Boscrowan Farm David and Elizabeth Harris Boscrowan Farm Two award winning self catering holiday cottages set in the countryside, just outside Penzance, Cornwall. We aim to exceed expectations. We have two very special holiday homes: Peace and Plenty, a reversed level barn conversion overlooking the gardens which sleeps four and Ring and Thimble, a spacious romantic thatched cottage for two. Both cottages have woodburners, superbly equipped kitchens, supremely comfortable beds and great attention to every last detail. On arrival there are fresh flowers from the gardens in every room as well as a cream tea, a bottle of fresh apple juice from the Boscrowan orchard and much more! David and Elizabeth Harris Both originally from Cornwall, David and Elizabeth have been living at Boscrowan since 1999. As well as working tirelessly on the renovation and running of Boscrowan, David also works as an agronomist for a farmer’s co-operative and Elizabeth runs a successful soft furnishings company, finecurtains.co.uk, from a workroom on the farm. This passion is reflected in the cottages which are constantly being updated. Boscrowan has been a wonderful home to two daughters Jenny and Morwenna who, although now grown up, regularly return and help with duties such as preparing the cottages on changeover day. The Boscrowan animals are very much part of the Harris family too and bring great company and pleasure to many of the visitors, especially the youngest ones. In the fields and stables you will see Elizabeth and David’s two horses, Huckleberry and Gem. There is one cat – Molly who can often be seen basking in the sun in the cottage gardens. Nell the new collie arrived in May 2018, just 8 weeks old from a sheep farm on the outskirts of Bodmin Moor. A very friendly soul who loves people and keeps an ear to the ground for the sound of the gate latch and her self imposed duty to welcome!

  • Ludgvan Neighbourhood Plan Local Evidence Report January 2018
    Ludgvan Neighbourhood Plan Local Evidence Report January 2018 Introduction Neighbourhood planning policy and proposals need to be based on a proper understanding of the place they relate to, if it they are to be relevant, realistic and to address local issues effectively. It is important that our Neighbourhood Plan is based on robust information and analysis of the local area; this is called the evidence base. Unless policy is based on firm evidence and proper community engagement, then it is more likely to reflect the assumptions and prejudices of those writing it than to reflect the needs of the wider area and community. This Local Evidence Report presents a topic by topic picture in facts, local opinions and aspirations of what the Parish of Ludgvan is all about in 2017/18, so as to provide the ‘evidence’ on which to base the development of the Ludgvan Neighbourhood Plan. We have used a variety of authoritative sources and recent survey material to put this Report together. To keep it relevant and accessible we have summarised information. Should the reader want more information or background we have provided links wherever possible to the source document. Inevitably we have not found all the information we sought. You are invited to contribute additional material to our evidence base. If you have any additional recent and relevant facts or can provide authoritative opinion about land use-related matters in Ludgvan Parish, please get in touch with the Parish Clerk at: [email protected] At the end of each topic section is a Key Messages box that includes messages discerned from evidence gathered and presented either in this report or the relevant Ludgvan Background Paper prepared by the NP Steering Group and available to view on the Ludgvan NP website1.

In keeping with Penzance’s wonderful location our theme this year is “Golowan – All at Sea” - a tongue in cheek invitation to celebrate our amazing maritime heritage, and reflect it in a blaze of nautical imagery. However, “All at Sea!” couldn’t be wider of the mark, as the focus of everyone has been to ensure that, while cherishing established traditions, new things are tried, new partnerships secured and Golowan goes from strength to strength. All the elements for a great weekend are here - the mid-summer torchlit procession, serpent dancing and fireworks, the manic Mock Mayor of the Quay ceremony, music and market stalls, parades… and so much more… Golowan’s Quay Fair offers all the fun of the fair on Battery Road from 21st – 25th June and – last, but not least – Golowan 2017 sees the return of the marquee in St Anthony’s Car Park where Big Tow Productions will host a range of events – including the Mock Mayor election.

  • ( 164 ) FIELD-NOTES from WEST CORNWALL. JAY {Garrulus
    ( 164 ) FIELD-NOTES FROM WEST CORNWALL. BY G. H. HARVEY. JAY {Garrulus glandarius rufitergum).-—Although fairly common in the east of the county, and even so far west as Truro, the Jay has occurred on very few occasions in the Penzance district. This is the more remarkable because there are many wooded valleys draining into Mount's Bay which seem well suited to its requirements. However, in the winter of 1923-24 there was quite an invasion on a small scale. The birds arrived about the end of October and the beginning of November, and between November and April I saw them in practically every woodland of any size in the neighbourhood. They were usually seen singly or in pairs, but I several times saw five or six together at Trewidden near Penzance, and once, on March 15th, 1924, a party of nine there. Although most of the birds disappeared in April, a few stayed into May, but none appear to have remained to breed. The last I saw were two at Tremenheere on April 30th, one at Trewidden on May 5th, and one at Trevaylor on the 23rd. BLUE-HEADED WAGTAIL (Motacilla f. flava.)—A pair of these birds have, for the second year in succession, nested at the Marazion Marsh, near Penzance. I saw a male there on April 19th, 1924, another on April 29th, and a pair on May 15th. As in last year, I could find no nest for some time, "but at length did so, on June 16th, when it contained six young about a week old.

The final section of the path was designated as a National Trail in The path originated as a route for Cornwall Coast Path Coastguard to walk from lighthouse to lighthouse patrolling for smugglers. They needed to be able to look down into every bay and Cornwall Coast Path as a result, the path closely hugs the coast providing excellent views Cornwall Coast Path rarely the most direct path between two points.
