First of all Happy New Year especially for those born in the year of the Yin Wood Snake. I celebrated by taking myself on the Number 17 bus from Penzance to St Just and walking from there to Cape Cornwall. It is so easy to find. I got off the bus at the St Just […]
I wasn’t intending to visit this Sacred Site on this trip, but after finding the Tregonebris Menhir, I literally stumbled across it. Still on the A30 heading towards Lands End. I was looking for a place to turn my car around, decided to pull over in a layby to let a convoy of traffic pass […]
The Mehir Tregonebris, often known as the Blind Fiddler, stands over 3 metres high with 4 ft below the surface. It is easy to find if you follow the A30 towards Lands End, past Catchall, there is a layby on your left and the entrance to the field is on the opposite side of the […]
A foggy August morning greeted me on my latest pilgrimage to find the Hurlers stone circles. On the way I stopped at King Doniert’s Stone. According to English Heritage “These two fragments, one of which is known as King Doniert’s Stone, are the only surviving examples of 9th-century stone crosses in Cornwall. The inscription on […]
I have been house sitting in Lostwithiel, so I thought I would make the most of these few days to explore the megalithic sites in the area and Brent Tor has been on my bucket list for some time. Unlike many other sites, this one is easy to find. However, you can easily miss the […]
I stumbled on Alsia Well (pronounced Ay lee ah) when reading an article in the marymichaelpilgrimsway. I had not heard of this sacred well before and not surprising, as there are no sign posts whatsoever. As it was the day of the New Moon, I thought I would hop on my local bus and just […]
Hi everyone. At long last I have experienced a pottery lesson. It has been on my bucket list for years and my niece organised a special lesson for just the two of us. Pippa runs her Lowenek Art Studio in St Martin on the Lizard in Cornwall, complete with peacocks, ducks and chickens. We really […]
What a perfect morning. Everything went to clockwork (and I missed the rain). I got my bus from Relubbus on time. Got the number 8 bus from Penzance to Sancreed on time and met a lovely lady on the bus who directed me to the well and who I chatted to on the way back […]
Do you know what it’s like when you stumble across somewhere that is like a community type hub, where everyone seems to meet and chat with each other? Well my local Post Office in Goldsithney, run by Mary and Shann is, just that. I have been told by Mary that it’s more of an “Emporium” […]
My goal for this journey was to find the Quoit and to find a gentler route to Zennor Hill. Here are some directions. Again, Zennor Quoit is not an easy place to find as no sign posts! Feeling a little bit better on this day, I was propelled forward by the beautiful rainbow (see featured […]
As is often the case, these sacred sites are not easy to find, so a blog with directions and photos is what was needed. For those of you who are interested, a Logan Stone is a rocking stone. I have not been well for the past week so I thought a walk in the fresh […]
Although it was a misty wet morning, I managed to venture into the countryside surrounding The Old Cottage. What a surprise to see daffodils out in the field. So much has changed since my last walk here two weeks ago And there are bluebells on their way too. So many trees covered in lichens. And […]
I am pleased to announce a new page on my website advertising my lovely cottage in Cornwall. I hope you enjoy reading it. Love and hugs Heather Holiday Rental, Cornwall
