The medieval chapel and holy well of St Clether is thought to once have been the resting place for the bones of the saint that founded it. Today, still only accessible on foot, it remains a wonderful haven of peace and tranquillity. A perfect escape. #Cornwall cornishbirdblog.com/st-clether-c...

This rocky gap has been called Bodrugan’s Leap for 500 yrs, ever since Henry Bodrugan jumped for his life from the cliff. It's a story passed down through the generations that at first sounds like a mythical tale but this is a legend that can be backed up by fact. cornishbirdblog.com/the-story-of...

Huge THANK YOU to the hardy group of folks who joined us on Bodmin Moor yesterday evening for the 2nd of our Dark Skies walks! The moor was a very 'atmospheric' place last evening but the landscape never fails to inspire & I think we all had a wonderful if slightly windblown time! #Cornwall #Kernow

✨️NEW BLOG POST! Back in 2025, I was asked to be involved in a project to bring the work of a little known local artist to print. When I saw the work of Oliver Bedford & his incredible journeys in China I knew that it was something that I wanted to be part of! cornishbirdblog.com/introducing-...

For hundreds of years damaged reputations were avenged and arguments were settled with a duel. After coming across a couple of almost comical accounts of duels fought in #Cornwall I decided to dig a bit deeper . . . cornishbirdblog.com/pistols-at-d...

For those who came on my guided walk to Goodaver Stone Circle at the weekend here is what is used to look like! Such a different place back in 2022 when you could only get there by sneaking in through the plantation! #cornwall

I'll be chatting to Julie Skentelbery on Radio Cornwall later today about this amazing standing stone on Goonhilly Downs. For those of you that have missed it I've had a weekly slot with them for 5 years now discussing local history stories. 👂Listen in at 12.20ish cornishbirdblog.com/the-dry-tree...

This - Buried at the Crossroads, by @cornishbirdblog.com - is highly recommended. If you've read her blog you'll know she has an uncanny knack for mining the highest grade of narrative ore from the Cornish archive. This little book does the same thing brilliantly in longer form.

Let’s give Cornish writer Elizabeth a follow. 👍😀 Liz is author of The Cornish Bird blog and podcaster. bsky.app/profile/corn...

What a gorgeous memory this evening at Goodaver is going to be! #Cornwall
