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 Old Cottage
In Search of the Menhir Tregonebris
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 […]
In Search of Alsia Well 5/7/24
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 […]
In Search of Prussia Cove 24/4/24
Finding Prussia Cove in Cornwall has been on my bucket list for some time, not only because it is a beautiful place, not far from my cottage, but also because it is on the Apollo Energy Line. The story goes that the cove got its name from John Carter, who was an infamous 18th century […]
In search of the Holy Well at Sancreed
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 […]
In search of Zennor Quoit 24 February 2024
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 […]
Relubbus Walk
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 […]
Imbolc Blessings
Now is the time to burn your old Brigit’s Cross and replace it with a new one, strategically placed by your front door. I have a selection of Brigit’s Crosses for those who don’t know how to make them. In the photo, the top two are made with Heather foraged from the Apollo line at […]
17 January 2024 – First Blog Since January 2023
Happy New Year to you all from beautiful Cornwall (albeit belated). Several people have queried as to why I have not been active on my website. Well the reason is, in February 2023, the builders cut through my internet cable and I also no longer had a desk top to use. But all OK now […]
