Community consultations have emphasised the importance of our moorland environment to all who live and work here, and how much the landscape is valued by both local residents and visitors. The Local Landscape Character Assessment project describes what it is that evokes such strong passions and feelings for where we live, work and play and how important it is that this is preserved for future generations to enjoy.

  • Application on Behalf of Cornwall Council and Caradon Observatory for Bodmin Moor to Be Considered As an International Dark Sky Landscape
    1 Executive Summary Bodmin Moor is a special place. Amongst the many environmental designations ranging from the international to the local, Bodmin Moor forms part of an Area of Outstanding Beauty. This means it benefits from the same planning status and protection as English National Parks. Visitors are already drawn to the dramatic panoramas, varied wildlife and intriguing history, with those already in the know also appreciating and learning about the stars in the exceptionally dark night sky. Caradon Observatory readings taken in and around Bodmin Moor quantify the remarkable quality of the sky’s darkness and correspond with the findings of the Campaign to Protect Rural England Night Blight study. The results show that even around the villages there are impressive views of the night sky. There is considerable support from the public and stakeholder organisations for the establishment of Bodmin Moor as an International Dark Sky Landscape with “Park” status. Feedback from residents, businesses, landowners, farmers, astronomers, educators, environmental bodies and other statutory and charitable organisations has helped shape the proposals. Enthusiasm is such that there have already been calls to widen the buffer zone if the designation is successful. The alternative title for the designation stems from local feedback and reflects the AONB status. Bodmin Moor comprises a varied moorland landscape with a few small villages and hamlets so there is very little artificial light. Nevertheless, steps have been taken and are continuing to be made to reduce light pollution, particularly from streets. This means that the vast majority of lighting is sensitive to the dark night sky and is becoming even more sympathetic.

  • Blisland Commons Boundary Stone Project
    BLISLAND COMMONS BOUNDARY STONE PROJECT BLISLAND COMMONERS ASSOCIATION JUNE 2006 A LOCAL HERITAGE INITATIVE Blisland Commons Boundary Stone Project Andrew G. Langdon Blisland Commoners Association June 2006 A Local Heritage Initiative The author of this report would like to note that any errors or shortcomings in this work are his own responsibility. This report is primarily a document mapping the boundary stones and tracing their history and it is not intended to express any view on present landownership or boundaries. Furthermore, the numbering scheme for identifying the individual boundary stones is purely for the purposes of this report and has no bearing on ownership. Abstract This report is based on the results of a survey of the boundary stones on the Blisland Commons, Bodmin Moor, Cornwall and covers the parish of Blisland as well as parts of St Breward, Temple and St Neot. The report records the distribution of these boundary stones and attempts to identify why, where and when they were erected. It also sets out to identify the letters and symbols on each stone with the names of landowners and local manors that they represented. Furthermore it records the practical work that took place to re-erect fallen boundary stones, and name each common on a granite boulder. Finally, it also gives a summary of the associated school project, which included a field trip, classroom work and practical art work.
