CLACK'S GUIDE TO CORNWALL Digitized by the Internet Archive in 2011 with funding from University of Toronto http://www.archive.org/details/blacksguidetocorOOadam PhotochTOin Co., Ltd. LAUNCESTON. BLACK'S GUIDE TO CORNWALL EDITED BY A. R. HOPE MONCRIEFF TWENTY-SECOND EDITION WITH MAPS AND PLANS A. & C. BLACK, LTD. 4» 5 & 6 SOHO SQUARE, LONDON 1919 Twenty-second edition revised and brought up to datt by G. E. Mitton 1915 iw04 .i;[££nio, On^:; PREFACE In the present edition of our Guide to Cornwall greater importance has been given to the popular coast resorts, some of which are coming more and more into note both as summer and as winter havens. With these, as far as possible, we have connected the various points of interest most often visited on excursions from them, so that different sections will serve as small handbooks to Fowey, Falmouth, Penzance, the Lizard, the Land's End, Newquay, Tintagel, and other spots where strangers are most likely to take up their quarters. As usual, we have tried to make our pages both readable and practical, entering into the spirit of the scene without over-loading our descriptive outlines with too much detail, which, in the case of a longer stay at any place, could be sought in local guides and more elaborate works, duly referred to for the benefit of our readers. Our principle is that a guide-book for use by passing tourists may contain too many facts as well as too few, the latter fault, of course, the more unpardonable : our aim has been to avoid either extreme, with regard for proper proportion and the needs of the kind of reader chiefly kept in view. On one head, we have, perforce, failed to be as explicit as might be desired. Several Cornish mansions possess not only beautiful grounds, but valuable collections of paintings, antiquities, and other objects of attraction. Our endeavour has been to learn from the owners, or their agents, if, when, and how ntrangers will be made welcome, or at least tolerated, in inspection of such treasures. Some of our inquiries have viii GUIDE TO CORNWALL been most courteously met by the information that will be found in its proper place ; others, by significant silence ; while in certain cases it has been more or less distinctly intimated that the proprietors do not wish to encourage inconvenient sight-seers. Yet even when "no admission" is the rule, some slight local interest or introduction will often be found to pave the way for exceptional favour. The hotels, as usual, are roughly placed in the order of importance and expensiveness ; but in the case of pensions no such arrangement is attempted. Even "Guides." are liable to be led astray by human error; so here, as always, we shall be grateful for any suggestions of correction or amendment. For valuable assistance, in this way or in others, the Editor's thanks are already due to many friends and furtherers. Note to Twenty-second Edition. —The book has again been revised and as far as possible brought up to date. The attention of readers is called to the Itinerary of Cornwall roads (at the end), which should be useful to motorists as well as to cyclists. — CONTENTS PAGE Introduction ..... ,1 North Coast ....... 13 Bude—Boscastle—Tintagel.

Note. —Many of the golf clubs do not begin " season " rates until end of July ; almost all have special rates for Easter. HI INTRODUCTION The "Duchy of Cornwall," as this south-western appendix of En;^'laD(l loves to be styled, is a country of markedly individual characteristics, distinguishing it from all other parts of the kingdom. Many strangers crossing the Tamar, "over that fairy bridge of Brunei's, hung aloft between the blue of the river and the blue of the sky," are fain to fancy themselves in another country ; and as they advance, it is to find that impression deepened which gives a Cornish tour something of the interest of foreign travel. Truth to tell, this interest is mainly confined to the broken and wave-beaten coast-line, almost uniformly striking, and often magnificent, broken by frequent fishing havens that to more than one sense suggest the kind of picturesqueness looked for under a Mediterranean sky. Inland, the scenery, dear as it may be to those who have known it from childhood, is apt to affect the unfamiliar eye as dreary in its mono- tonous expanse of rough brown moors, swelling up into low ridges, scarred by mines and topped by smokeless engine-shafts to take the place of trees — " a most unclassi- cal Campagna, covered with the ruins of obscure industry." Even tiie dignity of height is wanting here. Brown Willy, the loftiest point in Cornwall, being under 1400 feet. Cornwall's jovial neighbours are in the way of asserting that it does not grow wcxjd enough to make a coffin.

    4.0 Appraisal of Special Interest

    4.0 APPRAISAL OF SPECIAL INTEREST 4.1 Character Areas Botallack The history and site of Botallack Manor is critical to an understanding of the history and development of the area. It stands at the gateway between the village and the Botallack mines, which underlay the wealth of the manor, and were the reason for the village’s growth. The mines are clearly visible from the manor, which significantly stands on raised ground above the valley to the south. Botallack Manor House remains the single most important building in the area (listed II*). Dated 1665, it may well be earlier in some parts and, indeed, is shown on 19th century maps as larger – there are still 17th century moulded archway stones to be found in the abandoned cottage enclosure south of the manor house. The adjoining long range to the north also has 17th century origins. The complex stands in a yard bounded by a well built wall of dressed stone that forms a strong line along the road. The later detached farm buildings slightly to the east are a good quality 18th/19th century group, and the whole collection points to the high early status of the site, but also to its relative decline from ‘manorial’ centre to just one of the many Boscawen holdings in the area from the early 19th century. To the south of Botallack Manor the village stretches away down the hill. On the skyline to the south is St Just, particularly prominent are the large Methodist chapel and the Church, and there is an optical illusion of Botallack and St Just having no countryside between them, perhaps symbolic of their historical relationship.

As part of the regular monitoring programme of the SAC, I and some volunteers from Cornwall Wildlife Trust (to whom I say a big thank you for all your efforts) came down to the Helford on the good boat EVA on the 17th July to see how the seagrass was getting on and to see if it had spread into the adjacent moorings. Although the weather was not perfect and the visibility not good, the team were able to carry out three transect swims measuring the percentage cover of the plants, makeup of the seabed and were also able to map the edges of the bed. Preliminary analysis of the data show that the seagrass is in good health and that the extent has not changed significantly from the previous survey. However, there is some evidence that the seagrass has spread slightly westwards and isolated clumps can now be found in and around the moorings. I hope that we will be able to repeat this study next and subsequent years and also include some more detailed work on both the health of the seagrass and a more accurate survey of the density and individual plant length of the grass on the Helford.
