Lots of young locals are learning old skills - a cousin has learnt how to do the hedges.

On all levels this is a tragic loss! :'( :'( :'( :'( :'(

Called there once in the distant past at it was a typical Cornish pub of that era.  It will be hard, and very expensive, to recreate the 13th century fabric of the building, let alone the atmosphere such a lovely old building generates :'( :'( :'( :'(

First found it 4 - 5 years ago, decided to visit - beautiful place.

Visible at the end of the Cornish episode of Railway Walks which was on BBC HD in 2009.
