 classification period. Compliance was assessed at all sites against the quality criterion for each determinand relevant to the River Water Quality Objective (RQO) of that site. The criterion are shown in Table 1. A dashed line in the schedule indicates no samples failed to comply. This report should be read in conjunction with Water Quality Technical note FWS/93/005, entitled: River Water Quality 1991, Classification by Determinand? where for each site the classification for each individual determinand is given, together with relevant statistics. The results are grouped in catchments for easy reference, commencing with the most south easterly catchments in the region and progressing sequentially around the coast to the most north easterly catchment.
