  • GUNNISLAKE to CALSTOCK
    GUNNISLAKE to CALSTOCK As we stood waiting at Calstock for a bus to carry us up to Gunnislake, the usual ducks were milling around near the bus shelter; by far the greatest in number are Muscovy ducks. These are wild birds but they can be farmed, when they are said to produce ‘fabulous eggs and the best duck meat ever’. The name suggests they come from Moscow which couldn’t be further from the truth….they originate from South America! It is thought that the Muscovy got its name from the Muscovite Company which traded the ducks during the 1500s but they didn’t arrive in the UK until the 20th Century. They are the only domesticated duck that is not derived from the Mallard. Muscovy ducks are hardy in all weathers, from scorching sunshine to freezing ice and snow and here in the village their numbers appear to be increasing year on year. These ugly ducks are not like other ducks, firstly they do not fly much, preferring instead to waddle or lounge about as we know. Neither do they swim as much as other breeds because their oil glands are under developed and finally, they don't quack like other ducks but instead product a low hiss. On the plus side, they hunt flies and mosquitoes and eat slugs, bugs and even grass and grain…. whatever’s going really. When the bus arrived the driver looked a bit bemused when all 22 of us piled on taking up most of the seats, only to alight again at the crossroads near the local school where today’s walk began and where one more walker joined us.

  • CALSTOCK, DANESCOMBE and COTEHELE WOODS
    CALSTOCK, DANESCOMBE and COTEHELE WOODS The calendar has turned yet again which means that some of our regulars have gone off with a different set of people who meet once a month for a longer walk than our ‘Walk & Talk’ group do. I understand they are walking at Bude today so, with missing regulars and rather iffy weather, our numbers were down to 17 as we set off along Lower Kelly. June is the month when Foxgloves, Valerian and Ox-eye Daises are at their best and it wasn’t long before we spotted Valerian growing out of the wall on our left hand side. As we walked past a gate with the remains of the steep Incline railway behind, I was reminded that although much still remains of the past in Calstock, just as much lies beneath our feet or under a tangle of plants as nature attempts to reclaim what was once hers while many of the structures have now been put to a new use. The former quay is now a car park while old shops, pubs and hotels have become dwellings and the large Chapel in Sand Lane is now an Arts Centre. Shortly we walked past an old railway carriage which has now become home to a workshop, but I wonder how many of you spotted a Lime Kiln being used to support a small Grape Vine! I wasn’t feeling too good this morning and not in a very talkative mood so I chose to walk alone for a while and my mind soon began to wander as everyone continued onwards; I started thinking about the origins of the name Calstock and wondered if those 19th century workers shortened the name to ‘Cally’ like they do ‘Gunni’ for Gunnislake or ‘Tavi’ for Tavistock.

Action Plan p59 Appendix: Tavistock Statement of Significance p62 Bibliography p76 Acknowledgement The author is grateful to Alex Mettler and Barry Gamble for their assistance in preparing this strategy. 1 Introduction This strategy sets out a framework and action plan for improving interpretation in Tavistock and for enabling the town to fulfil the requirements of a Key Centre within the Cornwall and West Devon Mining Landscape World Heritage Site (WHS). It is intended to complement the Tavistock World Heritage Site Key Centre Learning Strategy (Kell 2013) which concentrates on learning activities and people. Consequently the focus here is primarily on interpretive content and infrastructure rather than personnel. Aims and objectives The brief set by the Tavistock World Heritage Site Key Centre Steering Group was to identify a consistent, integrated approach to presenting the full range of themes arising from the Outstanding Universal Value of WHS Areas 8, 9 and 10 and to respond to the specific recommendations arising from the WHS Interpretation Strategy (WHS 2005). We were asked to: x Address interpretation priorities in the context of the Cornish Mining WHS x Identify and prioritise target audiences x Set out a clearly articulated framework and action plan for the development of interpretation provision in WHS Area 10, including recommendations which address x Product development (i.e.

Excluding listed places of worship, for which the survey is still incomplete,1,150 assets have been removed for positive reasons since the Register was launched in 2008.The sites that remain at risk tend to be the more intractable ones where solutions are taking longer to implement. While the overall number of buildings at risk has fallen, the average conservation deficit for each property has increased from £260k (1999) to £370k (2012).We are also seeing a steady increase in the proportion of buildings that are capable of beneficial re-use – those that have become redundant not because of any fundamental lack of potential, but simply as the temporary victims of the current economic climate. The South West headlines for 2012 reveal a mixed picture. We will continue to fund Monument Management It is good news that 8 buildings at risk have been removed Schemes which, with match-funding from local authorities, from the Register; less good that another 15 have had to offer a cost-effective, locally led approach to tackling be added.
