  • 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.

  • Horse Around 28
    Free to Members No. 28 Spring 2010 Straight from the horse’s mouth In This Bumper Issue Hello Everyone Gwallon Bridleway Opened Another Christmas has come and gone and we are already a TREC comes to the far South West quarter of the way through 2010. The years seem to be flashing by. Our traditional Christmas Cracker ride was well Carnyorth Common Update supported and the Get Together at the Engine Inn was also a Steel Horse News and Trails very sociable evening. Now we are looking at the AGM Horse Hike Reports coming up already. It’s been a tough winter but we have got Horse Hike Programme off more lightly in the far southwest. We just got rain, rain and more rain whilst up country got the white stuff. The horses ‘ploughed the fields and splattered the good grass off the land. and more … But they’ve been fed and watered by our unstinting hand.’ (apologies to the hymn!) Now with the recent dry weather the poached ground has set like concrete. Every bridleway and track continued to be as bad as ever under hoof. Horse hikes had to be cancelled but recently, we have had some lucky breaks to run a few good rides in reasonable weather.
