  • Marazion to Porthleven
    Pure Cornwall’s favourite South West Coastal walk to Porthleven MARAZION TO PORTHLEVEN Length: 11 miles (17km) Grading: Moderate to strenuous Much of this walk through an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty offers fantastic views of Mounts Bay and the magical island and castle of St Michael’s Mount. Fairly easy, level walking allows time to enjoy the views, until the Path begins to narrow and rollercoaster over the cliffs up to and beyond Praa Sands. The stretch on the approach to the pretty fishing village of Porthleven is designated a Site of Special Scientific Interest. Highlights along the path: The ancient market town of Marazion, with its very active community of painters and potters. There has been a settlement here since 308BC and the town claims to be the oldest in Britain, and could be the settlement known to the Romans as Ictis. Views of St Michael’s Mount. Once a Benedictine Priory, a fortress and tin mining port, it can be accessed by a causeway at low tide or a ferry. Perranuthnoe: this fairly undeveloped village, which may actually date back to Roman times, has an interesting church dedicated to St. Piran, the patron saint of Cornwall. Look out for the Norman font and Norman stone heads surrounding the doorway. After a rest on the sandy beach, you may also want to pay a visit to the Victoria Inn which is reputed to be the oldest recorded inn in Cornwall, dating back to the 12th century. Prussia Cove: the headquarters of the famous smuggler John Carter and now the base for the masterclasses of the International Musician’s Seminar.

  • Cornish Mineral Reference Manual
    Cornish Mineral Reference Manual Peter Golley and Richard Williams April 1995 First published 1995 by Endsleigh Publications in association with Cornish Hillside Publications © Endsleigh Publications 1995 ISBN 0 9519419 9 2 Endsleigh Publications Endsleigh House 50 Daniell Road Truro, Cornwall TR1 2DA England Printed in Great Britain by Short Run Press Ltd, Exeter. Introduction Cornwall's mining history stretches back 2,000 years; its mineralogy dates from comparatively recent times. In his Alphabetum Minerale (Truro, 1682) Becher wrote that he knew of no place on earth that surpassed Cornwall in the number and variety of its minerals. Hogg's 'Manual of Mineralogy' (Truro 1825) is subtitled 'in wich [sic] is shown how much Cornwall contributes to the illustration of the science', although the manual is not exclusively based on Cornish minerals. It was Garby (TRGSC, 1848) who was the first to offer a systematic list of Cornish species, with locations in his 'Catalogue of Minerals'. Garby was followed twenty-three years later by Collins' A Handbook to the Mineralogy of Cornwall and Devon' (1871; 1892 with addenda, the latter being reprinted by Bradford Barton of Truro in 1969). Collins followed this with a supplement in 1911. (JRIC Vol. xvii, pt.2.). Finally the torch was taken up by Robson in 1944 in the form of his 'Cornish Mineral Index' (TRGSC Vol. xvii), his amendments and additions were published in the same Transactions in 1952. All these sources are well known, but the next to appear is regrettably much less so. it would never the less be only just to mention Purser's 'Minerals and locations in S.W.

    Marazion and District Community Plan 2007- 2027 For the town of Marazion, and the parishes of St Hilary, Ludgvan, Perranuthnoe, and St Michaels’ Mount Marazion and District Forum (Incorporating the town of Marazion and the parishes of Ludgvan, Perranuthnoe, St Hilary and St Michael’s Mount) Marazion and District Community Plan 2 Foreword Welcome to the Marazion and District Community Plan This community strategic plan is the work of the Marazion and District Forum. We have prepared it because we care about our community: about the town and parishes, the people who live and work here, and the quality and beauty of our coastal and countryside environment. Researching and writing the plan represents a lot of work on the part of many members of the community, particularly those who completed our survey, those who attended our Prioritisation Day in February, and of course those who took part in our themed discussion groups. This plan responds to the issues you raised; I hope you will participate in its delivery. To those readers who represent the community at local and regional government level, and those of you representing other key agencies and organisations, this plan is significant in that it represents the concerns, issues and aspirations of the community; it is rooted in the community, being based on the findings from the extensive community survey we undertook during 2006/7, and consultations on specific topics during the summer of 2007. The plan describes our overall vision for our community in the future, and sets out goals that will help us realise that vision.

  • St Piran and St Michael, Perranuthnoe; St Hilary (At St Hilary); St Germochus, Germoe
    The Churches of Far West Cornwall - Trail 4. St Tewinock, Towednack; St Ludgvan and St Paul, Ludgvan; St Piran and St Michael, Perranuthnoe; St Hilary (at St Hilary); St Germochus, Germoe. Tuesday 2nd August 2016 It was another damp, drizzly, misty day (our first week was much better). So after a quick walk for a paper, we packed a lunch bag and went church/village hunting. We started off at Towednack, St TEWINOCK, which was hidden down a drive that appears to lead to a manor house or farm. It was used to film the marriage and burial services in the original 1975 Poldark TV series. The church entrance at St Tewinock, Towednack. The church was built in the 13th century, with additions in 1460 and a granite tower in 1500. It is dedicated to St Tewinock whose name is often interchangeable with St Winwaloe. St Winwaloe was a 6th century hermit on the Breton coast. He founded, and was the first abbot of, the monastery of Landévennec in Britanny and is buried there. 52 churches in Brittany are dedicated to him. This list of vicars of Towednack goes back to 1281. A brightly painted blue roof at Towednack. Strikingly carved bench ends dating from 1633 are mounted on the wall, depicting two church wardens of the day. One bears the lettering ‘Matthew Trenwith’ and the other ‘James Trewhella’. The simple altar at St Tewinock, Towednack. The organ housed beneath an arch at St Tewinock, Towednack. There is a simple yet really comfortable feel to the church with a lovely welcome.
